    I think wev'e reached the point where it wouldn't matter which sex or color the prez would be. It would be a novelty for a bit but that would be it.

    Why does it matter? Sex has absolutely nothing to do with how good a person you are or how good a president you'd make. It depends on who you are, your views and qualities as a president. All the good and all the bad ones we've ever had, their sex didn't decide that. There may have only ever been one female Prime Minister, Magaret Thatcher, but she wasn't pure fascist evil because she was a woman. In fact, some people say that part of the reason she was so unpleasant was because she was forced to act like a man (I mean be aggressive, not wear a moustache. But she did anyway). There has never been a female US president so it would be quite nice to see one, but I don't want a president just because it's a woman. There has never been a president who hasn't been white and male. Kennedy was the only one who wasn't white, male and protestant. And, except for a handful such as Kennedy, they've all been white, male, protestant and British in origin. But, again, I don't nessecarilly want one who isn't just because of that. That's just dumb. But it shows something.

    I don't think gender should stop a person from being President, but I don't think it should be the reason they get into office. Being female is no guarantee that they'll be a good leader. As RPJesus said, look at Thatcher- hardly a liberal's dream, was she?
    Interesting point about all the American presidents except Kennedy being protestant. I'd never realised that before.
