At present, women don't have the numbers in other branches of the government, in business, in law, in other positions of power. When these numbers increase, there will be enough female people in key positions to make sure that a woman has an equal chance at becoming president. It's been a long hard struggle, but soon women will have equality with men.

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 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 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.

Ann Coulter scares me a little bit.\n\nI don't think America's ready for a female presidential candidate UNLESS both of the nominees (speaking Dems/Reps) were women. I think it would be a wise move to have a female VP with a stronger candidate for presidential. Personally, Obama/Clinton would be one of the better combos, although Clinton will divide the US more than any other female Democratic candidate I think. Which is a shame, because I like her.

Yes, I honestly do believe there will be a woman president.  Not because she's a woman though, and not because she may or may not be riding on the coattails of her husband the former president.  It's really inevitable.  And the people that reference countries like England, it doesn't really compare, 1. because they're used to a ruling woman with the monarchy and 2. we're a relatively young country compared to European ones.  Not that that's an excuse, but the country obviously hasn't been ready for it!  Also, no women have stepped up to run!  The closest we've gotten was Geraldine Ferraro, and she was running with that imbecile Mondale!  I hope people don't vote for a woman just because she's a woman and I hope that a "block" as one answerer mentioned does not result in an election of a specific type of individual.  A woman will win when she has the principles and values that the majority of Americans will vote for and she actually RUNS for President!!  PS - I am a woman, and would like to see it, but I wont vote for one just because of that!

Yes, I think eventually a woman will become president.  However, I don't think this is going to happen until other countries can take women seriously.  In countries, third world especially, women are less valued than men.  Until those countries value and give equality to women, a female president is unlikely.  Other countries just wouldn't listen to a woman; they may even be offended by it.  \nI think a black president will happen before a woman president personally, the exception of course would be if a black woman was elected like Condi.  I seriously doubt that she'll run though.

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.

I think the American people are ready for a woman president. I wouldn't VOTE for Hiliary Clinton but I would vote for Condelezza Rice. I think she would make a great president. She would also make a milstone for the United States becasue she would be the first woman president and the first african american president. I hope she runs for office.

Answering as a political scientist, I have to say not in the near future with given voting trends.  Women may have the majority in voting, but they do not vote for other women typically.  Be it that they do not trust their own gender or another reason, women do not vote for women.  Men apparently are not as biased as women and will vote either way, but I do not see a real female candidate currently.  Clinton has too much baggage and Rice isn't that well known enough yet.

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.

I would have no problem voting for a woman for president if she were the best candidate.  I don't know of any women likely to run who I'd like to see as president currently.

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.

Let's hope we don't have to find that out.\n\nI think it would be so sad, that the first woman president of the USA would be Hilary Clinton, surely there are honorable, honest ladies out there that are ready to make the grade. JetDoc has her characterized perfectly, just go look at her voting record, she would sell her soul (quite possibly has) for political gain.
