What women would you put in the White House this year?

[darklinensuit]

We saw a play on Barbara Jordan today, and afterwards the actress commented that so many people expected her to be the first female president of the USA.
I'm NOT advocating that anybody should pick a candidate based on gender. Please don't tell me it shouldn't matter. I know that. Just curious, which women could you see yourself voting for (based on qualifications, of course) if they ran instead of (or against) Bush & Kerry/company? I'm not talking about eight years from now, I mean THIS year.

I think Bob Dole's wife Liddy Dole is okay. I think Hillary is okay, but she. like her huisband and the current President, is a devisive figure. I like Carol M. Braun, but she is not a go getter enough.

I remember some time ago there was talk of Susan Molinari possibly running but she hasn't been mentioned really since the GOP convention back in 96'....I liked her. I like Elizabeth Dole..she's not bad but I agree with what Jason said about both Elizabeth and Hillary. Honestly though, and I hate to say this...I don't really see any single person that would do a knockout job as President that's a female currently in government...I really don't.

[dissention]

-Nancy Pelosi (she's as liberal as they get)

-Carol Moseley Braun (I supported her first and foremost)

-Hillary Clinton (just to see the neocon pigs squirm)

-Teresa Heinz Kerry (smart as a whip and could eat Bush for breakfast)

I'm not a big fan of Liddy, and a mother at school looks and talks just like her. I wouldn't vote for her, either.:)

I grew up near wear Henz's husband died, and I lived in Chicago when Braun was first elected. I could see myself voting for Hillary.

She started off alright but boy....Whitman? Heh. Let's just say republican and democratic voters regret that second term. This new clown we have is just as bad. Jersey better wise up....

Geez, I could just see the Saturday Night Live & MadTV impressions of Ivins if she were in the Oval Office.

Dianne Feinstein
Nancy Pelosi
Hillary Clinton

[GypsySorcerer]

Olympia Snowe

Condoleeza Rice (Although the Iraq debacle probably would prevent her from ever having a shot. I still think she's brilliant, though.)

I like Liddy Dole, but I doubt I'd vote for her. I think Hillary is brilliant, too; I just disagree with her on most everything.

Yeah, I'd have to go with Condoleeza. The Iraq thing isn't in her favor, but she is extremely brilliant. And so.. classy. I like her a lot; her writing is always very well put together, and her speeches are well presented.

I agree that Hillary is brilliant.. but I really don't like her. She just.. rubs me the wrong way, I think she's incredibly shady.

Independent or not, that womans face is next to the term "liberal" in the dictionary.

All the more reason to vote for her. ;)

Is Molly sick or something? I saw her on Dateline a couple of weeks ago and she didn't look too good. Let's just say that the pic they have next to her columns made her look like a babe compared to her now. :eek:

I think she was born in Greece, if my memory serves me correctly.

She's a fantastic writer, I have every one of her books. :nod:

That's okay, Pennsylvania has had its doozies. And I seem to remember Texas even had some, too.;)

I hate when "the other side";) from where I stand has the better speaker or more honest candidate. Very frustrating.

If Bush loses it will be interesting to see what her next move is.

I know she favors internet censorship and the like. I saw her on some debate on PBS a couple of years ago.

None of these folks look as good as their column pics. How long did it take Ann Landers to age in hers?
As for Molly, she's got personality plus, but she's never been the standard Texas beauty queen. Not that she gives a crap.
