Obama camp could've chose to exploit Ferraro remark by firing back at her a few days before Miss.,

instead of waiting till th day of the primary, before her words had any chance to own the news cycle. Unless I am missing something, this shows an instance where Obama could have exploited her controversial racial remarks to advantage big time but chose not to.
(Note: If Ferraro's comments are 4 days old, like I am reading, I have to assume that Obama camp have been well aware of them for a while)

3. I think they waited so it would have an effect on the primary.

And to use it as a GOTV tactic.

7. I don't care for "gotcha" politics myself....

But whatever floats your boat. I also think it panders to the voters' worst instincts.
