While this question gets asked a lot it will always be moot until women start voting. I have students ask me all the time why we have always had white, male presidents. They incorrectly surmise it is some sort of racist plot ro some such nonsense. The answer is much more simple--it is because white, males get out and vote the most. Women vote in shockingly low numbers, blacks, and hispanics even lower.
That has to be one of the great comical ironies of our times. Politicians are scared to death to alienate blacks and hispanics in the voting booth, yet the impact blacks and hispanics have on national elections is virtually nil. They like to THINK they carry great weight, but statistics show one thing: women, blacks, and hispanics don't get out and vote. So until they do we better get used to white, males being president year after year after year...

Relistically, probably Hillary Clinton. she has already said that she wants to run for president in the next election and She has the knowledge and ecperience needed for the job. I think that She would do a great job. She is a great political figure. In my personal opinion, she is going to be a better president than Oprah for the simple fact that Oprah does not have as much knowledge of the political world as Mrs. Clinton.

None. America is ready for a woman president, as long as she is perfect. Being a woman will be enough of a strike that she won't be able to have any other opinions or views that anyone would disagree with. Hilary would be a great president, but it will not happen because she is too loved/hated by the public, there is no happy medium. Now, if those women could just be men, any of them would do.

ANY current governor of the US would be qualified, and far more so than your list.
Try not to confuse popularity with pragmatism and leadership qualities.
These are the current female governors, although I believe that governor jennifer Granholm is disqualified due to being born in Canada. (That is another issue)
AZ Janet Napolitano (D)
CT M. Jodi Rell (R)
DE Ruth Ann Minner (D)
HI Linda Lingle (R)
KS Kathleen Sebelius (D)

WA Christine Gregoire (D)

Hillary and CR are the most likely. I doubt Oprah would want the job.

1. no freaking way
2. GOD NO< PULLLLEASE
3. 'scuse me, I just barfed.
if those are the only choices, I say let GW run again and I think GW screwed us big time.
