<'backbone', 'guts', 'strength of character' - call it what you will, without gender specificity. I'd vote for a woman president in an Upstate New York Minute if she had the 'balls' some of my female friends do.

You said it! I'm printing up my Condoleezza bumper stickers for 2008 already. My dream match in 2008: Condoleezza vs. Hillary! I'm sure both will be able to easily scrape up some male feeb for Vice President.

Ayn Rand once wrote that a woman shouldn't be President. That was one of about a half dozen things where she was totally full of shit. I would think Maggie Thatcher proved that if nothing else did.
