First female president? THAT would be the high water mark of her ascencion to the Oval Office. Beyond that, we'd have 4/8 more years of Slick Willie politics. And the ONLY folks who'd really benefit from that are corporate & banking interests. That's what we've got with Obama. His legacy will be that he's the first black president. THAT'S IT. Even tho corporate and banking interests might grouse about him publicly, what has he done to impede them? Hardly ANYthing. Holder's gone after no one - when Wall St. and corporate crooks laugh at the rest of us suckers whose pockets they clean.
Sure - she could straighten out a few more wrinkles in the realm of civil rights. But just as has benefitted the LGBT strata, those would be rights that mean NOTHING against the overall takeover that's marching forward even IN SPITE OF the progressive we've supposedly got now.
As a progressive and a male, I'd LOVE to see a woman in the Oval office! I just don't want one where the REAL VP will be Bill Clinton.
