Correta Scott King continued to impact the work her husband started.

My opinion: Abe Lincoln. He helped to keep a divided nation together under some of the most adverse conditions and situations that any president has ever had to contend with- and not only on a national level but on a personal level as well. All that while having to sleep in an awkward angular position in a too-small bed, with a crazy woman by his side and Monica Lewinsky nowhere in sight! A true American hero if you ask me. :)

Are you talking about Elihu Yale?  If so, yes, I realize the influence he has on American politics today.

Hillary. We need a strong woman

No.  She is way too liberal even for mainstream Democrats and she is really ignorant about what is actually going on in the world.  Celebrities usually don't make good politicians because they live in sheltered little celebrity lives where they are surrounded by yes men.  They really don't have a clue about the general population.  A big exception to this was Ronald Reagan.  He was a great president and a mediocre actor!

I'd go with Hillary.  Men have been running the country from the beginning.  It's about time we see what girl power can do.

Hillary Clinton for many reasons, she is intelligent and centered which is extremely important now. Our Political System and our Nation have been Divided not United under George W. Bush.

I vote Oprah! She is a wonderful role model for African Americans. Heck, she is a wonderful role model for anyone!

I'd have to say Condi Rice- and that's coming from a Democrat. Why ? Because she strikes me as someone who would make a bigger issue of lowering Gasoline prices than censoring video games ! Hilary is good at bulldozering on small issues; Condi is more broadly educated, and has, I think, a better business savy, which would help in dealing with economic issues.

I would DEFINATELY vote for her - Bill Clinton did a great job and she helped an awful lot behind the scenes - would be good to see a woman in power , the US could do with some feminine touches after what the current moron is doing.

Nope.  Unfortunately, that is what she is famous for (not counting her last name and the gobs of money)!

Billy Jean King was my answer. It's a dang good one. I'd definitely use her as an example. It was a very prominent issue at the time. Maybe Elton John.

I'm not sure I was heavily influenced by a president, but I'd have to go with George (the 1st).\n\nThat cherry tree story really affected me in kindergarten.

No we don't miss her.\n\nRemember the Poll Tax... need I say more

Eleanor Roosevelt. She was intelligent and she would have been a good president herself, too.

There are quite a few outspoken capable women in the US who could run for office...\n\nCondaleeza Rice is great..Nancy Pelosi is also great...I understand why someone would want to nominate Oprah...or Bette Midler...\n\nWhen looking at history from a statistical point of view, the women who have been in power have more often than not been more diplomatic, circumspect and peaceable...\n\nGolda Meir is one of my favorites...
