If a Latino wins it, all of America will go to hell.. They will tear down the border, and all of a sudden it will be the United States of Mexico...

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.

I think it is rather likely there will be a black president sometime during the 21st Century.  There are several well-qualified potential candidates now but I don't see most of them seeking the office.

It will be two more years before the Presidential Election.  John McKane, maybe.  Two years is a long time.  Bush will have served his time.  We will have to find someone to take his place.

You will not get an honest answer for this question. PC is what you'll get.\n\nRealistically. that's not going to happen anytime soon in USA. He'll not make it that far because he'll be assassinated when he's nominated.

Well it would probably have to be a Caucasian male.\nAll those people freaked out by a woman or a minority would need someone they're used to seeing in politics.\n\nI'd like to see:\nRuss Feingold - he seems to be the only one willing to stand up to the current adminstration.\n\nHowever she'd probably have to pick some even more conservative Southerner (like John Edwards) to try to appeal there.\n\nPersonally I think her current "moderate" leanings are turning off the people on the left who think she's selling out too much.\n\nInteresting question to ponder, thanks for posting.\n\n:)

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

Barack Obama's views are very strong and show a lot of compassion, persistance, and patriotism. However, it is never as simple as saying yes while hearing a speech. As sad as it is to say, America is as ready to have an African American president as it is ready for a female president. I doubt it will happen in the near future. Let it be known, that isn't because of the actual issues and views. It's because the majority of this society has a vision of what a president should be [much like the presidents that have come before our time] and expect the same out of the position. The majority of our society isn't ready to accept the fact that there are intelligent people who care about this country who AREN'T 45+year old white Christian males. African Americans and females alike contain people who are just as intelligent and worldly. Both groups should have a chance to have a representative in the White House. However, as we both know, most of this society disagrees.

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.

If you mean _American_ president, I really hope it's an African American woman, somebody non-Caucasian, non-male, non-whatever-previous-presidents-have-been, because it's time to drastically change, wake up the small-minded people, and have a brand new view on how to rule this country!

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

America is ready for a President of any color or gender.  The question is, will American's vote for such a person?  If the right candidate presents him or her self, I think they can get elected.  Right now, though, nobody appears to be this person.  Jesse Jackson?  Yeah, right.  Way too radical, even for some African Americans.  Condoleeza Rice?  No way - she has too much of Bush's dirt on her hands.  Colin Powell?  A possibility, but he has the Bush problem as well, and besides, he has said he doesn't want to run for political office.  Maybe in 2012 a guy like Barak Obama from Illinois can run and win.  I think its more likely that we will see a female President first, like Hillary Clinton.  She is probably going to be the Democratic nominee in 2008, and the Republicans will be hard pressed to find a competitive candidate after all that Bush has done as President.  The country is tired of Republican policy, and are looking for a change.

they have male ego i suppose.  i don't mind at who becomes president, as long as they know how to lead a nation and set an example for others, by all means, i'll vote for them.

No and no. I would surely hope that at this point people are warming up to the idea of having a female leader.  Other countries have and are doing just fine.
