You're right, of course. How could I have forgotten Maxine Waters and the senator from Maryland and a few others?! I just thought for an office like Pres. it would be more of a factor for women than men. And my dream for years is that our first female Pres. would be a Margaret Thatcher clone, classy and dignified, smart and courageous, a lady and a leader without compromise to either status. Is there even potential for that in the U.S.?

"classy and dignified, smart and courageous, a lady and a leader without compromise to either status. Is there even potential for that in the U.S.?"

That depends. Are there women who are like this in the U.S.?

Looks matter for men. If you want proof go over to one of the Bush Babes threads. Try out A day in the life for a start.
