I have seen this question asked under politics and am wanting some feedback on this question from Christians.
Biblical references/examples are a plus.

If the woman is Hillary, I'm sure most Bible Belt Christians would interpret it as a sign of the Apocalypse.
(P.S. - I admit I meant that as a joke - sort of - but I see that many wackos do indeed see Hillary as a fulfillment of prophesy. And these people vote! That's how we wind up with our Dubyas!)
Besides, we have it straight from St. Paul - "I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to use authority over man, but to be subject to him" (1 Tim. 2:12). Christianity is of course very patriarchal and misogynistic at core, even though many modern Christian women ignore those elements.

As a Christian I have no problem with a woman in the White House. There are several examples of women as leaders of nations in the Bible that are presented as positive rolemodels. There is Miriam (Micah 6:4-"For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and redeemed you from the house of slavery; and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam."), Deborah (Judges 4-5), the Queen of Sheba (1 Kings 10:1-13, 2 Chronicles 9:1-9, 2 Chronicles 9:12, Matthew 12:42), and Candace (Acts 8:27).

A BLUNT MESSAGE TO MEN
You men were designed by God to benevolently rule the Creation. You were designed to first; rule yourselves, your lust, your covetousness and your behavior; then, having properly ruled your own lust, you were designed to benevolently rule over that which God has placed under you. However, your lust has enslaved you. Your unwillingness to abstain from your sexual desires has made you into a lower animal, a mere beast, rather than a man. Your beastly behavior has robbed you of your birthright, your honor, your power and your authority. You cannot stand on your own two feet because you have become a dog and not a man. I speak to you as a dog because you have become a dog. No dog is fit to rule God’s creation, and neither will any dog inherit the Kingdom designed for redeemed men from the foundation of the world. Your life is miserable and your culture is fallen because YOU cannot control yourself. Just once let God’s servants take control over their sexual behavior, and they will also once again be seated properly on the throne that God has provided for them. If you are a Christian, God has called you a King and a Priest of the Most High God, but you are only a King if you have properly ruled yourself. You are only a King if your subjects do not rule over you. You are only a King if you have not bought the “50-50” power-sharing lie. You are a King when you benevolently and Biblically rule over that which God has given you. Until such time as you rise up and put off your beastly behavior, you will be nothing but a slave, not only in your personal life, but now there's a real possibility, in your country. You will be the worst kind of slave at that, a slave to a woman who evidently has no respect for you… only disdain.

Would another man to replace Bush be much better than
what we now have a sorry excuse
Yes I believe a woman like Hillary Clinton will shape up the
White House and kick some butt around and get our troops
out of Iraq and back to America where they belong with
all of us and end this Veitnam War once and for all, men
believe in war and fighting and some women just want peace
and for this war to be over right not President Bush??

I see no problem with a woman in the white house. However I will not vote for Hilary Clinton. God has used several woman in political power, Deborah and Esther being just two. Woman were not to be ministers according to the Bible but they were given the charge to teach the children and other women. Kinda makes sense that we are ministered to by those who understand what we are going to. Ministry and politics are two different things.

This Christian's opinion is that it would be perfectly fine, so long as that women is not Hillary Clinton.
Check out the Book of Judges in the OT. You will find a woman named Deborah who lead/judged Israel.

Depends on the woman. If it's Hillary Clinton, I've got an issue with it. She's too two-faced. If it was me, no problem.

I don't have the slightest problem with that. Golda Meir did a great job leading Israel. But of course, she believed in God.

Look around you:
Isaiah 3:12 As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.
Prophecy is being fulfilled.
