There are 15 more but I think you get the point.
Women are just as capable as men. Why do you think it would be a disaster? Are you a misogynist? Should women stay domesticated and leave all the tough work to the men? Men have been in majority when it comes to controlling the world, and thus far I am not impressed. Maybe god created two genders to foster a healthy balance, did you ever think of that?

Why a disaster? I don't agree. If you're saying that it shouldn't be Hillary Clinton, I agree. But no woman at all, ever? Can't say I agree with that. I don't understand your logic. What's the difference really? Maybe a man in certain cultures has a certain perceived power behind him that a woman may not command especially in some predominantly Muslim countries. However, that being said, the power of the US presidency in those countries almost exclusively rests with our military and economic capabilities not with the aptitude or sex of our president. Even if you don't agree, think about it and, if you get the chance, explain why you think it would be such a disaster.

Why not if she is the most qualified candidte that is there @ the time. This country could have done better during the years of 1992-2000 with a good Conservative woman in charge!

I think Condi would make a good one. She's much more diversed than the Hill and has the respect of the majority of Americans and Foreign leaders, unlike the Hill.

I don't care if it's a woman or a man!! All they need to get my vote are brains and a liberal view of things! Right now, the only women who would get my vote are Barbara Boxer and N. Pelosi.

Why the heck not? There's nothing about having a Y chromosome that makes you more fit for office than someone who doesn't. Women have proven capable of leading other governments (the UK, Israel, India), why not the US?

When there is a credible woman candidate then I don't see any reason why not. We haven't ever had a credible candidate and this election appears to be no different.

It could work if it's the right woman who hires the right staff. I see none of those at the moment.

I think there are many women who would be far better than the President we have now.

I disagree. I think a woman president will be less likely to declare war on other countries and more likely to try and work things out.
