This one was mine.

Quote: PurityOfEssence Hell, it’s long-since past time for a woman president, but I’d rather have a person who has the best interests of the most in mind. She is literally the MOST CONSERVATIVE of all the other candidates. The most. Period. (Well, okay; I’m not really sure about all of Richardson’s positions, but then again, neither is he, and I think that pretty much makes it unanimous.) Why should we throw away the chance to stride boldly into a more decent future just to make this point now? Yes, this might also bring some swing or otherwise not-cast votes from a 51% plurality, but do they outweigh the unfavorables? Methinks not.

55 percent of those polled think America is ready for a woman president.

Ninety-two percent of adults now say they would vote for a woman for president from their political party if she were qualified for the job. This support has increased steadily over the past 50 years.

Women are more likely to become politically engaged when they see women like them in leadership positions. This year was the 87th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. We NEED a woman president and it's time. If not now, when?
