I sincerely hope not.
It would not just be a disservice to the country, it would be a tremendous disservice to the cause of feminism.
The first woman president should be a real role model, an inspiration. I am afraid that Ms Clinton will simply continue the embarrassing level of political mediocrity and cowardice displayed by too many in the Democratic party of late, including and perhaps most especially her husband.
We've a CLinton in the White House. Surely the Democrats can do better than that?

I hope not.
I would rather the Democrats run a female candidate like Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). Even though I disagree with her on the issues, I think she has a fine character (whereas I believe Hillary is rotten to the core).
Klobuchar also has a command of the issues that Hillary does not possess. Hillary can only speak in empty platitudes (e.g. - "our children are our future..."). Klobuchar has an astounding ability to talk numbers, and legislative subsections.
Hillary benefits from a cult of the personality that proclaims her "brilliant," "one of the smartest people in America," etc.; however, I have never seen her demonstrate anything above mental mediocrity. Klobuchar actually IS smart and doesn't need media cheerleaders and a PR campaign telling everyone how smart she is.

I posted a similar question. The problem with Hillary is that she is the Dallas Cowboys of politics. Love or hate. Nothing in between. The haters say she is "cold and calculating." Well duh! And I suppose John Edwards isn't cold and calculating. Only men are allowed to be cold and calculating in politics.
Oh, and she's a radical feminist that will socialize the country and bring us to defeat at the hands of something or other. Hillary is a centrist with centrist politics like her hubby. No crazy Left agenda. It's not like we're talking Hugo Chavez here. Universal healthcare is being talked about by everyone, Republicans and Democrats alike.
Her Iraq vote will hurt a little, but the "cold and calculating" perception won't be so easy to go away. She's got a political machine at work to change those vibes. I think she'll prevail over Obama in the end in a close one for the Dems. The Reps have nothing.

We do need a change, and a woman would be good, but Hillary is not a nice person. She's not even the good public speaker that her husband is. All she does is yell, and I'd hate to be living here and needing to hear her do that.
Hillary = rude, crude and shrewd

She doesn't have a very high "Q" factor, which is what I think they call being likable. Mary Kate and/or Ashley Olsen are more likely to get elected than Hillary.

Nope...and I'm a Democrat.
There are better qualified women to be President. Hillary is too controversial to get elected.
