B. And it isn't close.

Too many men feel threatened by a woman with power to elect a Female president.

I think that a fair amount of women would like to see a female president now

There's never been a female presidential nominee from a major party, so we can't really say what her chances would be.

But there was a female vice presidential nominee in 1984, and her ticket received less female votes than the opposing all-male ticket.

Ideology trumps gender bias.

I honestly believe that at 90-95% of men would have no problem voting for a female candidate who agreed with them politically.

Your comments imply that a significant percentage of the male voting public feel threatened by a woman with power. I disagree, and I certainly don't.

A. Hillary Rodham Clinton becomes the first female U.S. President in 2008. Mark my words. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Hillary Clinton will never become president.

I actually hope the Democrats select her as their 2008 nominee, because it will ensure a Republican victory. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No chance in hell, period. I'm not as convinced as most everyone else seems to be that she will necessarily get the DP nomination. It probably won't help her chances that Howard Dean will be running the DNC.

Even if she does get the nomination, she won't be able to beat the Republican nominee--likely to be McCain, Giuliani, or Jeb Bush (long shots...maybe Bill Frist, Newt Gingrich, Mark Sanford, or Condy Rice).

I can see it now, 2008 - Hilary Clinton vs. Condy Rice -- and a 3rd party wins the election.
