Future president? Female or black guy?

A woman is more likely to become president first,because of the money involved in campaigning.Its easier to marry into money than earn it and white billionaires are much more common than black ones,who seldom seem to inherit that kind of bucks,but usually have to work hard for it.Of course things are different in other lands and places.

I would actually love to see both a Black man and a woman run for office at the same time, since this has never happened in the history of the us presidential elections, I think we all need to be open minded and think that both a woman or a black man are perfectly capable of runiing this country.  I also think this could happen as early as the 2008 elections with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the ticket.

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.

For now the white female has the inside track.\n\nThe most obvious black male, Colin Powell, has decided that he will not run for President.  Presidents usually come from four sources. Governors, Vice-Presidents, Senators, and Generals with the best predictor being a governorship.\n\nThere are no African-American governors at this hour although Ken Blackwell in Ohio and Lynn Swann in Pennsylvania are looking to correct this in 06.  There is one black senator, Barak Obama.  He is a first termer though.  That is generally too little to run.  He needs time and experience.\n\nThere are several white female governors and senators including the junior senator from New York, Hillary.  Kathleen Sebelius from Kansas is a governor who has Presidential potential.  There are others with successful governor tenures, Rell of Connecticut etc.  Being a successful governor seems to be the easiest way to become president ie.:  Bush 43, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Roosevelt.\n\nThe odds favor a white female in the short term.

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.

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! :)

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.

First of all- neither of the idiot twins have any sort of real political aspirations, so I don't think that the world is at risk of that happening.  Secondly, as much as America needs it, we're not ready for a female president.  Truthfully- I don't know that we'll ever be ready for that.\nSo my answer is most definitely "neither."

Who's all down for a black president

It depends on the woman.  The right woman would make a terrific president, the wrong woman, just like the wrong man would be a disaster.  Sex, race, and religion should not be an issue in selecting a leader.  Use logic when you vote.  Vote for the person whom you believe is best for the job, and not based on party lines, or emotions.

A woman won't be the next President of the United States, but I can assure you that there will be a female as President in the future.

Condie Rice! She would kick a$$! I think she would be a great no-nonsense President. First Black President, First Female President, she'd be awesome! I don't think any democrat candidate could touch her without looking like a racist or sexist.

HILLARY CLINTON!!!! Its about time a woman came to office! Bill Clinton will have the liberty of being the first "First Gentelman" or somethin like that.\nOr, any woman...men just dont do it right. example: our current president

I am a Republican white male over 30, and I would vote for a woman, no matter what the race, if she is the best for the country.  I hope the Condi runs, so incredibly smart and talented!  I pray that American gets past it's bigotry and can be color and gender neutral, someday...
