Im not American and am curious if Hillary has a good chance of being the democrat candidate and actually winning the presidency

I would vote for whomever I thought would be the best president, whether that person was a woman, a racial minority, a white man, or anything else.
I truly hope that people view the office of President of the United States in a way that is honoring to the whole country. One should NOT vote for a particular candidate just because they want a woman, a black, a jew, a ...

Hillary Clinton does NOT have a very good chance of winning the presidency, although she could conceivably get the Democratic nomination. Her nomination chances, however, will depend in large part on who else chooses to run. The Democrats have not had a very good track record of nominating the most electable persons lately, so it remains to be seen who the actual candidates will be.
As for her chances of winning the presidency if nominated, I'd say they are fairly slim, but not because she is a woman. I simply don't think enough Americans believe she is qualified for the job. There are also a great number of people who think she is running simply because she is the wife of a former President, and/or because she is a woman (whether these are her true motives or not).
A woman who is willing to present her views on the issues, who is able to defend those views with conviction, and who has the necessary political experience for the job has as much of a chance of winning the presidency as any male does. Hillary, however, is not that woman.

she already is a candidate, she has a good chance of winning the primaries i think.
i am a democrat, but i would have to say if McCain ran for president i would support him, as he seems to be a very moderate republican and would do a good job rebuilding the country after the Bush Administration raped it. although to be fair i haven't looked into Hilliary or Obama into as much detail as i would like to as of yet.
i just wish all Americans actually looked into who they were voting for, because i firmly believe that President Bush would not be in office now if the country did its homework.

Im not going to say who I would vote for but I will say that if Hillary R Clinton loses the election it wont be because she's a woman.

I'd vote for a woman president, but I'd vote on her platform rather than any other factors. Sex and colors may be referred to as barriers for the presidency, but they're not really relevant to what a president will be responsible for.

I could never vote for a woman for president as women are not capable to sit on this position a woman's place is defiantly at home looking after her kids

Unfortunately I believe she will be the next president. I don't trust her or her husband as they are right in with corporate america and the Bush clan. Hillary will win two terms and than watch Jeb Bush get it for another two terms after Hillary.

People shouldn't even bother voting, because all presidents are elected by THIS secret and evil group that's been in control of everything for far too long!...
