is america ready to have a female president? polls show a high chance of democrats nominatiing hillary clinton and republicans nominating condoleezza rice.

I honestly hope not! I would not want to vote for either of them & it has nothing to do with the fact that they are women. I don't like them.

If a woman is the right person for the job. I'd vote for her. And niether one of those mentioned is the right one.

I'm bettin Ralph Nader does hope those two are nominated. He might actually have a shot at the Oval Office then.

Its going to take a lot more than that to get Nader elected. Everybody in America has that classic worry of, "Am I throwing my vote away or handing victory to the wrong candidate by voting for a Third Political Party's Candidate?"

Both of those ladies need to work on being more charming and charismatic. Helluva ballance to try for as a woman it seems. How to be seen as both tough and compassionate at the same time. How do you do that while putting to rest the old nonsense about "women being weak" or "women are not fit to lead", etc. I follow what your saying 03USMC but it looks likely that we're in for the first woman President of the United States coming in the form of one of those two women. Which do you pick???

What the hell, I'll make the topic for it if someone has not beaten me to it.

if i had to pick between them it would have to be clinton,

Well if your putting a gun to my head & these 2 were the only candidates to choose from I would have to go with Clinton

Temporary insanity-after thinking about it a bit as of this moment even w/a gun to my head I don't want to vote for either of them.
Rice still has time to prove herself with her current position.

rather take a bullet than vote for one of the two? how much worse can they be than bush? cmon now.

One thing either of them has on Bush is in the brains department. Bush is not actually as stupid as many people assume, though he certainly doesn't come accross as being very bright sometimes. But both Condi and Hillary are really really smart ladies. They also both have a strong tendency to bug the hell out of many many people too.

Seriously! Maybe I could say if im being backed into a corner, means the same thing! I was being facetious.
