    Warren is quite possibly the One who can make a real difference, but I believe in Gillibrand as well. She's got some guts too.

    Oops- I guess I forgot to vote in my own poll.

    I don't want to make turn this into a campaigning thread (wa-a-a-y too early if for no other reason) but there are petitions circulating asking Warren to run in 2016.

    I think Hillary jumped on this too soon (and you can say the same about this thread, really) but I don't think it's too early to start thinking about having a female U.S. President. I don't mean just for the sake of having a female president (Palin, anyone?) but I do think it's time for the U.S. to get it's head further out of our male dominant mind set. These things time time, I understand that, but I think we're ready to take that to the next level.

    Marge Simpson.

    God forbid we have to chose between a Bush or Clinton as our next glorious leader.

    Proper fucked, we would be. Winter is coming.

    ... or air color or kind of car they drive or whether they are a cat or a dog person.

    Hey, wait a dog gone minute! Why is the white house dog always the recognized pet? I think I'm going to vote for the candidate with the cat this time!*

    Martinez isn't well known enough on a national level and Senators make for shitty presidents.

    It's happened before.Very recently.unfortunately(remember the black leaders saying every black persons hat can vote, should be voting for Obama?)
    You aren't expecting the brain trust of his country to vote based on issues alone are you? Media won't have that.

    My friends (Europeans) are living in Mobile AL since two years and they say that Obama is like a cussword there.
    When they go to partys they say you can´t discuss politics. It´s must be awkward...no discussion possible...my friend means if someone only say the president´s name his collegues go crazy...lol He´s very tolerant open person but he quickly decided to not talk politic stuff there...never mind from which position...

    Idk maybe it´s only at his direct environment!

    I know this will just piss of many in America and cause 8 more years of republican blockage but think she has best chance. She's also very intelligent and experienced and be great to have woman backing up minority.

    There has got to be a more competent candidate then another Fraud from Chicago…I mean she couldn't even manage the simple task of keeping ole Billy Boy Happy and had to leave that for Monica.
    The Dems better find someone relevant or everyones biggest fear on here will win this election.

    Abosulety!!!!. Atleast Oprah came from nothing, abused as a kid, raped and then became a Billionare. Not like Hilary who is from uppity Park Ridge and had her whole life mapped out for her utilmate Success....Well success is some people's eyes...she lacked in some obvious skills...lol

    This is an interesting answer, Dan. The poll ask who you would like to see as first U.S. woman president. There is no mention of democrat or republican, just woman.
