why not?one of the greatest leaders in history was Elizabeth I of england.joan of arc was a 17 yr old girl when she led an army and drove the english from france.Indira Ghandi,Margaret Thatcher,Golda Meir.leadership is not the exclusivity of the male gender.

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

Yes i would, it's about time, we had some really smart lady in charge. \nFor one on the most advanced nations on earth, we are one of the few democracies that have never had a woman leader.\nMaybe the time has come at last.

A female president would probably be very good for the country. Unfortunately it probably won't happen due to the way of diplomatic relations. In America, women are treated as equals to men, (for the most part) but in many foreign countries, woman are not seen this way. They won't respect a woman as they would a man. Sad But True.

I'd love to see her as the first female president of the US.  Bill Clinton, I think was one of the best leaders in the world, so it would be great to see his legacy continue through his wife.

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.

Forunately we live in a nation where we don't have to pick either/or. . .we can have both.  Hillary for President, Barrack for Vice President or Barrack for President & Hillary for VP.  It would be nice to have a female president though.

Yes there will be a black president as well as a woman US president. It just won't be anytime soon.\nIn fact, there might be a hispanic US president before a black president.

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.

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 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

not officially, but elenor roosevelt did make presidential decisions for about a month during which FDR was really ill..so in a way, eleanor was a president.\nMany feel that a woman is not capable of holding this office but I am sure that we will see a female president within our life time. if not Clinton then someone else. The tables are turning.

Yes, the right woman who can be a leader and take the abuse of being president...no, I do not believe HC can become president, she has too much baggage

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 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.

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

Possibly (I am 31), but she will have to prove to everyone that she is not ruled by just her emotions.  If I don't see one, I think my daughter will (age 11).  I also think that the first woman president will be due to a situation like on the TV show - the VP taking over for a dead President.  America would go for a woman VP before a woman President.
