I would have no problem voting for a female Democrat for president. I think a woman in the Oval Office might possibly bring us from the brink of tirany back to a kinder and more gentle America. I believe that it is time for us to stop testing our testosterone and get back to the America I grew up in -- the Norman Rockwell America.
Now here comes the "but" (there always has to be a "but") -- I don't think 2008 is the right time for a woman to run for president. With our disorganized Democratic party, it will be hard enough to take back the presidency without the added burden of trying to get the first woman elected president.
I know that this might be Hillary's only chance, but I think it is more important for the Democrats to regain the presidency than it is to try and elect the first woman to the highest office.
Unless something drastic happens (like average citizens regaining their senses), the fight for the Office of the President will be a nasty, hard-fought battle in 2008.
If she runs, I will vote for her, but I hope she doesn't.
