When do you think we will have a woman president in the United States and why?

We'll have a woman president as soon as one who is qualified for the job is nominated. Hillary Clinton came close in the last election, and she may run again in 2016, after Obama's second term. One thing's for sure--it won't be Sarah Palin. She's not remotely qualified for the presidency.

Your next president will be Sarah Palin,as she takes no s from anyone and this is what the U.S.government needs,is a shake up.There are to many politicians in government that are over the hill and don't kinow how to run a young country as it is.

If things don't change there will be a war amongst the people versus the government.

I think it could happen at any time actually. 2012 could result in a Republican woman winning and 2016 could result in either party having a woman win.

I do not believe that there are any pressing influences keeping a woman out of the oval office as of right now. More than anything there is probably an incidence of lower female representation in the political arena, with respect to men. I could see a female democrat before a republican but as circumstances prevail, it shouldn't be far off.

My vote? - Arkansas Senior Senator Blanche Lincoln, in 2020.

Reasons? - 1. Shes one of the youngest 2. She's somewhat centrist (a conservative democrat)

My question is; "why has there not been a woman president?" I think that is the major issue. Answer that question, and we are dealing with a whole different topic.

I agree with Ralph. I think the nation is ready for a female president but we need the right one. Hillary could have done it but she wasn't as cool a choice as Obama and wasn't as good a speaker.
