Well if you're talking about any country in the world, then the British Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher was one of the first. Also, the current Prime Minister of New Zealand is Helen Clark, so it's not that unheard of for women to be heads of state. I feel that a woman will be president in this country before we know it. I'm not necessarily saying it will be Hilary Clinton, but following in the rest of the world's footsteps, it does not seem unlikely that it will happen here.
