text: do you think a woman could win the u.s. presidency? it seems like hillary clinton may be the democrat's top choice for the 2008 election.  there has never been a female president so i wonder if she could win. hillary will easily take the democratic nomination.  but she has no chance in the general election.  too much baggage.  moderates and independants will never vote for her.  the only way the democrats can take the white house in 08 is if hillary bows out.
