The odds are firmly against Geraldine Ferraro, 48, actually becoming the first woman to stand next in line of succession to the White House. Ronald Reagan will be a formidable campaign foe. But the point was, no one could be sure; a thousand calculations?the effect of a woman national candidate on the female vote, the male vote, the South, the West, urban blue-collar workers, Black and Hispanic voters?have to be done for the very first time.
