Do you think we will ever have a female president?

I think we will someday and it will be a big mistake.\nNot because she is women, but because other countries will think we are weak and try and take advantage of us.\noh and Hillary Clinton sucks. but I like Condolisa Rice, She may do well.

Though I would love to see Hillary become president, I think you're right.  There are too many people right now that are not ready for a woman in office.  I think the only chance she could have to win the presidency would be if she chose Bill as her vice president.  I think that as vice president she could show her ability to govern this country and then perhaps in the future America would better accept her as commander in chief.  I personally like Wesley Clark, and think he and Hillary could achieve great things together.

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.

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.

Yes i would, it's about time, we had some really smart lady in charge. \nFor one on the most advanced nations on earth, we are one of the few democracies that have never had a woman leader.\nMaybe the time has come at last.

I believe most people are ready for a woman in the White House.  More than that, though, we need a real leader who will bring us together.  We have a lot of issues out there right now that split us right down the middle at 50/50.  Worst of all, there is NO ONE out there, man or woman, who is really saying what is on peoples' minds.\n\nI would like to think that we could have a sensible president who would be a national and world leader, and that the sensibility would lead to less war and what not.  Problem is that there are lots of people out there (inside and outside America) who want a fight right now, and you won't get them to listen and follow any system because the system has screwed them over too many times.  This leads to an ineffective government, and infighting--which is exactly what we see in this world today.\n\nJust voting for some woman won't solve anything.  But I am certain there is a woman out there who could do the job if she wanted it.

Answering as a political scientist, I have to say not in the near future with given voting trends.  Women may have the majority in voting, but they do not vote for other women typically.  Be it that they do not trust their own gender or another reason, women do not vote for women.  Men apparently are not as biased as women and will vote either way, but I do not see a real female candidate currently.  Clinton has too much baggage and Rice isn't that well known enough yet.

Yes. You will see a woman President in your lifetime.\n\nIt is folly to think otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a choice next time round - Rice or Clinton - take your pick. Can you see any republican better qualified than Rice? She has incredible influence and pwer and knows the Whitehouse like the back of her hand. Can you think of a better known Democrat than Hilary? and she CERTAINLY knows the whitehouse. She lived there for several years.\n\nIn the UK we had Maggie Thatcher. The Germans have a woman. Even the Catholics in Ireland have had a woman, India has had a woman and now Liberia!!!\n\nI know America is backward - heck - it took you years to give up slavery after the rest of the world - but you'll catch up quick! :)

I think "isn't it time...?" may be the wrong approach.  I do not believe we should specifically seek to elect a 'the first woman President' or 'the first African-American President' or an other such 'first' just to do so.  These sorts of things will likely happen in time, but not just to do them!\n\nCompare how Margaret Thatcher became the first female Prime Minister in Britain.  It was not BECAUSE of her gender!  She simply was very good at what she did and rose to prominence in her party the same way anyone else would. (The same is the case for the first elected female leaders of other states, e.g., Israel and India.)\n\nI am hopeful that is how it will happen in the U.S. as well. \nI happen to agree with you about Hillary Clinton -- I am opposed to her, but it has nothing to do with her being a woman. (And I think it would be just as unfortunate for people to vote FOR a Presidential candidate of ANY party just because she's a woman, as it is to vote AGAINST the person for that reason.)

After reading some of these answers, I think the answer is clear.  Because too many WOMEN think there should not be a woman president.\n\nHonestly, I'm shocked, I believe in equality of the sexes, that women and men can do things equally and can hold the same job or achieve the same results.  I'd vote for a woman president based on 1 thing, whether I feel she can do the job or not, not based on whether the candidate has a penis or breasts.\n\nI think this just goes to show you that people have lost the ability to think freely nowadays.  A woman president is not going to start war every month, she is not going to be any more emotional than a man when it comes down to business, and actually, women tend to be able to sell and be more diplomatic which could lend a hand to foreign relations.  The ountry is not too young for it either.  People need to see that you can either make excuses or get something done and saying things like the examples above is making excuses.  Of course it won't happen while everyone believes it won't, and of course it would happen if people could even open up to the possibility.

I'm with you---Hillary would no doubt make  a fine President. It takes a woman to do it right and I think that she would be a breath of fresh air for the whole country.

HILLARY CLINTON!!!! Its about time a woman came to office! Bill Clinton will have the liberty of being the first "First Gentelman" or somethin like that.\nOr, any woman...men just dont do it right. example: our current president

I'd love to see her as the first female president of the US.  Bill Clinton, I think was one of the best leaders in the world, so it would be great to see his legacy continue through his wife.

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.

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.

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.

Not only NO but H--- NO! I would vote for a woman president though as long as she was qualified. I hope Condi Rice runs!
