I'm getting happier and happier knowing that Clinton is getting farther away from being elected President.

 I would like McCain to win, but honestly, I'd be okay with Obama as our President.

Name a single American female politician with "charisma".  They do not exist because we do not let them exist.  We always label them as too weak or too manly.  It's just how it is.

Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska

Sen. Olympia Snowe
Gov. Janet Napolitano
Sen. Amy Klobuchar
Sec. Condoleezza Rice

 The list can still continue to go on and on.

Sarah Palin - An ex beauty queen whose national prominence is negligible  
Olympia Snowe - Dismissed within her own party
Janet Napolitano - Has all the charisma of Bill Richardson
Amy Klobuchar - So charismatic that only political wonks have heard of her
Condi Rice - Are you kidding me?  The Ice Queen

Alright fine, a woman will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be President, and will never be an imporant figure in American politics ever again because Hillary will not win the nomination.

 No go cry in the corner, emo.

You guys keep throwing up 3 types of names.

1. An obscure albeit pretty female politician who has, at most, a state election under her belt.
2. A woman in a powerful position but not one who would traditionally be considered "charismatic" (ala Pelosi or Rice).
3. A governor or senator who has been around for a while and is a female equivalent of a Joe Biden or Bill Richardson.

Where is the female Barack Obama?  Where is the female John Edwards?  Heck, where is the female Ron Paul?

Hell, why don't you tell us! We've given you examples and you keep shooting them down.

I agree completely with Wakie's astute thesis about america's profound sexism.

 I wouldn't say America's sexism, as I would the democrats sexism.

I see two who could, and two more who have a good possibility in the future.

I'm going to guess that you think that Palin and Klobuchar are the "possibility in the future".  But you really think that Snowe, Napolitano, or Rice could make a run that would any more successful that Bill Richardson's campaign this year?



  Yup, that is correct.  They are all amazing women, and are terrific campaigners. They have tremendous records to run on, and would have an excellent run for the White House if they wanted to go for it.

Edit: Wait, I forgot who I was talking to.  I mean to say no, they have no future being President, because they are women. Women can't run because we don't want them to do things, like being President, and stuff. Look at Hillary. She is super awsome, but she can't win. Thus, nobody will ever win.

   And you know what that makes me? That makes me a saaaaaaaaaaaaaaad panda

My point is that many of the attacks on Hillary would have been considered ridiculous if they were attacks launched on any of the the other candidates.

Um, what attacks are those?  If she were a man, I would have said identical things about her.

Wait..she isn't a man?
