If so, do you think Hillary Clinton will be our First Woman President?

If any woman has the credentials and assertiveness, it is Hillary. As far as who will be first, history has shown us that men will vote against a woman before race.... (Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B. Anthony's plight for women's right to vote - black men joined them and gained the right some 30 years ahead of women)

This is a tough call. Other nations have had women leaders (and have done very well I might add). I am unaware of nations with black leaders (that are not predominately black). As for America's future - I predict a woman president before a black president. Although I am a republican I believe H. Clinton has a good chance. It is too early to tell though - wait until next summer before making any decisions and keep an open mind.

Yes, I do think we will see a woman President first. Just from observing the fence that Obama has to walk because of his ethnicity I have changed my mind from thinking we were ready for that to thinking I don't know when it will ever happen. For example, if Obama associates himself too closely with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson he risks alienating the white population in particular who think they are both too far left. If he stays away from the issues, such as he did by not being present at the Jena 6 demonstration then he risks looking like he's letting down the black community. He can't win being between a rock and hard place like that. I know way too many people who are only going to vote for a black candidate if they don't "talk or act too black." I think it's disgusting that we haven't evolved past that, but I don't think we have. And yes, I do believe it's very likely that Sen. Clinton will be our first woman President.

Probably not, but I hope and pray it ain't Hillary!
She's a lawyer and and professional politician, which means she has two jobs that make her a professional LIAR!
If you want a Woman President that has a proven track record on education, vote for Dolly Parton! (No joke, she does more for education around Sevierville, TN than Hillary ever could! Type "Dolly Parton Reading" into your search engine)

Too bad old "Iron Pants Maggie" Thatcher can't run... as for Hillary the Harridan, the sound you hear from me IF she gets elected will be puking !
God help this country if Billary takes over. It would be time for another seccession from the Union, and I bet we'd get more than 11 states to do it this time !

The U.S. doesn't NEED a woman in the White House. They ALREADY rule!
Islam sure could use one.
The President must be someone who can lead and inspire the vast majority of the Nations citizens.
Who best does THAT?
Not Barack Obama.

I think there are more potential female candidates than black ones so the odds would favor a female president, and the odds also favour Clinton over Obama as well.
Maybe "Oprah" will run and there'll be both?

Male or Female, Black or White who cares. I just don't want an unabashed Socialist like Hillary in the White House. BTW I have seen no evidence that Hillary is female.

What makes the difference as long as they do a good job. Are you a racist or what? Colors belong in the last century, or haven't you heard?
