WASHINGTON | Wed Mar 12, 2008 5:34pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Democratic vice presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro stepped down on Wednesday from her finance position with Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, a campaign spokesman said.

The decision came after Ferraro, the only woman to run on a major U.S. party's presidential ticket, said Clinton's rival, Barack Obama, would not be ahead in the Democratic presidential race if he was not black.

Ferraro was a member of the campaign's finance committee and raised funds for Clinton's White House bid, the campaign spokesman said.
