Is America Ready for either a black president or female president?

Yes, or almost.  Colin Powell seems pretty smart, so does Rice.  People are already talking about Hillary (whom I don't want to see elected because spouses tend to be able hold considerable leverage over their significant others, she's too liberal for my tastes, I don't remember her before her husband became president, and she seems to be making political moves, not true idealogical shifts, simply to attract voters.  I don't like that.)

Yes I think the country is ready, it is at least split 50/50 so I think it could swing toward a capable woman for President. I also think that Hillary could be that person. She is smart and a good senator for New York. If you want to see the hate of repuglican politics just nominate Hillary and you will see it at its finest.

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

Could happen but Im not sure if the American public is ready as of yet, but you never know, she could pull it off.  Id say she has he greatest chance out of all of becoming the first Woman President.

We need a President that won't bullsh*t, mislead, or disregard the constitutional rights of the people.  Is doesn't matter what sex or race or religion they happen to be.  I can't think of any good candidates to suggest - male or female but I added a link that might help settle the debate between your Uncles. It is the website of THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN WOMEN AND POLITICS.

The truth is that America is not ready for a female president, like they are not ready for a black president.  You have to realize that majority of America is still in the mentality that this country was founded on (White, Christians, Rich Men).  If you live in a major city, you have more diversity.  But most of America is not like that...its made of small towns and ideologies of generations upon generations (women belong in the home or "to know her place").  It will take time before America can accept full DIVERSITY....until that time we as a people have to fight for these things.

Ever heard "Ready or not, here I come."? Every American woman should vote for a woman and so challenge America to be ready, because she is here! Some men presidents have been so bad, no woman can be worse.

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?

I dont think it would really matter. In fact I think a strong assertive woman...who is still compassionate and realistic would work nicely. We dont need anyone whos a bit obsessed or overly driven about becoming the president. Just someone who feels they have something to offer. Not some agenda or thing to proove.

I think that it is possible it can happen just like I think it is possible that one day a female will be president but I don't think it's on the table soon.  It will take a major shift in the current mind-state of Americans to put in either a female or an atheist in the top spot.

I don't think it is a question of being a man or a woman.\nIts the knowledge and experience in situations that would make a good president.  Personality, Charisma, Handling the Press --\nIsn't that really what a president is?  Just a figurehead?

I think America might be ready, but, since the president is the face of the nation, the rest of the world would have to be ready too.  I don´t like the idea of Mrs. Clinton or Mrs. Bush becoming presidents.  I think the fact that their husbands were already presidents would make them look as if they used their "connections" to get there.  I think it would be better if a woman became president as a result of her work.

I don't believe the US is ready for a woman president. Most men would not vote for one because feminist would use the "victory" to undermind men. Many men that say they wouldn't mind a female president only say so to please woman. To sound "sensative" and "considerate". Woman would not, because they trust men more than they do another women. Woman feel they know too well how other woman are very influenced by inconsitant and hardly controlable emotions and hormones. Most woman stil hold dear their femininity, motherhood, and nurturing. However, the likely female candidates feel woman with this mentality are "holding back the feminist movement". \n\nIn short, men will not vote for anyone that underminds their manhood and role, and woman will not vote for a woman that challenges their womanhood and seeks to reverse the God given roles of men and woman.
