How long, in your opinion, will it be before a woman is finally elected President of the United States?

This website provides a list of past and present lady leaders of the world. It hasn’t been updated for a while so you can add Laura Chinchilla from Costa Rica to that list also.

These countries with female leaders haven’t exactly fallen to pieces or suffered, as some unfortunate beings may predict, if anything their nation is better for it. So there is no logical reason why a woman shouldn’t be elected.

How long before the US follows suit with these other countries and nations? In this decade? The next? What factors or reasons do you attribute to the lack of women in Presidential power?

I don’t really want this to turn into a battle of the sexes discussion or debate about logic vs emotion. These types of questions tend to follow that path pretty quickly.

On a side note, how would you feel if and when a woman takes up this all important position? Proud? Excited? Indifferent? Apprehensive? Be as honest as you feel.
