I don't think it is a question of being a man or a woman.\nIts the knowledge and experience in situations that would make a good president.  Personality, Charisma, Handling the Press --\nIsn't that really what a president is?  Just a figurehead?

No. I'm NOT impressed with her. I would love to see a woman president, just not her. I believe that she would screw things up for women trying for the presidency for a very long time. She should NOT be our first female president.

presidential qualifications  should never be based on whether you are a man or a woman ( and i'm not saying this just because i'm female) but it seems that in the u.s. there is too much of a divide, between pro-gun culture and anti, pro-war and anti, pro-racism and anti, among others, that if the majority of voters are in the pro sections, there will not be a female president there for a long time. \n\nunfortunately it seems as if the divide is always going to be split over violence, and if people want a certain amount of violence, be it war or gun-control or whatever, then women are going to be seen as a species who will try to quash that belief and "right".

I think there is many females that are extreamly qualified to be president. SEN Hilliary Clinton for one, Hey lets kill two birds with one stone and Elect madam Secretary Conny Rice.

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!

Absolutely, not only it is possible but very likely.Be ready  for the next election process where Sen. Hillary Rodhman Clinton may be facing Condolece Rice. A little more than half the population are women.

Hey! I vote!!\n\nYes, I would very much like to see a female president. I couldn't say who I'd put up for the job at the moment, though. I don't know many people's voting record, ect at the moment. As far as I'm concerned, as long as we get someone capable and competant in the position, I'll be happy.

I don't know who the repuglican will be, it really don't matter to me as I will never vote to shoot myself in the foot. But on the democrat side I think Hillary has a chance to be the first woman candidate, and even more possible that she might be the first woman president. She is a strong, intelligent lady that will stand up for what is right. She would have one of the best advisers in the world in her husband, the last legally elected president and the most popular and successful.

Nothing for or against her political views I feel that this country as much as they try to "embrace" all the women/minortiy movments are not ready to have on running the Most Powerful Country. \n\nI feel that Hilary Clinton gender will play a large role in the votes she will receive.  First there will be those women that have been waiting for this opportunity to get a woman into office and once there is one with as much power and political influences this seems like it will be the way to go.  Then there will be those that will NEVER vote for her as she is a woman and even in the 21 century there are still so many gender stereotypes that exist today and those that believe that a woman is just not capable of handling all the responsibilities that will go along with some position ( including president of the United States) \nIn my opinion I feel that a woman president would be great but I don’t feel that a candidates gender should be an important issue voting for President – the person to rule the country.  It is so frustrating seeing all the advancements that this country has accomplished yet we still haven’t had a women president??

I would love to see a female president in the US, but I doubt this will happen for quite some time yet--certainly not in the next decade or two.  There're just too many pseudo-macho male types that would sooner chop of their--uh, inflated egos--then vote for a woman.  You just gotta give it time.  I myself am a newer upgrade of male--got enough self-esteem to circumvent that age-old "man's fear of woman" syndrome.  FYI, most men subconsciously fear women because they are in fact the superior model of human evolution now--replacing the male version which was more important when we had to fend off wild boars and such.  Technical evolution has created a higher human need for intelligence rather than strength.  Most men still favor the strength side which is why we have all of these dumb ar*e wars and regional conflicts--no where is this more evident than in the Middle East where women are treated little better than cattle.  All signs point to an evolution where men are no longer necessary but for one thing--ironically, this is the same philosphy men have applied towards women since the beginning of time.

I think a candidate should be chosen and a President elected based on his/her integrity and suitability (based on experience, commitment to community development etc) for the job, not gender, race etc.\n\nHaving said that, I personally think it's highly unlikely that we'll see a woman elected to this office in the next few decades. The fact of the matter is that breaking into the good ole boys club is hard enough as it is, without facing gender-biased stereotypes once you get to Capitol Hill.

This country is in no way ready for a woman president, and even if we were, the countries we deal with will probably never be. Look, if we have a woman president how will we ever get those sandy, archaic, third world countries to take us seriously, they don't even let their women show any skin, let alone make any decisions about anything important. If we had that loud mouth Hillary Clinton for president of our country, or any other woman for that matter, we would be the laughing stock of the entire world.

Having attended a college made up exclusivly of women I've had an up close look at issues I really never thought to be issues.  This is almost one.  Yes, there will people who will vote for Hillary just becasue she is a woman.  Yes, there will be people who vote against her becasue she's a woman.  Other then that, I don't really think it matters what hangs between the legs of our president, if anything.  It just matters if they are the best person for the job.  But to answer the question.  I feel it might happen and soon, just not yet.  This country needs to drag itself out of the 1940's and realize that anyone can do any job as long as they are qualified.

I think it will be a women president first  When we have black president she'll likely be a women. I think we're in for alot of women presidents.
