I would like to say yes, but realistically I do not believe that the US is ready for a woman president. Unlike the UK who had an unbelievably great first lady in Margret Thacher (sorry if I spelled wrong) many years ago I don't think enough people would get out and vote for her when push comes to shove. Most Americans still see the Presidency as a male oriented job.

Having said that I don't believe that there is any other woman more qualified for the job as president. Mrs. Clinton has been in the White House and is more than familiar with the job of President. I also believe that her husband would be supportive but not interfering in her Presidency should she win. I think it would send a message of strength and conviction to the rest of the world if she did get elected....She also doesn't have any appearance of conflict of interest like the current administration does with the oil companies.

I think the next election will be hard on both parties and the candidates will have to really speak to the regular Americans that live within the $0 to $100,000 a year tax bracket.

No..because she won't get all of the Democratic vote. It will be great to see a woman run though. If you think about it, when Bill was in office everyone complained that Hillary was too much a part of the decision making process and involved to much in general. I think she definitely knows what it takes to run the country but i do not believe that all the democrats are on board with Hillary. I don't think it's really an issue of her being a woman either..i think it's her as an individual...her policies and of course the "taint" of her past with Bill as president and the whole scandal. I just don't think we are ready to put her up in front of the rest of the world in a time like this especially..which is kind of ironic maybe because how much strength, intelligence and dignity did it take for her to get through all that and end up where she is?

Isn't it interesting, in many arenas of life, feminists would have us believe that there are no differences between the sexes when it comes to ability to do the job. However, when it suits, particularly regarding public office or when a representative element is involved, suddenly, it has to be a woman. Isn't this a contradiction that proves that there are innate differences between the sexes. But these are only referred to when it suits the argument. Respondents, who would vote for a female President, simply because it is a woman, rather than vote objectively on the basis of their perceived ability, and more importantly, the party and the policies that they represent, are sadly misguided feminists. Running a country is too serious for feminist politics.

No.

It would be a major mistake if she was chosen as the Democratic nominee for president in 2008. She is far too polarizing a figure, and if she ran against a Republican who could reach out to both sides of the aisle, like John McCain, she would not stand a snowball's chance in the metaphorical hot place.

I would pick a president on their issues not gender, and I definitely would NOT pick Hillary Clinton.

Never because they have done studies and 51.9 percent say that they wouldn't vote for Hillary no matter what.

Well you can't run with the majority against you.

As long as she dosent turn out to be another Margret Thatcher, that would be a disaster for the American people.

Possibly. But she'll be your President on merit alone. The fact that she's female is incidental. Many countries have female heads of state.

It's very unlikely. Clinton has zero cross-party appeal, which would make her a very divisive candidate.
