It could be either, but my guess is a woman.  A Clinton/Obama ticket is not out of the question.  They'd have to put Hillary in as President and Obama as VP, simply because of his lack of practical experience in national politics.  2008 is going to be a very interesting year!

NONE!! I wont vote for a woman, its a mans job and should remain so. Woman tend to be emotional unstable and vindictive and i don't want that little red button to be pushed because some country made her mad on that special day.

I think we will have a caucasian female for president way before we have a non-caucasian male.  Lots of people are not racist (or not very racist), but way more than you may think, are.

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.

Gender wouldn't be a factor for me.  I would vote for the most qualified candidate regardless of gender.  I would never vote Hillary Clinton for president because she and I are at opposite ends of the political spectrum.  I could see voting for Condoleeza Rice because she is experienced, articulate and well qualified.

Yeah, I'm in, kind of... but everybody seems to be worried about Hillary. Why worry about her? If the first two men in line for president fail, guess what? Nancy Pelosi gets to be president. She is more likely to get there than Hillary.

I would.  Oprah is the only African American and the only woman who would have an honest shot of winning.  More importantly she is the only person who could win the White House running as an independent.  IMHO this is what we need in the big chair someone who will not have to follow their party's line.  A person who would put America and Americans first not the Democratic or Republican party and not some interest group or lobby.

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.

HILLARY CLINTON!!!! Its about time a woman came to office! Bill Clinton will have the liberty of being the first "First Gentelman" or somethin like that.\nOr, any woman...men just dont do it right. example: our current president

definately the Jew, i don't think this country is going to have a minority leader for awhile, although they really aren't a minority, the probability is highly unlikely, atleast not in this next election anyways.

I pray that one day there is a female president.  I also pray that she is an independent.  With this type of president many of Americas problems will be fixed.

If she's qualified to run the country I'll vote for her, I don;'t have a problem with a woman president or a minority president, I do however have a problem with underqualified candidates. Hillary is underqualified to be a senator, and certainly underqualified to be president, one clinton in office was enough, we don't need 2, look what 2 bush's in office has done.

I think a woman will be first, I think that Hillary Clinton would be an excellant choice. She has all the attributes, she is smart and in touch with the people, it will be a hard road as the repuglicans hate her so much but I think she can overcome that as more and more repuglican politics is being exposed for what it is, Corrupt.

Yes, I honestly do believe there will be a woman president.  Not because she's a woman though, and not because she may or may not be riding on the coattails of her husband the former president.  It's really inevitable.  And the people that reference countries like England, it doesn't really compare, 1. because they're used to a ruling woman with the monarchy and 2. we're a relatively young country compared to European ones.  Not that that's an excuse, but the country obviously hasn't been ready for it!  Also, no women have stepped up to run!  The closest we've gotten was Geraldine Ferraro, and she was running with that imbecile Mondale!  I hope people don't vote for a woman just because she's a woman and I hope that a "block" as one answerer mentioned does not result in an election of a specific type of individual.  A woman will win when she has the principles and values that the majority of Americans will vote for and she actually RUNS for President!!  PS - I am a woman, and would like to see it, but I wont vote for one just because of that!
