Is the USA ready for a female president?

Recommended Posts

I dont live in the USA, but from what I've been reading in the last few months, it seems like Hilary Clinton is a lock for the 2008 election. It's her election to lose. Which begs the question: can she actually pull it off?

No, she can not.

 

She has little national appeal and it's likely she won't even get relected for her Senate seat. Her big problems are she's too far left, not well liked by her own party to boot, and she has the stink of the Clinton Presidency stuck to her.

 

The only way she has national appeal is if Big Willy's off cheating on her and she has the sympathy card in her favor.

A woman? Maybe

 

Dragon Lady? No. Alot of people love her, but just as many people (if not more) hate her guts.

She has absolutely no shot in hell.

 

Condoleeza Rice is probably, presently, the woman with the best shot of ever winning the office.

A woman? Sure, of course.

 

Hilary? Hell no, lots of women have no respect for her and I'd vote for Jeb Bush before I voted for her.

 

But of course a woman will be president someday.

Not a shot in hell.

She's non-controversial. She's a minority. She's a woman. She is highly intelligent.

 

It might be a bit hard for the Dems to nail her for anything, seeing as how she is hardly hated by the left establishment.

I have no problem with a women president. I DO have a problem with Hillary as president, and I have this bad bad BAD fear she's going to win in 2008. She'll have the support of a lot of women just because she is a women.

Which, honestly, could go either way for her.

I dont know, I thik HIlary has a shot. Most Americans really dont care too much about politics, jsut who sounds the best, and has name recognition and occasionally your party. It will depend more on who runs for the Republican party. If its Dick Cheney or Colin Powell or John McCain or something then Hilary has a fight. If its someone "new" (someone whose name is not recognizable to the public) then Hilary has a much better chance.

Thing is, Hillary has all of Bill's faults and virtually none of his pluses. She is unelectable on a national level.

I think "Hitlery" Clinton has a better shot at winning than a Republican woman. Not beucause we on the right aren't ready for a woman president, its just that I don't think there are any TRUE conservative women candidates out there. Rice seems to be the only viable candidate. We need more Margaret Thatcher and less Elizabeth Dole.

 

 

EDIT: Oh, and does Hillary actually have a shot in 2008? It depends on how many illegal immigrants will be allowed to vote.

TRUE conservative women

What do you consider true conservative women? The most traditional Conservative view of women is the housewife who does inconsequential housecleaning and talking on the phone with friends, while the man does the work, takes the credit, and makes the mark upon the world.

 

The way Dean has been grabbing defeat from the jaws of victory, I still think there's enough time for Hillary to run in and steal his frontrunner position.

I worked directly under Dr Rice for a little over two years and I can say without hesitation that she would be one of the finest presidents we ever elected. Whether or not she'd be willing to stand, though, I couldn't say.

1955 called. They want your Conservative definition of a woman back.

I'm still looking for women like that.

I'm surprised nobody has used a line from The Onion about this topic:

 

A female President? What if she menstruates all over some important legislation?

Except that I have heard real conservatives say that women should enjoy that role more. Honestly. They seem to be the nutjob kind of conservatives that listen to Michael Savage on a regular basis, though.

Michael Savage actually uses the term "Commie-Nazis"

 

'Nuff said.

If Hillary runs I hope she gets a shot.

 

From an assassin’s bullet.

 

Well, there goes my New Year's Resolution -- thanks a bunch pappajacks...

 

:angry:

 

Let's hope he isn't already under arrest for even saying this.

 

Cause that would be sad.
