We might have fun,yes,but that will be it.
Our mayor is a gay man too..

I think if she was running for Prime Minister people would care a great deal.
And the Mayor is very much closeted. I remember how much I laughed at the Porn Festival this year when the German organiser said that the gay mayor of Berlin was sending this greetings to the gay mayor of Athens. The interpreter totally refused to translate that one.

No. For some reason I've always thought ol' Bill was hot.

Meee too, Soj...... it was great being a kid in the 70's!!  I was too young to care about the fashion, but the cartoons and toys were the absolute best. I did hate my bell bottoms though..... they always got hung up in my bicycle chain!!

I think America is much more ready for its first black President than for its first woman President, and especially so if that woman is Hilary. There are so many people who passionately HATE Hilary, even Democrats. Hilary is everything that traditional sexist nutjobs hate and there are still so many of them in our nation. And to most of 'middle America' she's just too divisive and I dont think she can win a national election.
However, Obama + Edwards is nearly unbeatable from that standpoint. Edwards is the 'safe' white Southern male candidate that makes Obama safer. That who my money is on, in any order: Edwards and Obama.

um and why isn't America ready for its first woman president? Don't get me wrong- I think a black president would be great for our country also, but IMO Obama isn't the one.

Hillary + Bill Richardson=Women & Latinos in Colorado/Texas/Arizona which strikes a key GOP weakness on immigration, Democrats don't 'need' the black votes because they already get 90% (although a lot of people would correctly say they take it for granted)

Thats not my view, though I hate Hilary. Like it or not, there is still rampant sexism and discrimination in our country. The glass ceiling is alive and well. And when it gets down to it, there are so many who feel uneasy electing a woman President because of the perception that women lack the guts and ability to handle war-time decisions and to go toe-to-toe with the men in negotiations.

Bill Richardson will quell some of that. He's a governor with a lot of foreign policy experience.

Well condomskeeza rice surely hasn't advanced women's role in government any.. she's either been incompetent, absent, or shopping for shoes.

I think I need to "roll" Condi and make off with that outfit. Including the shoes. She's probably got huge feet though, I'd have to stuff the toes.

That's why we women (and men) need to try and change that  Personally, I would love having another Clinton in office. It's certainly better than another Bush

WORD.
I also think Colin Powell would have made an interesting candidate and possible president (esp. over Obama). Colin Powell's chances for ever running were screwed by Bush & Co. which is why he's been speaking out more and more. I'd love to read a tell-all book by him but a lot of the stuff is classified. Still, it would be a very satisfying read if he came out with the stuff he could come out with.
