There is a certain degree of fear for what has never been done before, but for the most part, America just hasn't seen an electable woman run President yet. Neither the Republican nor the Democratic Parties have produced a woman politician that they believed had a strong chance of winning, so neither has bothered betting on the idea. Why bet on the horse that you believe can't win? As close as I can think of was Walter Mondale's running mate in 1984. Sure, its only a Vice Presidential candidate, but it was more than had ever been tried to that point. I can't remember her name offhand.chewie_nz said:just really having trouble understanding why having a female pres would be a bad thing...
