I'd love to believe that, but I wonder if the poll respondents might be skewed, or lying. Lots of people answer gender/race questions one way to not look bad, but deep inside feel a different way.

Okay, maybe a conservative, at least slightly religious woman, because that'd get most of the red states interested enough, and there would be centrists and even some lefties who would vote for her just for being female.

I don't think Hillary could win right now. Not until the political pendulum swings back to the left, and I fear we haven't had it bad enough to cause that yet. She could be a strong choice for veep.

Maybe Elizabeth Dole could win if she was veep first to a more sensible, more mainstream Republican prez like McCain. Maybe. I don't know.

No way on Rice. 1) She's pissed off too many moderate Republicans. 2) She's sufficiently neo-con and insufficiently religious to capture the really polarized voters on the right and left. 3) She's black. There are too many racists who won't vote for her on that alone, and the female thing won't help with those folks for the most part. 4) She's got too much of a dirty record to point to. Too many ugly clips can be shown.

I'd love to believe a female prez is possible, but I have insufficient faith in the electorate.

Those are good points. I guess it's just been long enough since the last let-down that, I dunno, I've forgotten to be angry and have started having faith again.

You know, this house has fairly narrow doorways. You should avoid pumping up my ego bad enough that I won't be able to get my swollen head out the door!

Well, that would help insure you stay in bed like you're supposed to...
