‘Pink’ Eyes Seven Other Women Possibles for President

Sen. Hillary Clinton and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have generated the most talk about a possible woman candidate for president in 2008, but now seven other women are being discussed for that role.

In its latest issue, the magazine Pink declares that the seven women have a “good shot at the presidency.”

They are Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.; Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine; Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif.; Rep. Heather Wilson, R-N.M.; and Democratic Governors Janet Napolitano of Arizona and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.

While Pink – which focuses on a range of women’s issues – “may not be the first place people turn to for political analysis,” the Washington D.C.-based publication The Hill notes, “that could change as more Americans become comfortable with powerful women.”

A recent CBS/New York Times poll cited by Pink showed that 92 percent of respondents would vote for a female presidential candidate from their party.

If Dianne Feinstein is elected president of the US, I'm going to do what George Clooney and Alec Baldwin did, say I'm going to leave the country and then not leave and hope nobody notices.

Feinstein is awful, just can't see her being a smart choice for the democrats.
