Do you think that someday a woman will be president?

Definitely.  It's only a matter of time before that becomes common.  Like any first though she will have to be above and beyond the capabilities of the other candidates.  I think that's going to make a good difference though and it would help the country a lot.  Hillary Clinton I think would be a bad choice as the first woman president because she's already too well known and the media hype would drown out anything she does.

I would not be opposed to having a woman in office, however I would never vote for someone just because she is a woman.  I think that if she represents my interests well, then great, but if a man opposing her holds more similar views than her, he'd get my vote instead.

i woman of corse yes.BUT  child...no i dont think that a child would ever be mature enough and have to knowledge and political strength to ever lead a country...unless the child has the mind of a grown person lol...anyways its against the rules...a person has to be at least 35 to even run for president.

Having attended a college made up exclusivly of women I've had an up close look at issues I really never thought to be issues.  This is almost one.  Yes, there will people who will vote for Hillary just becasue she is a woman.  Yes, there will be people who vote against her becasue she's a woman.  Other then that, I don't really think it matters what hangs between the legs of our president, if anything.  It just matters if they are the best person for the job.  But to answer the question.  I feel it might happen and soon, just not yet.  This country needs to drag itself out of the 1940's and realize that anyone can do any job as long as they are qualified.

Even if the right supports Condi in the Presidential Cabinet, I really doubt their support would run all of the way to the Presidency. There are far to many in the "religion right" that would have a ideological problem with a woman being President. \n\nAs for Hillary, I think she could get a lot of support from the more liberal left, but still not enough to be elected. Not to mention there is A LOT of dirt on her. The realities of who she is would turn away all but the most liberal minded. \n\nSo yes, I think it is difficult for a female to be elected. I wouldn't rule it out for the future, but for now I find it highly unlikely it could be accomplished.

I'm with you---Hillary would no doubt make  a fine President. It takes a woman to do it right and I think that she would be a breath of fresh air for the whole country.

I think so. I bet there will be a female president before there is a minority president.

A female president would probably be very good for the country. Unfortunately it probably won't happen due to the way of diplomatic relations. In America, women are treated as equals to men, (for the most part) but in many foreign countries, woman are not seen this way. They won't respect a woman as they would a man. Sad But True.

Who says a woman cant? Some have the fear that she would run it with emotions and thoughtfulness rather than who could win and who can be in control.oddly, i believe most of those who think that,are men.Actually,i think a woman would get this country in order.Have you ever thought that that may just be what this country needs? some thoughtfulness and emotions even if it politics.Doesnt mean people shouldnt actually have feelings and care about the american people.Not just see them as "little"people or people who are below them in the system.

I think a candidate should be chosen and a President elected based on his/her integrity and suitability (based on experience, commitment to community development etc) for the job, not gender, race etc.\n\nHaving said that, I personally think it's highly unlikely that we'll see a woman elected to this office in the next few decades. The fact of the matter is that breaking into the good ole boys club is hard enough as it is, without facing gender-biased stereotypes once you get to Capitol Hill.

Yes. You will see a woman President in your lifetime.\n\nIt is folly to think otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a choice next time round - Rice or Clinton - take your pick. Can you see any republican better qualified than Rice? She has incredible influence and pwer and knows the Whitehouse like the back of her hand. Can you think of a better known Democrat than Hilary? and she CERTAINLY knows the whitehouse. She lived there for several years.\n\nIn the UK we had Maggie Thatcher. The Germans have a woman. Even the Catholics in Ireland have had a woman, India has had a woman and now Liberia!!!\n\nI know America is backward - heck - it took you years to give up slavery after the rest of the world - but you'll catch up quick! :)

In many countries women do get elected as president. In the USA, women are finally gaining the political power, experience, and visibility needed to take on the presidency. Someday soon we should have our first women president.

Depends on who she is running against. While I certainly know that women are just as (if not more) capable as men to run the country I would choose a man if I liked them more. If we had more idiots running like this last election, yes, I totally would vote for her.

Frankly, I don't think this nation has evolved enough to elect a female President. We are still way too provincial. Also, I don't believe religious fundamentalists would support a woman as President...\n\nMyself, I'd vote for one, but none of the current crop. I would have voted for Rice, but now I don't trust her.
