if we were to elect a female president, how do you think the US would be different??????

Just about anybody would be better than who we have now.  I do think a woman would be less likely to pull the trigger on war, but once she did watch out because she would be out to win.\n\nI also believe that she may be more interested in solving family issues like lack (and cost of) healthcare, especially for children.

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.

You bet.  This is why a woman president would be bad; we'd have a new war once a month.

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 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.

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.

I would definitely vote for a woman. The idea that women are too emotional is a stereotype. Even so, I'd rather have someone who is emotional and sensitive over someone whose emotion is expressed in mindless bravado, like the current president. Unfortunately, the red states will never go for a woman and the GOP won't have a woman as their candidate until the 22nd century. They seem to run about 100 years behind progress.

I think the US is ready for a no bullshit president.  One like Truman or many others like him who go off the principle that they are there to make the country(our country) a better place.  Whether it's male, female, black, white, or brown my vote will go to the person who comes out and says listen I know this may not be the most popular idea but here's what I'm thinking and why it'll work.(if it makes sense)  So is the us ready for a female president?  I think the us is ready for a tough american president.  What that person has between their legs or on their chest doesn't matter.

Yes, I so agree, we think more logically, and we tend to make better choices, I think a woman would make a excellent president, God bless

It's time for a woman to run the country. Women think differently than men, they use their brains instead of ........well, u know.

Depends on who she is running against. While I certainly know that women are just as (if not more) capable as men to run the country I would choose a man if I liked them more. If we had more idiots running like this last election, yes, I totally would vote for her.

Even if the right supports Condi in the Presidential Cabinet, I really doubt their support would run all of the way to the Presidency. There are far to many in the "religion right" that would have a ideological problem with a woman being President. \n\nAs for Hillary, I think she could get a lot of support from the more liberal left, but still not enough to be elected. Not to mention there is A LOT of dirt on her. The realities of who she is would turn away all but the most liberal minded. \n\nSo yes, I think it is difficult for a female to be elected. I wouldn't rule it out for the future, but for now I find it highly unlikely it could be accomplished.

i would love to see the president and tell him how badly he is doing...give the position to a female and see what she can do already.

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 it would help to repair our image as a country.  Especialyl if she's nearly as good as her husband.  She can't be worse than Bush....because he sent us into war.  But I think it will lessen the hate for America by the rest of the world because it will remind everyone that we believe everyone to be equal.  And that would very much change the sympathy of our effort in Iraq because of the fact that women are treated as property there.\n\nOh and I'm republican.

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.

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.
