10. I think the catch is your definition of "terrific."

There are far fewer females to choose from to find a candidate, so pickins is slim, compared to possible male candidates. So it's tougher to come up with a "terrific" candidate from such a small pool. I want a female President, too. It's way past time. We are one of the few First World countries, if not the only one, not to have a female leader yet. But it's hard for people to agree on what makes a "terrific" candidate.

I am hoping someone unexpected steps forward, who has the right stuff. Someone like former governor of Texas Ann Richards, now deceased. Out of the current crop, I think only Harris has a shot at it. But it's very early. There's no telling who will throw their hats in the ring or which way the wind will blow a year from now.
