The only female Republican worthy of the presidency is called Olympia Snowe
The maverick, and I mean REAL maverick who constantly votes her conscience and sides with her Democrats, while as many times also standing by her conservative ideals. She is the epitome of a centrist. Her approval rating always hovers 80% in her blue state of Maine.

1. Agreed
Obviously I don't agree with her on everything, but she is one of the very few respectable Republicans these days.

4. They telegraphed that its not about whether she is worthy,They are going to say they are us .
And assume people wont know. Its exactly like the wording on referendums here you have to vote yes to say no to something.

5. She's okay, and serves her state well....
but her voting record in the last 8 years has not been that great.

7. I would seriously consider voting for her if she ran
And there are very few Republican I would ever even consider voting for. But I really respect Olympia Snowe...she had the courage to stand up to Bush even when he was popular. She has a great resume and a strong record of working across party lines. I am glad McCain did not pick her, because she could have made him really competitive for the Clinton voters.
