Here, for your reading pleasure, is a nugget from Bill Buckley's National Review, in August 1984:

Mrs. Ferraro is manifestly an affirmative-action nominee. She has been in the House only since 1979 and cannot be said, on the record, to be qualified to be President….

Re McCain's remark, "She's a partner and a soulmate," (WTF?) there is this:
"Thus grief still treads upon the heels of pleasure:
"Married in haste, we may repent at leisure."
William Congreve, 1693
(Though I doubt there will be much leisure in the McCain camp.)
