anyone other than Bush, wait i mean cheyney, who is REALLY running our country. maybe HIlary clinton. she seems responsible enough and won't go off bombing other countries, but still be agressive.

Best = tie between Abraham Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt\nWorse = George W. Bush; without fail and or reservations.

If there were a black person who was qualified for the job.  Right now there doesn't seem to be. (If you aren't qualified you need connections like Bush) \n\n Many Americans would've voted for Colin Powell had he run way back then.\n\n I think if there were to be a black president though he would have to be a republican.  I don't see a black democrat making it.  \n\n On top of that, the odds of them getting killed while in office will be higher then for other presidents.  \n\nThere will probably be a Hispanic president before there is a black president, and a minority president before there is a woman.  \n\nI don't think it really matters who is in office at this point, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, male, female I don't see any real change coming anytime soon.  \n\nI'd personally like to see a Native American president.  \nIf we are going to elect anyone based on race, that to me would seem the most correct.

I think that Obama is very smart, atractive and has caused enough of a stir to make him a viable candidate. He might have a tough time getting the nomination against Hillary Clinton due to her money raising ability.  I also like Joe Biden the senior senator from Deleware. He has a vast experience in foreign relations which is something we need at this time.

No, neither of the major parties has nominated a black american for presidency. Some have run, but did not win the nomination. A couple of third parties have run some a few times, but they haven't factored into the elections.

Harold Ford..\nI think pretty much any democrat should be able to take the White House, unless they rig it again or if John Mccain can get past the Republican thrashing he will recieve to win the GOP nomination. Personally right now I would like to see Mccain become the president. I think it would be best for the country to have a president who is not a divider, I don't see the Dem's attacking him too much on "real" issues like the economy and foreign relations. It's nice to see a Republican that has a brain and can think for himself..

I'd gladly vote for Hillary, or perhaps even Barack Obama, who is also considering running for the Democrats. I've always been frustrated with the fact that as huge and diverse a country this is, it's primarily been a choice between two, middle-aged or higher, Christian, white men for President. It's time to bring some diversity to the Presidential race.

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.

qualifications maybe??\n\nIt's not that anyone should want a man or a woman as a president, we want the best candidate to be president, ... period.

Oliver North would be a nice pick.  He's got military and foreign affairs experience, and is a natural leader who would be able to keep America on track.

I think the US is ready for a no bullshit president.  One like Truman or many others like him who go off the principle that they are there to make the country(our country) a better place.  Whether it's male, female, black, white, or brown my vote will go to the person who comes out and says listen I know this may not be the most popular idea but here's what I'm thinking and why it'll work.(if it makes sense)  So is the us ready for a female president?  I think the us is ready for a tough american president.  What that person has between their legs or on their chest doesn't matter.

Prominent names being mentioned include Arizona Senator John McCain, New York Senator Hillary Clinton, former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani, Tennessee Senator Bill Frist, Florida Governor Jeb Bush, and Kansas Senator Sam Brownback. From that list, I'd probably want Brownback or Frist.

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.

We need a President that won't bullsh*t, mislead, or disregard the constitutional rights of the people.  Is doesn't matter what sex or race or religion they happen to be.  I can't think of any good candidates to suggest - male or female but I added a link that might help settle the debate between your Uncles. It is the website of THE CENTER FOR AMERICAN WOMEN AND POLITICS.

I approve of candidates who show a willingness to engage in dialogue with political opponents.  I like candidates who reject bigotry, who surround themselves with thoughtful, pragmatic individuals, and who defer to the expertise of others when it is appropriate.  I think "decisiveness" and obstinacy are overrated, and I disapprove of extreme secrecy.\n\nI would certainly vote for a non-white or a woman president.  People who a priori wouldn't do so strike me as profoundly stupid.
