[show more] excerpt from: http://www.rasmussen...President.htm April 8, 2005--Seventy-two percent (72%) of Americans say they would be willing to vote for a woman President. That figure includes 75% of American women and 68% of men. However, a Rasmussen Reports survey found that just 49% think most of their family, friends, and co-workers would be willing to vote for a woman to serve as President of the United States. Among Democrats, 84% say they are willing to vote for a woman, but just 59% think their family, friends, and co-workers would do the same. For Republicans, those numbers are 61% and 41% respectively. Among those not affiliated with either major party, just 48% believe that most people in their social network would be willing to vote for a woman. Older Americans are less likely to consider voting for a woman than younger Americans. Among those over 65, just 62% say they'd be willing to vote for a woman. Just 32% think those around them would do the same. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 55 votes 1082 pts

[show more] She's to False & to interested in self gain! To run a government that can make the necessary changes to move forward, i believe it is necessary to have someone at the helm who has a deeper insight into the bigger picture. This is why Barack Obama with his wider than average range of life experience, seemingly natural insight & strong public speaking ability's is the worlds best chance in for advancement in years! It's very rare to have these qualities together in one person on the public stage Someone who has a Strong interest in revolutionary improvements to the entire way our imperfect system works. He's a mortal human being like you & me, i don't expect him to be perfect. But he's a starting point for change! Wouldn't you rather have an imperfect leader at the helm who has a deeper insight into the bigger picture, someone who seeks 10% Power & Glory & 90% revolutionary improvements rather than the other choices who are 90% about Power & Glory for themselves! But if you voted for cause you think she's hot, Check out this photo & adjust your standards :) [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 1 votes 19 pts

In France, Socialist deputee (left wing) Segolene Royal is lining up to become the first President of the French Republic. In Germany, the Chancelor is Angela Merkel. There also are some leader women in the world. Times are changing. Women may/might be less ambitious in politics than men.
