Thanks, JF.   Well, at first glance it seemed Mr. Aiken was waxing eloquent about electing the first female president.  True, he does go 
on to describe the wish-list of other attributes he hopes this woman has --- but note that he emphasizes the chromosome count first 
and foremost.   ("That woman must be ... she must be ... she must be ... when she comes along ...)

One would hope that the presidential election was about picking the best qualified person, not making a symbolic gesture.  :-/
