As reported here, "Senator Clinton, standing outside an abandoned knitting mill that will become the new home of the National Women's Hall of Fame, said yesterday that she hopes America is ready for its first woman president.
""It just depends on when and if that happens," Mrs. Clinton told ABC TV's Nightline. "Stay tuned."
"Mrs. Clinton continued to duck questions about whether she will run in 2008, saying yet again that she is completely focused on her reelection this year.
"But Mrs. Clinton said that, when it comes to a woman holding what she called "the toughest job in the world, some day it will happen.""
As 2008 draws closer, more and more hints about Hillary's true intentions are coming out, sometimes even from the horse's mouth. Still think she doesn't plan to run for her party's nomination? Think again.
Personally, I really don't have a problem with having a woman become President of the United States. Women have been proving themselves more than capable of being in positions of leadership for decades now, so I don't think it's much of a stretch to see a woman in the Oval Office.
What I do have a problem with, however, is seeing Hillary there, as that would be an unmitigated disaster for our nation. Just consider the eight years of corruption and scandal that plagued her husbands administration. Do we really want to go through that again? I think not!
As for a woman who I think would possibly be up to the challenge of being President, I think Condi Rice is far and away more qualified, even though she says she has no aspirations toward that office. But that could change, as you should never say never.
