Female President?

[Vallian88]

I know this site is comprised of both the UK and the US, but seeing as how an American president affects the whole world, I'm curious about how most people feel about having a female president. Everyday we get closer and closer to the next election, and it appears Hillary Clinton could be the Democrats major contender. I will annoce to the world that I consider myself a democrat. By the time 2008 rolls around, I'll be 19, and I think if she were on the ballot, I might just vote for her. I have not researched enough about her political views to make a definate decision, but Im just curious about people's views on the fact that she's a woman.

Is it time for the US to give up the tradition of a white-male-millionare-senator/governer and go for white-female-millionare-senator/governer? Do you think PMS/Menopause could throw the White House into chaos? (She is rather old, so I dont know if she would have to deal with that anymore). Does sexism still exist to the extent to deny a woman to be "the most powerful man in the world"?

Breaking the tradition could be just one step to having a minority, homosexual, middle-class, etc. person become president. Does this bother anyone?

A woman would be equal as good, maybe even better ... I don't think this has to do with gender, more about the person him/herself

I want to see a black U.S President, now that would be an evolution to start with.

He could be the man like in 24.

Oprah for president!

Hilary Clinton would be a big mistake... anyone else but her.

I think before a woman president, there will be a black, male president... Why, I couldn't tell you.

I don't see a problem with a female president
but not Hilary. She's shown how much of a fundie she is

Oprah for president!

That's ridiculous

I dont mean to talk just about Mrs. Clinton, just women in general. I get the feeling this website is fairly liberal, so perhaps it's the wrong place to ask.

Too soon. People in america are sexist, and they still have many flaws. A woman president will not happen any time soon.

It doesnt matter whos president as long as they do a good job and make the country a better place.

Or the guy in head of state. :O!
I'd sooner have a black man as a president than a woman. I think a black person could really care about the people, and deal with situations in a more I don't know, head on type manner. Not going, well let's discuss this issue while people are dying... I think a woman president would think a bit to much with her emotions, and that could cost us.

Seriously though, what everyone is saying is right, gender/race/colour etc are NOT issues here, what the person does whilst in power is the issue.

Hmm...there really should be a woman as U.S. President. Its pretty stange that a country like Chile has a woman as president and that the US are still not getting to that point.

I dont forsee a woman president in the USA anytime soon, not that a woman couldnt handle the job, I think alot of woman could go against the grain of conventional US governmental policy, but that the PNAC is a strong force in the United States and it appears that they have alot of corporate support and therefore can severly influence the outcome of the next election..if a woman running for president supports the PNAC's plan for American Global Domiance then she could be a real contender.

Potentially, women have a lot to give a presidential role. However, like a few people have said, its not going to happen any time soon. Too many damn sexist hick rednecks. As for Hilary Clinton, who do you think is trying to ban violent computer games?
