>>But there are people who say, in all seriousness, that America just isn't ready for a woman president Ya, but those people are conservative and would never vote for for a democrat, so what difference does it make? << Steve - No, they're not all conservatives. I've seen lots of examples of Democrats saying that they wouldn't vote for Hillary because she's a woman. And some of the people who wouldn't vote for Barack because he's black are Democrats, too. >>Hillary gets crap for not wearing dresses, or for the cut of her pantsuits See how silly this has become? We are now talking about the qualifications of a president depending on if their legs are covered or not. Ferraro has changed the entire discussion away from issues where we were to crap like this. << That has nothing to do with Ferraro. People were giving Hillary crap about her appearance and her clothes long before Ferraro chimed in. It's just a fact that some people are sexist enough to think that a candidate's choice of apparel is relevant if she's a woman. - Allen
