      I don't find that women are any greater thinkers than men, and neither do I see them as better organizers.
      
      In very general terms, women often think a little differently than men, and different things are considered important.  Either sex, however, can and does provide great thoughts and conclusions about whatever is important to them.
      
      Given that, I would never vote for a woman just because she is female any more than I would vote for a black man because he is black.  What the individual can or can't accomplish compared to what their opponent can or can't do is far more important, as is what both consider to be important themselves.
      
      If you truly think that being female means ability to straighten out the mess we are in you need to seriously re-think things.  The female politicians we have are generally just as disgusting, just as stupid and just as much a liar as their male counterparts are.  The policies they offer are just as silly and just as self serving.  They are part of a government that seems to be working hard to destroy our country.

         @wilderness, the country has to be ran by someone a human if the male can't do it, or has showed that they haven't been able to properly run the US government, then what or who should be next to give a try but a woman, it can't run itself, and since women are very good at taking care of a household, at least some, why not the run the country for a change?

      I think.....there are enough good men to fill the roles and I hope they step up and start doing it.   There is no such thing (in my opinion) as it being "time for" a woman to be President, just as there's no particular "time for" anyone of any specific race or background to fill that position.  What I'm trying to say is that that phrase seems to describe someone being given a "token" position based simply on their gender.
      That being said, I do think a woman can lead the U.S. just as effectively as a man, if she's got the right qualities and experience.

      I agree that woman CAN be excellent thinkers, organizers, etc...but there are just as many men out there who can, too.
      
      The problem is that, while some people, men and women, start off in politics for the right reasons, way too many of them become ensnared by the greed and selfishness that is so prevalent in politics.
      
      There isn't one politician out there right now--again, man or woman--that I personally feel is working for the betterment of this country.  They say all the "right" things that they know their constituents want to hear, but when elected they seem to forget who put them there in the first place.
      
      I just don't see how a woman is doing any better yet in controlling this problem.

                        @CAGSIG? women great thinkers who told me? OBESERVATION: Women  Analyze  situations and adapt to their calling, i.e., back in the day it was the women that stayed home and raised the children while the men went out and made the bread, the woman baked the bread while the men made it. 
                        
                        The women has to be great thinkers  to guide children knowing all their children needs, personality and guide them in the right direction. Women are able to withstand a great deal of pressure and hold up their position as a mother and wife, this along with a great deal more  observations assures me that women are great thinkers.
                        
                        As said it take a village to raise children, maybe it does take a village but since the village never arrives the women takes on this task sometimes alone.

                           Here in the UK we have already had the experience of a woman in charge. I think it was something 13 years until she destroyed herself with a policy to far and the country revolted. Did Maggie Thatcher do a good job at the time YES, the country was a mess, the men of the time where all to grey and drab she had colour. The one thing she more than anything else was the womens vote! Actualy lets let women rule the world I am sure there would be less wars and more hanbag shops.

                              You must remember a different UK than I do under Margaret Thatcher. I remember high levels of unemployment, the interest rate an all time high, record numbers of house repossessions, huge numbers of homeless young people begging on street corners and a soaring crime rate. I think among many women's groups the consensus of opinion is that Mrs T was hardly a glowing  example of what a women can achieve in high office.

                                    I think a woman is equally as capable of running the country as a man, however, even though I support the idea of positive discrimination in principle, I think to offer the job to a candidate based purely on their gender would be a huge mistake. The best candidate for the job should be able to run, irrespective of their gender.

Those same people who feeling the pain me included returned her and the party to power. I am sure the Falkland war paid the most part for the first and all the plasters the second but never the less she was re-elected.

   It appears all these parties elected over the years have allowed 1 or more of these to change their motives to fulfilled the job for the people who put them in office.
   
   but what corrupts a women, haven't seen this yet? 
   
   Not to be pushing gender but with observing the facts below it's time to consider:
   
   1.Men have had their time in office and has folded each one of them. 
   
   2. Even the culture of men have been in office and the same results.
   
   3. Democratic Party Failed,

         I'm sure character can cause an individual to be lack of the proper role in a relationship but when it comes to running a office, those three main things will cause them to fall and fail.

      ooooh yes men are really pigs as far as am concern a man does not think straight when it comes to the issue of relationships a woman man thing  and they allow their emotion to weigh them down instead of using their heads they use their mind.

               @doormattnomoreNo it's not hard for them to use their heads they just seem some time to over look things that women sense quickly and think about more clearly than they do, maybe this comes from having to raise children it's takes a great deal of planning to raise children.

                  Yes!  Things like "what could that little bitty sound in the car engine be?" 
                  
                  Or "What would be the best procedure to drop this tree while missing the house"
                  
                  I get it!
