Did Hell freeze over and I didn't notice

You just need to look at who actually votes.
http://www.census.gov/population/soc...004/tab04b.xls
The largest being between 45 and 64
The lowest being over the age of 75 and the next to lowest, 18-24
As I said, men between 45 and 65 are not ready for a Woman President. And the Women, many still believe their place is in the home and not the White House.

If more 18-24 year olds were to stop protesting everything and do the important thing (vote) a Woman might have a chance. But, with only about 11% of these kids voting, an uptight old white man will be in the White House this next election.

If a Woman runs on the Democratic Ticket, the only chance she will win is if the Republicans put up a Woman as well.

As for Hillary herself, I would vote for her. I voted for her for the Senate. But, if she ran for President, the Republican Hate Machine would talk and talk about her past problems and failures. And as I said, she would not only have her own problems but her husbands as well.

Republicans are great at spinning anything the Democrats say or do. Jesus Christ, they got her husband impeached for lying about getting a blow job. I can see it now..."She showed weakness by staying with a husband that admitted to cheating on her, how could she be trusted to be strong when we need her?"

It's a horrible fact that the US is not ready for a Woman President. Maybe, just maybe, we are ready for a Woman Vice President. But even that is risky.

I have to repectfully disagree..

since 'we' burned our bras in the late 60's and early 70's .. those of us who went through the glass ceiling are now 50-65.. I mean it was a BIG deal when Shirley Chisholm was elected to Congress--the 1st woman-- in 1969.. and a black woman at that from Brooklyn.. which at the time was mainly Italian, Jewish and Caribbean.

so it is very unlikely in that age group that you would find a woman who still thinks her place is in the home. Now those over 65.. well that's a whole 'nother story.

Uninformed woman might vote for Hillary because of her gender but well informed and educated women will vote for the best candidate, gender aside. Geraldine Ferraro didn't get elected because she wasn't the best candidate, not because of her gender.

just my opinion, repectfully.
