Wookie isn't exactly a blank slate.We know that she got a $300K/yr no show job at a Chicago hospital shortly after Barry became a US Senator...and we know she's built like a linebacker.
But one thing that can't be denied is that she's wildly popular in this country and if she were on the ticket every woman *and* every "person of color" will turn out...including the ones in cemeteries.
I, being a woman, can tell you that many of us will turn out if only to vote for whatever ticket she is not on. She is no more qualified to be a high-ranking elected official than Mickey Mouse is. Not that I am, mind you, but I have always said and believed that a woman does not belong as the President or a person in an immediate successorship to the President.
Rightly or wrongly, there are large and relevant parts of the world under Shari'a law that would not deal with integrity with a woman in power, even a U.S President. The United States does not operate within a microcosm, and while we can fight for women's rights here and in other places, the fact that they still need to be fought for makes its own statement.
I'm not saying that women aren't capable of being high ranking leaders, not at all. Maybe someday. But unless one plans to do away with Shari'a law at the same time, that day isn't today.
