Just interposing my thoughts here, but the rest of the world would have no choice but to accept a female U.S. President.
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.
How so? And how are we now at any kind of disadvantage internationally with Dubya occupying the White House?
FTD...I'd have no problem with a Conservative lady sitting in the Oval Office.
After all, Great Britain didn't do too shabby with Maggie Thatcher running the show.
