The question is, what do people think of potentially having a female or african american president as our country's next representative?

I think it is great, even the thought of them being viable candidates is great. I am 61 and I never thought I would see it in my lifetime. It is a step forward for America and that is exactly what America needs after the last 6 years of going backward. .
edit: I am speaking of win or lose, it is a win for America that they are even considered in the election.

Not so sure the nation is ready for it. Also not so sure other nations are ready to accept a woman leader, given that the major problems the U.S. faces are in the mid-east, where women do not hold positions of authority. Are they willing to listen to a women, especially one who did basically nothing when her husband was exposed as an adulterer? Respect is paramount to negotiations w/ the leaders of these countries. I wonder if the contenders for the presidency have their priorities straight. Good of the country should be foremost, not political manipulations. Haven't we had enough of that? We are now in an uncalled for war, with no end in sight. And no firm answers from either candidate. The current political situation calls for more knowledge and more respect from other nations than either candidate possess. We are in DIRE need of an honest politician. Step up, wherever you are!!!

i might have not any concern with a woman or a black or in line with possibility a black lady as president in the event that they have been the ideal guy or woman appropriate for the activity. i don't sense that Clinton or Obama is the stunning guy or woman. It has no longer something to do with gender or colour, that's the place they stand on themes.

Well almost every western democracy has had a female leader, so that's no biggie, the US is just a little slower on that . As for a Black leader, lemme put it this way, anyone from any party GOP or Dems has got to be better than W and Cheney.

Bottom-Line: Miss Rice is just the opposite of Mrs. Clinton, and Trust too ranks quite high. Mrs. Clinton? Well, If she just stayed solid on a issue would be nice for sure. Ca you imagine Bill Clinton as !st. man? Monica, where you is ??

Sorry but it won't happen. People in the USA are still deeply racist, and men still think themselves superior to women.
Considering that most other nations have already had presidents that are female or belong to their ethnic minorities, I think the USA will be among the last (together with Iran, China and Saudi Arabia) to elect either as a president.
I'm sorry, but the USA is very socially backwards.

It shouldn't matter, but I think the American voters are not ready for a woman or an African American president. Old inequities that still linger in our society.

I am fine with any President who accomplishes something that will benefit my interests. I am self-centered when it comes to a President, they are elected not to be my leader, they are to be my servant. Race or gender is a non-issue.

I've always considered Bill Clinton a First Lady.

The race of the president does not matter. What matters is the way they work and think.
