I doubt anyone would have the guts to stand against it even if they wanted to... But that is quite an interesting question.

I can't think of ONE woman qualified to hold the office of President.  Come to think of it...there aren't to many men either....\nThis race will be an interesting one!

Yes, I think eventually a woman will become president.  However, I don't think this is going to happen until other countries can take women seriously.  In countries, third world especially, women are less valued than men.  Until those countries value and give equality to women, a female president is unlikely.  Other countries just wouldn't listen to a woman; they may even be offended by it.  \nI think a black president will happen before a woman president personally, the exception of course would be if a black woman was elected like Condi.  I seriously doubt that she'll run though.

I actually think that the possibility exists for a black woman to be the next president of the US.  Condy Rice I feel would make an EXCELLENT president and not just of the NFL which is HER dream job.

Anyone who is an American citizen, and was born in the US, can theoretically be president.\n\nIt'll be a long time before the US is ready to have a minority president.  Maybe not until the minority isn't the minority.

I BELIEVE WE STILL LIVE IN A TIME WHERE WE WILL NOT SEE A WOMAN PRESIDENT AS SAD AS IT IS...BUT EVEN WITH COLIN POWELL'S ACCOMPLISHMENTS OUR COUNTRY WILL NOT VOTE A BLACK MAN IN EITHER.  SAD STATE OUR COUNTRY IS IN.  THEY WILL PROBABLY VOTE A WHITE MAN RIGHT WING REP.  SAD BUT TRUE...AND SINCE IT SEEMS POINTLESS TO VOTE BECAUSE I HONESTLY DON'T BELIEVE GEORGE BUSH EVER WON ANY ELECTION...I GUESS IT WILL BE WHOEVER THE GOVERNMENT DECIDES ON .....

If anyone knew the answer to that, they wouldn't be wasting their time answer questions here.\n\nI can tell you that the next American president, will be a white male, over the age of 35, with no criminal record, a wife and two children with a 98% probability.

The answer to the question I think you were looking for is no, Americans would not vote a black president in no mattter how good he is or what his credentials are.  But then they want to believe they aren't racists.  I guarantee you that Tim McVeigh has a greater chance at being president than ANY black person.  David Duke almost was elected governor, he is a self admitted racists and former Grand Wizard of the KKK.  He has never changed his tune, even while campaining.

I think we are ready for a change! hmmm An African American Female for President!!! A female from the poor side of town!\nI think we should fire everyone in the government and start fresh with voting machines that have a paper trail!Do not allow campaigned contributions,Each person running for office foots their own bill! Give this nation back to the people that support it with their tax dollars! And stay out of other countries business!

It is great despite some blacks calling him an Oreo and Democrats denigrating him on a racist basis. But many blacks are beginning to support him, understanding that we need strong leadership when we are in a world war with Islamic radicals who want to kill every non-Muslim American or rule over us.\n\nHow many blacks in 8 years of the Clinton administration top positions? One, Ron Brown. Democrats preach diversity but all they want is minority group dependency - not actually share in true leadership.

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.

Could happen but Im not sure if the American public is ready as of yet, but you never know, she could pull it off.  Id say she has he greatest chance out of all of becoming the first Woman President.

C. Rice by far!\n\nShe's more intelligent and not known for her mean evilness that Hillary IS and has been talked about by those close to Hillary.\n\nI also think that having the first female AND black u.s. president wouldn't hurt our world image either.\n\nI think the u.s. is ready for such a president... especially one as brilliant as C. Rice.

Hopefully it'll be the most qualified person, no matter what gender or ethnicity they are.\n\nHowever, given America's past, I'd probably bet on a woman before a minority, and that's sad.  Most of America has come around to equality for women and are getting used to seeing them in lots of jobs they couldn't get before...but racism still runs deep, and in some places is severe.  We've a way to go before we overcome that entirely.

personally as long as there is hatred in the world between races, religions, ethnic groups, poverty, environmental break down, his dreams will never be met. a country like ours, meaning the U.S. i assume, is populated with millions of different groups of people, who all want other groups to meet their standards.  yes lack of education does contribute, but keep in mind that graduates of Hardvard, Yale, Princeton, all make up the KKK and Black Panthers and other hate groups, nature vs. nurture, not too sure that really has anything to do with it, but sure, it is possible, money, YESSSSS!  that has a lot to do with it, when i have a $400k house, 4-5 mercedes just in Miami alone and 3 little kids are starving, then yeah, there are going to be problems.  parents, yes, when a 2 year old can say the "N" word to a black person, they didn't hear it on TV, they most likely heard it in their very on household, and WE aren't helping because we contribute, black people don't like the whites and blame them for all the wrong doing and tend to live up to the negative sterotypes created, whites don't like blacks and same thing blame them for so much wrong, jews and muslims, Irish and English, same thing.  i don't think that it will ever be met fully, because of the many many differences and problems that the world as a whole face today.  \n\ni can witness to this because i am black and live in a town where just being darker than a white person will get you pulled over by the cops.  DWB's are the most popular citations in my city.  yes it has came a long way, but still has a long way to go.  yeah, black can vote, go to school, get jobs, etc... but will still be labled as gang bangers, drug dealers, and whores.  hispanics can go to school, buy houses, own business, etc...but will still be labled  as drug smugglers, illegal aliens (even when born in the U.S.), and yes whores.  \n\nThe U.S. is still headed by one race, that has not changed, and probably won't for a long long time.  \n\nMLK's dreams are a work in progress, but sure it will ever be achieved.  the only way they can, is if we all had the same skin color, height, weight, money, house, car, came from the same background, and lived the same life.

I doubt in my lifetime; because the Conservatives have sent America backwards 50 years with their politics. They would never vote for a black President with their NEO_CON base. I say try to run one, and see how non-racial they really are!\n\nI can bet my life they wont even nominate one, and your thoughts on Condi Rice will be answered real soon!
