You may have noticed that women are rather underrepresented in the history of the presidency. Why are you not as concerned that women are given the same opportunities that seem to be the focus of your post? Because of this, the rest of your post rings hollow to me.
As she is a highly qualified woman, Hillary Clinton should NOT be excluded from consideration for our 2016 candidates. Republicans will have to "get over it" no matter whom we nominate. If they cannot (as has been the case with PBO), the voters will have the final say.
