Obama has the best chance to win.\nHe is slightly liberal and doesn't conjure up strong negative emotions from people.\n\nClinton is moderate and even leans right on some issues.\nThe right wing hates her and liberals love her. She would motivate the jihad Christians to vote against her.

the problem with elections is that people would vote for a woman, just because she is a woman- and as far as the comment about men and authority- its true according to the Bible, if you do not believe in God, I can understand why you would say it is BS.\n\nWe need to stop worrying about gender and race when we elect or hire people for jobs, because it is about the job, not the person- if a woman is most qualified, she should be president, but the reason our country is always so messed up politically, is because people vote with bias- women wanna vote for a woman just because they are women- minorities wanna vote for minorities because they are minorities- women and minorities will try to combat by saying I, being a white man, would vote for a white man because I am a white man- but the truth is this- I always educate myself on the policies, and agendas of the people running for office- I vote for who I think is the most honest and respectable- I dont care what race or gender they are- if I think they are best for the job, I vote for them.  The President is NOT black, white, brown, man, or woman- the presidency is a job and it shouldnt be thought of as a descriminitive, or exclusive position.  As long as Hillary runs on the slander and propaganda she is running on, she is NOT qualified for the job in my eyes- I used to think she would make a good president before she sold out to the ways of her party.  We need a "stand-up" and honorable person in office.  Also, a big reason why a woman will have a harder time is because most countries will not respect her as our leader because they dont offer the same freedoms to women- before a woman gets the full support of the government, the rest of the world will have to change too- all of you that hate the Iraq war and George Bush, should be thankful because what he is doing, will someday help that change the world needs for a woman to be president and respected!

IMHO, it is not the candidates, age, sex, status, party affiliation, religion or anything else but where they PERSONALY stand on some certain key issues that I am interested in. If they are the candidate that most closely matches my beliefs/issue, then they get my vote.

If you mean _American_ president, I really hope it's an African American woman, somebody non-Caucasian, non-male, non-whatever-previous-presidents-have-been, because it's time to drastically change, wake up the small-minded people, and have a brand new view on how to rule this country!

I like women that are smart, confident and secure with their sexuality. Its one thing to stand up for equal treatment and equal rights its completely another to go "Butch" over it. There is nothing more unattractive than a women with a big mouth blaming her failures on men. Its unfortunate that the women's movement is dominated by man haters and abortion fanatics describing themselves as feminist revolutionaries struggling for basic human rights for women.

Anyone who is natural born and age 35 and over is more than welcome to run.  We cant elected them if they dont run.  Its also important to see what there views are on the issues.  If a ultra-liberal black woman was running fro office anf lost you cant assume its because she was a woman or black.  (just an example)

probably the basketball player.  The girl that thinks she can become prez will probably realize that she wants to be indipendent and leave her friends and boyfriends to further her career.  She will be a politician, and i wouldn't really make friends with any of them.  They will completely sell you out as a friend.  The basketball player will be in shape and there's nothing wrong with a lifelong dream even if it probably won't happen.  Plus basketball is fun!

Hillary.....she is strong, savvy, politically astute, very intelligent, has experience in a political climate dominated by men...yet holds her own.  Her political agenda (platform) gets high marks for issues that concern the average American.  Has international diplomacy experience AND skills!  She is fair and socially conscience of peoples needs, what affects US.

My Mom, she would whip this country into shape. : )  She did a good job with four kids as a single Mother.  She knows right from wrong and just imagine how she had to make a budget work. \n\nI'd definitely vote for my Mom. : )

I think the American people are ready for a woman president. I wouldn't VOTE for Hiliary Clinton but I would vote for Condelezza Rice. I think she would make a great president. She would also make a milstone for the United States becasue she would be the first woman president and the first african american president. I hope she runs for office.

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.

im also for condi rice and mrs clinton going head to head-it may bring out the electorate more-with 2 women candidates.. i personally vote for rice, and i can see she ticks many boxes in the types of ppl she appeals to. of course to paraphrase sum1 to tik all the boxes she would have to be 'a gay disabled lone mother from a poor neighborhood and to have risen through the ranks'

Here is some information for you...\n\n \nBetty Shabazz\n(1936-1997)\nActivist, Nurse, Health services administrator, Educator\nWhen Betty Shabazz married the dynamic civil rights leader Malcolm X, she could not anticipate the extent of her husband's fame or the course that their lives would take. Shabazz was catapulted into the American consciousness and the media spotlight following her husband's assassination in 1965 by three members of the Nation of Islam. Formerly an esteemed leader of the Nation, Malcolm broke with the black nationalist organization in 1963, after revising his separatist ideals and embracing a new philosophy of global unity. His young widow, pregnant with twin daughters at the time of his murder, was left to raise themóand their four sistersóby herself. In the ensuing years, Shabazz avoided publicity when she could, opting instead to provide a quiet, normal home life and full education for her children.  \nBetty was an adopted child who grew up in a fairly sheltered, middle-class household in Detroit, Michigan. She went to the local Methodist church with her parents on Sundays, parties on some Saturday nights with church friends, and movies on Fridays. While attending Northern High School, she joined the Del Sprites, a sorority affiliate. After high school graduation, she attended Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and encountered her first racial hostilities, which she didn't understand, and her parents refused to acknowledge. "They thought [the problems] were my fault," she later wrote in an autobiographical portrait printed in Essence magazine. After two years in Alabama, she moved to New York City to attend nursing school at Brooklyn State Hospital.  \n\nWhile at school in New York, a friend invited her to hear Malcolm X speak at an Islamic temple. When this friend said she'd arrange for them to be introduced after his speech, Betty's initial reaction was "big deal," she related in Essence in 1992. "But then," she continued, "I looked over and saw this man on the extreme right aisle sort of galloping to the podium. He was tall, he was thin, and the way he was galloping it looked as though he was going someplace much more important than the podium.... Well, he got to the podiumóand I sat up straight. I was impressed with him." They were introduced later, and she became even more impressed. They talked about the racism she encountered in Alabama, and she began to understand its causes, pervasiveness, and effects. Soon, Betty was attending all of Malcolm's lectures. By the time she graduated from nursing school in 1958, she was a member of the Nation of Islam.  \n\nBetty Shabazz explained in Essence, "I never 'dated' Malcolm as we think of it because at the time single men and women in the Muslims did not 'fraternize' as they called it. Men and women always went out in groups." In addition, Malcolm was busy with a relentless schedule of speaking engagements for the Nation of Islam. Nevertheless, their connection grew strong. Soon after she finished nursing school, Malcolm, who was traveling the country at the time, called her from Detroit and proposed. Before the week was out, they were married.  \n\nThe marriage did not last as long as either had hoped. On February 21, 1965, while speaking at the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem, he was gunned down. Shabazz had brought their four daughters to hear him speak that day. As the first of the 16 bullets that tore into Malcolm's body rang out, she threw her children down and covered them with her own body. After the shots, Shabazz tried to get to Malcolm, but someone held her back. When she finally did reach him, he was dead, and she wondered if she would survive herself.  \n\nRecovering from Tragedy\nFor three weeks, Shabazz did not sleep. She kept seeing her husband's body fall. "I really don't know where I'd be today if I had not gone to Mecca to make Haj

To me....this is not a question of a woman running.....Senator Clinton is the best candidate  for the Presidency of the US....just look at the would be Rep candidates and the other Dem candidates...they pale in comparison to her....I hope she does run and wins.....

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.
