Note: If I had a 'witness protection name change" service for this question I would offer it.

I am a woman, and I would vote against a female president on principle. Anyone woman who would be any good for the job would be smart enough not to want it.

[Tax-chick]

Yes, I would vote for A Woman, if that woman represented what I believe, and demonstrated ability to lead. Jeanne Kirkpatrick comes to mind, although she's faded from the scene, and of course Lady Margaret Thatcher isn't available ... but an appropriate woman would have my vote.

Maybe not a "woman", but certainly a lady.

[the gillman@blacklagoon.com]

A woman, yes. Hillary, no!

[dark_lord]

My observation is that probably more men would vote for a "qualified" female for President than women would. A Margeret Thatcher type might get a majority of the male vote. I will get flamed for this, but I suspect the more women who vote in a given election, the less chance a woman would have to win that election.

Due to the volatile nature of the world, special interest groups trying to turn our country effeminate, and the leadership of national women groups are RAT and in all likelihood replace Monica Lewinsky with themselves when the subject becomes Bill Clintoon, I wouldn't vote for a woman running for prez and I'm a woman.

Wished it hadn't been pulled to chat as believe this is a credible question with interesting intelligent responses. This was not meant to poke humor at the possibility of any woman becoming President of the Unites States. I think this is a very valid question..that is not spoken about openly..perhaps not PC.

By the way many of us never bother to do 'chat'..and I hate that term.

Sure, if she is qualified for the job. Someone like Condi Rice, or Margaret Thatcher.

[Don Corleone]

The question would be..."Would the rest of the world accept a woman as the spoksperson for the USA?" Quite frankly, I doubt it. Electing a woman might put us at even a greater disadvantage internationally than we are now...with a strong male president. JMHO!

[ConservaChick]

I am a woman, and i would vote for whoever best represented my views on the issues and my values.
Male or Female is not that important to me.
Margaret Thatcher is an excelent exampel of a woman i would be happy to vote for.

[Chummy]

I would vote for a conservative candidate and Leader, regardless their gender, race, ethnicity, and so on. We are all equal as Americans, after all, aren't we?

[Marcus_Vipsanius_Agrippa]

I would certainly be willing to vote for a woman, prviding she met my criteria for qualifications, character, and beliefs.

[1smallVoice]

I am against a woman president for the same reason Bill Clinton was such a failure. He did not have the respect of the armed forces. Bush has that respect because he was a national gueard flyer and has gone out of his way to show respect for those who serve this country. Like Bill Clinton I doubt that any woman would have this respect.

[Scothia]

Unless there appeared a Maggie Thatcher on the horizon, which there is not, I cannot see myself voting for another woman for president. Among my reasons:

*The general feminization of the culture, which I do not perceive as healthy.

*PMS, pregnancy, motherhood, and menopause (yeah, yeah, I know. And I don't care if I get flamed for it.)

*The meanest bosses I ever had were all women.

*Mothers don't make good fathers.
