Question, if I may, to follow up on your comment. Te conventional wisdom, FWIW, says that while many tell pollsters they think a female can do the job of president, it is believed that they are stating the PC position..and when they get into the voting booth, they won't vote for a female. I'm curious as to how many females thaink that way..Your take?

Speaking as a very traditional 65 year old female, while I am sure there are women who could handle the job as president, I would not vote for a woman. Younger women might feel differently. I, personally, like having men in charge. Does that answer your question?

I'm not at all so sure of that. I think there are a lot of leftist women that do hate men. They would relish the chance to figuratively flip off the male establishment and would vote for any woman in a heartbeat - just because they could. It would be a real dilemma for them if 2008 were say Kerry vs. Rice to decide whether to vote for the leftie or the woman.

Among more conservative women, I think there are those who are more comfortable with a male in charge.

There are others who would vote depending upon which represented the lesser of the evils on the ballot. condi vs. any democrat or even some male 'centrist/RINOs' like McCain, Hagel, etc and I'll vote condi in a heartbeat. Do I think she's the most conservative or even the best nominee - not necessarily - I haven't made up my mind. I'm just using names as examples.

As a woman, may I give you my take?

The likes of feminists Boxer, Woolsey and Pelosi, clueless Maxine Waters from CA, the shrill voiced Ms. Rodham-Clinton and Landreu are not good female role models for young women. Nor are they examples of clear headed, decisive thinking. They are hysterical, shrill, over emotional human beings who do nothing to portray women in the best light.

They are the polar opposites of poised level headed intelligent women such as: Dr.Rice, Laura Bush, Barbara Bush.

In essence if you want the best of womanhood in office, don't make it a self-proclaimed champion of women or feminists. They are neither.

and when they get into the voting booth, they won't vote for a female. I'm curious as to how many females thaink that way..Your take?

Speaking as a female .. I wouldn't rule out voting for a women as President .. because I think it is possible for a women to do the job

However ... With the exception of Condi Rice .. I have yet to see any possible women candidates that are up to the job

I don't want a Leader that can't suck it up and get the job done
