Looking at the United States Census, there are more women registered to vote then men. Are we ready for a woman president? Will a woman president be respected in the world politics?

Yes of course she has a chance otherwise she wouldn't be leading all the polls and wouldn't be raising the money that she is.
Remember not every woman is going to vote for her and actually very few are voting for her because she is a woman, her sex is only a side note.
Hey Frank, you need to take a look at yoru own party. At lease the dems have pretty much narrowed there potential candidates to 2 or 3, meanwhile the arguably most active part of the republican base is talking about fielding a third party candidate. It appears any dem could beat the republican party.

I think Hillary Clinton has the best chance at being president. Looks like she'll runaway with the Democratic nomination barring some huge, discrediting controversy. The Republicans don't seem to have a candidate to rally their base behind.
I think we're ready for a woman president, though I'm not sure if we're ready for Pres. Hillary. While she may not be respected as a woman, she will be respected as president of the United States. Our economic and military power can only be ignored by the insane or stupid.
As for women voters, I'm one guy who's leaning toward Hillary. She's craftier than when her husband was president and knows how to grease the wheels of political machines to get things done. I think there are better candidates out there, but if the presidency comes down to Clinton vs. Guiliani or Clinton vs. Romney like it's looking, my vote is for Hillary.

Her gender is not a major obstacle, although her campaign folks might project otherwise.
Hillary's problem is she comes across as dishonest, power-hungry, controlling, and disrespectful. Toss in that she's a hardcore authoritarian socialist, and it doesn't help much.
Could she get voted in as president? Unfortunately, this is possible. I think she would be like a Hitler without the concentration camps or WW2; just a spiteful controlling leader obsessed with class warfare and weatlh redistribution.
Hey, Stevie Wunder, take a look at some of the crap that Hillary has said and then tell me she's not an authoritarian socialist disaster waiting to happen (and then wake the heck up):
"We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society."
"We just can't trust the American people to make those types of choices…. Government has to make those choices for people"
(From the book "I've Always Been A Yankee Fan" by Thomas D. Kuiper, p 20 - Hillary to Rep. Dennis Hastert in 1993 discussing her expensive, disastrous taxpayer-funded health care plan)
"I am a fan of the social policies that you find in Europe"
Hillary in 1996 From the book "I've Always Been A Yankee Fan" by Thomas D. Kuiper, p. 76 - Hillary in 1996)
Fk off! It's enough that I have to see you ****-kickers every day, I'm not going to talk to you too!! Just do your Gdamn job and keep your mouth shut."
(From the book "American Evita" by Christopher Anderson, p. 90 - Hillary to her State Trooper bodyguards after one of them greeted her with "Good morning."
"Where is the G-damn fking flag? I want the G-damn fking flag up every fking morning at fking sunrise."
(From the book "Inside The White House" by Ronald Kessler, p. 244 - Hillary to the staff at the Arkansas Governor's mansion on Labor Day, 1991)
"You know, I'm going to start thanking the woman who cleans the restroom in the building I work in. I'm going to start thinking of her as a human being"
-Hillary Clinton
(From the book "The Case Against Hillary Clinton" by Peggy Noonan, p. 55)

Hillary Clinton has made some somewhat unfavorable selections over the previous couple of weeks. She is down in New Orleans blasting the federal governement, which she is component to for their persisted loss of help for the area. final I checked her social gathering is now in potential and not something has replaced. Then she makes a speech approximately how she has this marvelous theory to grant Pre-okay to youngsters interior the indoors city, and how this on my own will help households smash the cycle of poverty. there is already such an employer, and that i artwork for it. HEAD initiate. that's no longer a sparkling theory, that is been around for years. This application additionally does not help households smash the cycle of poverty. Of the 20 youngsters in my type 15 of them their mum and dad have been head initiate youngsters aswell. Very idealistic, yet no longer a certainty. marvelous theory Hillary, next she would be in a position of let us know that she has this large theory to help us flow our armed forces around the rustic reported as the line equipment.

I don't know any women personally who will vote for Hillary Clinton so just because we are women don't mean she gets our vote.
I do think an honest and intelligent woman would make a good president and would be respected for her qualities worldwide. All women are not like Hillary Clinton!

She can win the Dem nomination, but not the Presidency. If Democrats are dumb enough to nominate the most polarizing figure in modern politics, they are dumb enough to give the Presidency to the Republicans, again.
It doesn't matter that she's a woman - what matters is that she is not the right person for the job. The fact that people are voting for her simply because she IS a woman, THAT is deplorable and should negate your ability to vote. People shouldn't vote for or against Hillary because she is a woman. People should vote on how they see a self-serving, power-hungry, poll-watching, fake persona candidate would do as President.

Yes she does. The republicans keep beating on her because she CAN WIN and has pretty good odds. That nonsense about being polarizing is just that - fear of loosing to Hillary - she is no more polarizing.
Do I want her to win? No, I want Ron Paul. I am an independent conservative (NOT BIG GOVERNMENT NEO-NOTCONservative)
I don't want her to win because I am tired of the BUSH CLINTON dynasty but to say she won't govern well is to forget how decent Bill Clinton did - as Greenspan said about Clinton "the best republican he ever worked for"...Clinton is more conservative fiscally than Bush is.

Many countries have had or do have women leaders, its only Americans that seem to have a primitive notion of the world in respect to female leadership. Indira Ghandi, Bhutto, Aquino, Thatcher, Meir and German Chancellor Merkal, have all led their countries in modern times.
Not all women will vote for Hillary, certainly not just because shes a woman. Some women feel that since they themselves have problems seeing themselves as strong and independent, Hillary must be like that too. Others don't like her politics.
Does she have a chance? Yes, shes smart and hardworking, and nowhere near as on the fringe as the pundits would have you believe. Are we ready for a woman president? I think we are, as a nation, tired of the frat boy mentality and a grown up looks good. Will she be respected? Absolutely, especially as opposed to the lack of respect our present leader has left in his wake.

Even the Republicans think she will be elected. Many women have been respected in world politics: Golda Meir, Indira Ghandi, Margaret Thatcher, to name a few.
