Even though the thought of another political dynasty in office (Hillary Clinton) kinda makes me sick and that I love Obama, I would love to have a female president. Below is a link from my favorite NY Times Op-Ed Columnist. The blurb below that is from the link. Thought it had some interesting points to ponder.
Another way of looking at electability is to wonder whether it's more of a disadvantage to be black or to be female. Shirley Chisholm, the black woman who ran for president in 1972, argued in effect that there were more sexists than racists in America. "I met more discrimination as a woman, than for being black," Ms. Chisholm once said.
