Default Hillary Rodham-Clinton Speaks About a Woman Being President

I think that we should have a woman President. It is absurd that in an era of supposed gender equality we haven't already had one. I agree with Ms. Clinton about the need for gender equality in the nation's highest office, therefore. However, there is no chance I will vote for her or for Condoleeza Rice- and that is not because they are women but rather because they are not unlike Kerry and Bush, respectively- a populist-leaning Democrat and a neocon. I would definitely vote this woman for President, for example, but unfortunately she isn't running. Here is a link and the beginning of the article:

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. - Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, standing outside an abandoned knitting mill that will become the new home of the National Women's Hall of Fame, said Thursday she hopes America is ready for its first woman president.

"It just depends on when and if that happens," the former first lady said. "Stay tuned."

Clinton continued to duck questions about whether she will run for the White House in 2008, saying yet again she is completely focused on her re-election this year.
