do you honestly think that the men of today will elect Hillary for president?

Although it is 2007, it is still very much run by men, (badly I might add), but nevertheless this country has been dominated by men for centuries and women have always been looked at as inferior or unequal. do you think that men who are the majority will take Ms. Clinton seriously and vote for her. I sure hope so, because aside from her being a female, I think she focuses on very important issues and I have a level of trust in her that I don't have in the other candidates

I don't think the majority of men would vote for Hillary.The reason may still be that she is a woman. But also many men are Republican and wouldn't vote Democratic.Believe it or not, there are more women than men, but more men vote so it will be hard for Hillary to win.

It is sad, but oh so true. I have heard many people say they would not vote for her, but I think she is a very strong and caring person and maybe she would be able to fix some of these issues concerning the United States itself and not problems overseas with a little more compassion than our previous war-happy president. It's just a thought. Thanks for your response.

If she doesn't get to the White House,she can still make a huge difference in the Senate. It is sad but the real power these days may lie in Congress, not the White House.So Hillary can, like Senator Kennedy before her,stay in the Senate and make a difference.

I say probably not. I mean unless she is a good motivator I doubt many men will vote for her. This country (if not, the world) is still run by men. Looks like all of the repulican nominatees are white males. You also have to remember that the opponent will have good important issues to talk about as well.

Yes this country is still run by men. I'm not saying I've sat down and listened to everyone's points of views or debates, but from what I seen so far I think Hillary is on the right track. Maybe this country still doesn't have the mentality to look past someone's gender and look at the bigger picture which is bettering this country. thanks for your response.

You asked a question, and I will try to answer it; WHO's to say WHAT the men will do, but I do know this much, the way our country is today, a man did that. Whomever takes on the role after he goes I hope they know they'll need a shovel to clean up what he left. Here we are in 2007, not even the election year itself and we got folks out there campaigning for your vote already which lets me know that this coming election will be a unique one, and we as a people have to do the right thing by putting the right person in the White House.

You are right, whoever steps into that seat will have a huge mess and debt to clean up after Bush gets through playing president in the White House.

What have you been smoking? The US is the last civilized country NOT to have a female leader. Look at Britain and Germany!

I have still met and heard many of men talking with chauvinistic attitudes that do not want or think women can run the country. It is still very much ignorant men and people in general out there who won't even give her a chance just because she is a female.

Read Trance Formation of America by Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips and you would see the true Hillary Clinton.
(I think America banned the book)
You would see Hillary and her husband are tarred with the same brush. Neither are fit for the top office.
It is sad they go to extroadinary lengths to conceal from the public their real lives.
Best get rid of both of them asap.

Having just read the Trance Formation of America, a book every thinking American should read, i could no longer trust or vote for Hillary Clinton.
As for voting for a female president-of course i could if there was one worthy standing.
Unfortunatly Hillary is a two sided person living a lie and deceiving the american public.
Best look at an alternative. That said, yes men have been too long in control but i doubt there is yet an alternative. I just hate the way you need money to get anywhere in politics. We only get a choice of who is worst. Black or white, male or female, i just want one honest applicant--big ask eh.
