Women have been leading/ruling countries for  a long time.  I am not even going to list any because there are 4 that were some of the most powerful in history and I am not talking about anyone before 1900.  any student of powerful leaders of history would know them.  As far as women not being able to handle it...how many men could say they could handle childbirth without ever having gone through it themselves?  how many men could face the decision of having or not having a child?  how many men can understand what it is to live/breath/birth a live human being? Women are designed to bear pain better...although most men disagree simply because they see only one side. \n\n2) People use the excuse "I would but haven't found one qualified yet"  really?  anyone who has done even the smallest amount of study of US presidents (US Presidents for Dummies, I'm serious) would see the HORRIFYING people that have lived in the White House.  Qualifications DO NOT get you elected to the White house!!!  it is party politics, wedge issues, psychological marketing, campaign themes/strategy.  Women/black/indians/japanese...where would these groups be if change for the sake of change had not occurred\n\n3) in my experience in retail management/college/government  I find women to be just as qualified and experienced leaders.  there is no physical or mental quality to leading that men have and women do not.  Leading is Leading and a person who can, will...and a person who can't...won't.\n\nthe answer to the question now...\n\na lot of men say "can't handle stress," "the islamic countries," "better decision-making," " PMS."  Strom Thurmond believed and actively voted in a segregationist USA...thankfully his vision did not come to pass.  Dred Scott/Plessy v Ferguson.  Men who use the above mentioned quotes use the same attachment to history and tradition(even though history has proven women to be very capable)  They look for excuses why not rather than why and will never truly see the positive side to having a female commander in chief.  They probably have some unresolved issue with women and the idea of subordination to one.\n\nWomen who say no...don't understand it...I'm a guy\n\neveryone else who says yeah...kudos for thinking outside the box and prefering to be on the winning side of history.

Possibly (I am 31), but she will have to prove to everyone that she is not ruled by just her emotions.  If I don't see one, I think my daughter will (age 11).  I also think that the first woman president will be due to a situation like on the TV show - the VP taking over for a dead President.  America would go for a woman VP before a woman President.

Both women are intelligent and astute, or they wouldn't be where they are.  Men have led for over 200 years and look where we are.  Why not a woman for President?

Absolutely, not only it is possible but very likely.Be ready  for the next election process where Sen. Hillary Rodhman Clinton may be facing Condolece Rice. A little more than half the population are women.

If she's qualified to run the country I'll vote for her, I don;'t have a problem with a woman president or a minority president, I do however have a problem with underqualified candidates. Hillary is underqualified to be a senator, and certainly underqualified to be president, one clinton in office was enough, we don't need 2, look what 2 bush's in office has done.

This country is in no way ready for a woman president, and even if we were, the countries we deal with will probably never be. Look, if we have a woman president how will we ever get those sandy, archaic, third world countries to take us seriously, they don't even let their women show any skin, let alone make any decisions about anything important. If we had that loud mouth Hillary Clinton for president of our country, or any other woman for that matter, we would be the laughing stock of the entire world.

I think the first minority president should be a female.  No joke.  Lets show em all!

Condeleesa Rice can run for President and it could be more interesting if the opponent is Hillary Clinton.  Then, the US will have a woman as President for the first time.

Well the last female Prime Minister stayed a lot longer than many other Prime Ministers last century, but I don't see another one coming soon. It's not out of the question, but all the main parties seem to have male candidates in all their leadership contests (except the SNP, where there's a woman in charge in Scotland, but she's still officially subservient to a man sitting in Westminster)

I don't think there should be a women president. There are too many countries that look down on women and consider them a sign of weakness. If we have a women president then we will have ALOT of problems. \n\n\nBut if I had to choose which is very painful. But Rice. Clinton is the biggest B*tch in the world! Pure evil

I say a women WILL BE PRESIDENT soon.\nI've got a feeling that the US as a whole is ready for a change and one that is more dramatic then just switching parties. DEM or REP but rather Men to Women.\n\nBy the way I love women (my wife is one) \nGO WOMEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes there will be a woman president someday - of course it will happen. Whoever is qualified (male or female) will become elected, and at this point there isn't anyone standing out. While I know a woman will become President, I sure hope the first isn't Hillary Clinton - Condi would be a better choice.

So many other countries have a woman as head of state, I don't see why we shouldn't.  If she can get the voters to turn out and vote, then she will be elected.

I believe most people are ready for a woman in the White House.  More than that, though, we need a real leader who will bring us together.  We have a lot of issues out there right now that split us right down the middle at 50/50.  Worst of all, there is NO ONE out there, man or woman, who is really saying what is on peoples' minds.\n\nI would like to think that we could have a sensible president who would be a national and world leader, and that the sensibility would lead to less war and what not.  Problem is that there are lots of people out there (inside and outside America) who want a fight right now, and you won't get them to listen and follow any system because the system has screwed them over too many times.  This leads to an ineffective government, and infighting--which is exactly what we see in this world today.\n\nJust voting for some woman won't solve anything.  But I am certain there is a woman out there who could do the job if she wanted it.

I think it will be a women president first  When we have black president she'll likely be a women. I think we're in for alot of women presidents.
