She hasn't been born yet. The proof can be seen in the "bash a mom for not preventing her legal daughter from getting pregnant" thread.

I bet if you would have done this poll about 9 months ago Hillary would have got a LOT more votes......I was pulling for her.

But you know what I heard so much made of the first black or first woman president in this up coming election and the glass ceiling.

I think Oprah has broken all those ceilings....there is what 2 people richer than her in the world!!

What about Natalie Merchant...I would vote for her.

Hillary is done. The next time she will get an opportunity, she will be in the same boat as McCain... old enough for it to be a campaign issue.

Palin could be in the future if she is elected VP. But the chances of her being elected are low.

The incumbent party is usually thrown out when a recession occurs. The war just increases the displeasure with the Republican party.


A female president will be elected sometime in the next 50 years... perhaps in the next several election cycles.

I think we should draft Martha for the job. She a great mod and has a legal background.

I don't think old Hill is done. She still feels she is entitled to the President's job. If Obama wins, the she will be 68 in 2016. Even she would not run against a sitting President. If McCain wins, she comes out in 2012 with both barrels blasting!

She thinks she deserves to be President and will continue to try. One of the safest bets every.

Whoever wins, McCain or Obama, I would not be surprised if Palin were at the top of the Rs ticket in 2012, assuming of course she can withstand the intense scrutiny of the next couple of months. Very much doubt she could carry off a win.

Don't see Hillary ever reaching the top of the heap.

I voted "other"............. hope it's in my lifetime.

Sarah Palin of course. I already won a bet with DW that McCain would pick her as VP. She has brains, brawn, class and style. A rare combination.

I predict that, if McCain wins and chooses not to run again in 2012, we will have our first woman elected President in 2012 (the race will be Sarah Palin vs Hillary Clinton).
