Maggie Thatcher was a very, very important symbol for women worldwide, and Hillary Clinton is in position to do something great and monumental for womens rights at the global level. How important to you is that?

No, Hillary is not the last hope, unless she is the last woman on the planet.
There are other women leaders in the world. Check the link below.
I think it is more important to choose the most capable candidate rather than make a decision due to a gender preference.

If she was as strong as Margaret Thatcher you might have a point, but she's not. Hillary Clinton is where she is based mainly on name recognition, her husband was President. She is where she is because of a man. Not to mention she stood subserviently by when her husband admitted to his adultery, not a good example of a strong woman. She is a run of the mill, corrupt politician. Feminists and women should ignore her and pick a truly strong woman to run for the Presidency next time around. If civil rights matter to you, Obama being the first non-white President has as much if not more of an impact than Hillary being elected the first woman president.

What are you a nut case willing to put an unqualified female in office to prove a point? Do you even have a clue of the damage this will do not only to the USA but to the womans movement all together? It'll be 50 more years after Hillary would another woman ever have a chance to become president if we allowed this woman to be the 1st. This lady is crazy and has done NOTHING to qualify herself.. WOW!
OK catz... you say she is qualified.. NAME one ACCOMPLISHMENT she has done other then sitting on a few pointless committees or being the arm candy of a president... Being a Jr Senator of NY (my state) is not an accomplishment as she did NOTHING except campaign for her run for president.. That was nothing but an 8 year plan to become president so it's not an accomplishment. She wasn't even a NYer....Everything she has done has been a miserable failure. Back up your statement.. I hate when someone defends this woman and dares to say she is qualified.. Even she can't answer that question and has been asked to explain numerious times.. She's a FAKE and THATS why we bash her and it has nothing to do with being a woman... The PERSON is FAKE

I believe that if Hillary Clinton is elected as President, she will do a terrible job, not because she's a woman, but because she is unqualified. She has very limited government experience, and has proven time and again she is unable to control herself by screaming at people. She will provide many people with ammunition as to why a woman can't be President. I believe there are plenty of women out there that are qualified to be President, and if Hillary is elected, it will end up in a giant step back in feminism because she will be a huge failure.

Hopefully not in my lifetime. Hillary is the standard for Socialism-except for her family. Someone like Sandra Day O'Conner will come along. I think they will be pushing Condaleeza Rice in the future. That ain't gonna fly. I support President Bush-notice HE is conducting this peace stuff between Israel & Pakistan. What's ridiculous is sending her to the middle east-he keeps trying to jam a woman down Muslims throats-give me a break-they treat their women worse than donkeys. Hey, you asked !

Not very . . . I do not consider Margaret Thatcher a symbol for women (I'm a woman, she barely crosses my thoughts). If someone wanted to do something great for women's rights they would make sure my children receive the best education in the world, ensure that my children never die from lack of medical care, and invent a fail proof form of birth control (other than abstinence).

Hillary Clinton will ruin our government by taking away what few rights bush left us. Why should every single person be force into a health care plan? I want the FREAKIN government out of my private life. What ever happened to the constitution????

i don't know how people can bash hillary saying how unqualified she is. she maybe isn't my first choice but she is a helluva lot more qualified than bush was. the mess he has created will take decades to repair.
