Will America ever have a female president?

That's debateable. Many people say that if Bill Clinton dies before early 2008, Hillary Clinton will be able to rise to the presidency under the sympathy-factor.\n\nUnder a long term, its inevitable. Who knows how long it will take though.

Condeleesa Rice can run for President and it could be more interesting if the opponent is Hillary Clinton.  Then, the US will have a woman as President for the first time.

I think the first minority president should be a female.  No joke.  Lets show em all!

America is ready for a President of any color or gender.  The question is, will American's vote for such a person?  If the right candidate presents him or her self, I think they can get elected.  Right now, though, nobody appears to be this person.  Jesse Jackson?  Yeah, right.  Way too radical, even for some African Americans.  Condoleeza Rice?  No way - she has too much of Bush's dirt on her hands.  Colin Powell?  A possibility, but he has the Bush problem as well, and besides, he has said he doesn't want to run for political office.  Maybe in 2012 a guy like Barak Obama from Illinois can run and win.  I think its more likely that we will see a female President first, like Hillary Clinton.  She is probably going to be the Democratic nominee in 2008, and the Republicans will be hard pressed to find a competitive candidate after all that Bush has done as President.  The country is tired of Republican policy, and are looking for a change.

The "Women's Rights Movement" only happened less than 50 years ago. 3X later than the first president of the United States. It is going to take a long time for a woman to become president unless a lot of factors happen all at the same time.\n\nWeak competition\nStrong background/very well known\nImpecible track record\nLife in politics\nModerate but tough domestic/foreign policy.\n\nThe only woman in the near future I see even having a CHANCE at the presidency is Hillary Clinton and even that is a long long shot.

Frankly, I don't think this nation has evolved enough to elect a female President. We are still way too provincial. Also, I don't believe religious fundamentalists would support a woman as President...\n\nMyself, I'd vote for one, but none of the current crop. I would have voted for Rice, but now I don't trust her.

you should ask women. Since the late 60's, more voters have been women then men. So if there hasn't been a female president yet, it's the women that made it so.

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.

Ever heard "Ready or not, here I come."? Every American woman should vote for a woman and so challenge America to be ready, because she is here! Some men presidents have been so bad, no woman can be worse.

Forunately we live in a nation where we don't have to pick either/or. . .we can have both.  Hillary for President, Barrack for Vice President or Barrack for President & Hillary for VP.  It would be nice to have a female president though.

I think America might be ready, but, since the president is the face of the nation, the rest of the world would have to be ready too.  I don´t like the idea of Mrs. Clinton or Mrs. Bush becoming presidents.  I think the fact that their husbands were already presidents would make them look as if they used their "connections" to get there.  I think it would be better if a woman became president as a result of her work.

from my point of view we have understimated the value of women in the society, many times had been seen that women do better in certain things that are supouse to be done by a man, i think she will make a terrific president, much better than the ass right now, i encourage people to think...not to act as macho without a brain..

but iamgirl, what if the female president was so craptacular that we never got a good one elected because more people became biased against the ability of a woman to hold that position? i'd rather wait for a good one, but if it were two candidates who were about equal, i would vote for the woman instead. unless both candidates were absolutely awful, then i would want to man so women didnt get more misrepresnted.

Possibly (I am 31), but she will have to prove to everyone that she is not ruled by just her emotions.  If I don't see one, I think my daughter will (age 11).  I also think that the first woman president will be due to a situation like on the TV show - the VP taking over for a dead President.  America would go for a woman VP before a woman President.

Ann Coulter scares me a little bit.\n\nI don't think America's ready for a female presidential candidate UNLESS both of the nominees (speaking Dems/Reps) were women. I think it would be a wise move to have a female VP with a stronger candidate for presidential. Personally, Obama/Clinton would be one of the better combos, although Clinton will divide the US more than any other female Democratic candidate I think. Which is a shame, because I like her.

I pray that one day there is a female president.  I also pray that she is an independent.  With this type of president many of Americas problems will be fixed.
