It's not a matter of "should a woman be president." It's not important that we elect a woman, so that we can finally say we did it. What needs to happen is to elect the most effective leader, whether it is a man or a woman. That's not so easy to do. Usually, instead of a leader, we get a politician. A politician is someone who cuts deals, trades influence, and always if it will benefit him or her. That makes politicians self-serving. A leader is someone who does the right thing for the country, whether it is good for him or her personally or not. We haven't had one of those in a long time. Harry Truman 60 years ago. Or maybe John Kennedy 45 years ago.

Either one of them would make a good first woman president.  The first woman president would have to be able to withstand a lot of criticism.  They would have to flip-flop with the best and act like it was the way they truly feel.  The men presidents have done this for centuries.  Both of these women have demonstrated this ability.  The first woman president must not back down in a fight, even if they are dead wrong.  This would be a sign of weakness.  Again both qualify.  Both women have already run the White House.  Both have been involved in underhanded dealings and have gotten away with it.  Just like various male presidents.  How could you go wrong with either.  Since I tend to lean more to the conservative side as I've gotten older, I would probably cast my vote to Condi.

There are several women out there right now with the nads to be president.  Many other nations have female heads of state so why no the U.S.?  One way to look at it is being a good mother.  To do this you have to be a good leader requiring strength, making tough decisions even if those you lead (your kids) hate you for a while, being flexible with what new information comes your way, and so forth.  \nNot saying a president has to be a mom, just saying women have the ability and strength of character to do the job.\n\nThanks for a great question.

Next election we have 2 female candidates, and I believe both are the favored candidates. \nSecondly a womans nature isn't to lead in a head position, but in a behind the scenes position. I'm not saying it's impossible, however, most wouldn't exactly shine. Third, the number of female candidates has been far to low for one to have been elected. Fourth, foreign negotiations would probably have trouble with a female leader. Many countries still have women in lesser positions and believe women aren't fit for head positions in anything. A probably distant fifth reason is that some guys wouldn't except a female president so they would lose votes there, but noone's ever gonna be excepted by everyone. Don't take this as unfair treatment, it's fairly equal, and it's also natural. Most people I know would be open minded enough to accept a woman, that was qualified, to be president.\n\nI believe that's 5 good reasons, and also I gave you some info on the fact that we might soon get a female president, so whatever sexism you were trying to 'bring to light' or w/e  you should probably drop. Sexism is similar to racism, most is fueled by the person who is 'hurt' by it, for the simple reason that they can't understand, someone's always going to find some reason not to like you, it doesn't matter what you say. If you're perfect in every other way, they'll use your race, your sex, or your ethnicity against you. Grow past it and stronger than it and you'll probably notice less of it.\n\nAnd trust me, just because we get women leaders, we would not be without war. Men are more logical than women, and women act on emotions. Emotions are feelings and feelings are temporal. If a girl's on her period and then also ends up with some problem with her kid if she's married, and then has to negotiate with Russia, I'd personally be scared. That's one of the reasons women operate better behind the scenes. But my point was, impulse and emotion cause a whole lot more fighting than logic does. Women are human just like men, and there's going to be fighting regardless.

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 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 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 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 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 think there is many females that are extreamly qualified to be president. SEN Hilliary Clinton for one, Hey lets kill two birds with one stone and Elect madam Secretary Conny Rice.

Yes, I would because i thought that her husband wasn't really a bad president and I think that she would make a great candiate because for one she is a woman and would not make that same mistakes that her husband did and I just think that she would be a great leader to the country. (Don't mean to offend anyone)

i would vote for a woman if i felt she was qualified. gender may however play a role in foreign affairs as some countries still have some strong beliefs about a woman's place.  I would consider Mrs. Clinton but would need to hear where she stands on certain issues

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.

you should ask women. Since the late 60's, more voters have been women then men. So if there hasn't been a female president yet, it's the women that made it so.

No. I'm NOT impressed with her. I would love to see a woman president, just not her. I believe that she would screw things up for women trying for the presidency for a very long time. She should NOT be our first female president.
