Would you vote for a woman president of the United States?  Why?

I would vote for a woman, the right woman.  Women can be just as tough, if not tougher then men.  Women can also balance a budget which seriously  needs to be done.  \n\nI think men don't want a woman for president because they are afraid the right woman would do a better job than mot of the men.

I support Hilary. I'd vote for her if I knew more about politics and I was the right age to vote. We need both candidates to be female to make it even.

Generally ladies are peace loving, accurate, hardworking, determination and concentration on their work...... and godgifted motherly behavioiur.  Therefore, I do support the idea of a woman 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.

Nothing for or against her political views I feel that this country as much as they try to "embrace" all the women/minortiy movments are not ready to have on running the Most Powerful Country. \n\nI feel that Hilary Clinton gender will play a large role in the votes she will receive.  First there will be those women that have been waiting for this opportunity to get a woman into office and once there is one with as much power and political influences this seems like it will be the way to go.  Then there will be those that will NEVER vote for her as she is a woman and even in the 21 century there are still so many gender stereotypes that exist today and those that believe that a woman is just not capable of handling all the responsibilities that will go along with some position ( including president of the United States) \nIn my opinion I feel that a woman president would be great but I don’t feel that a candidates gender should be an important issue voting for President – the person to rule the country.  It is so frustrating seeing all the advancements that this country has accomplished yet we still haven’t had a women president??

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 am a liberal, and I believe that Condoleeza Rice is doing a much better job at the State Department than her predecessor, and would make a fine Republican candidate--much better, much more qualified than our current President.  I also think that Hillary Clinton would make a much better President than our current one, and I would support her for President, no matter who sha ran against, unless the Republican party nominated someone like Mayor Bloomberg or the very respectable Senator Arlen Specter, which will never happen.  But neither Clinton nor Rice holds a candle to other women luminaries out there who have not a chance to be President.\n\nAs for the canard that women do not make good leaders, I think it is one of those moronic, essentialist things that people keep parroting simply because it is the socially acceptable way of expressing sexist prejudice.  In fact, we have very little empirical evidence to evaluate such a claim, and the little evidence we have actually refutes that hypothesis.

I think a candidate should be chosen and a President elected based on his/her integrity and suitability (based on experience, commitment to community development etc) for the job, not gender, race etc.\n\nHaving said that, I personally think it's highly unlikely that we'll see a woman elected to this office in the next few decades. The fact of the matter is that breaking into the good ole boys club is hard enough as it is, without facing gender-biased stereotypes once you get to Capitol Hill.

Both women are intelligent and astute, or they wouldn't be where they are.  Men have led for over 200 years and look where we are.  Why not a woman for President?

Not only NO but H--- NO! I would vote for a woman president though as long as she was qualified. I hope Condi Rice runs!

I would not be opposed to having a woman in office, however I would never vote for someone just because she is a woman.  I think that if she represents my interests well, then great, but if a man opposing her holds more similar views than her, he'd get my vote instead.

i dont like hillary clinton, but i would like to see us have a female president. It would show we are evolving a little bit. Depending on my choices, I may end up voting for her.\n\nOtherwise, I like guilianni - I like McCain (although he seems to have lost his spine) -I like Dean, I like Kerry.\n\nI dont like anyone too far to the left or too far to the right.\n\nMy opinion is - if you following the right or left wing no matter what - you arent thinking for yourself.\n\nIf you find your self in the middle of the road - then you are thinking for yourself.

AS TO WHETHER ONE SHOULD VOTE FOR A FEMALE PRESIDENT OR NOT, MY ANSWER IS YES, IF THE CANDIDATE IS ONE THAT IS GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY.  GENDER IS NOT A QUALIFIER FOR THE PRESIDENCY.  ONE WILL BE A GOOD PRESIDENT BASED ON HIS/HER INTELLIGENCE, CHARACTER AND SKILL AT SURROUNDING HIMSELF/HERSELF WITH SKILLED AND KNOWLEDGABLE ADVISORS WHO ARE ALSO OF GOOD CHARACTER.  NARCISSISTIC POWER WORSHIPERS AND PEOPLE WHO WILFULLY VIOLATE THE LAW FOR PROFIT OR THE AQUISITION OF MONEY AND POWER HAVE NO PLACE IN HIGHER GOVERNMENT OR ANY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT IN MY OPINION.  \n\nSUMMARY:  IF THE PERSON IS A GOOD, DECENT AND INTELLIGENT PERSON, AND YOU FEEL GOOD IN YOUR HEART ABOUT THEM, VOTE FOR THEM.

I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton in any year. It has nothing to do with her being a woman; I just don't like her liberal ideology.

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.

Most other industrialized nations have had or have women in presidential-like roles, so it wouldn't be a big deal. i too think it is time for a woman to be president, but not condeleeza (i'm bush as a woman) rice
