And by the way... here's a list of countries who have had women leaders.

Mongolia, People's Republic of China, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia Iceland, Great Britain, San Marino, Malta, Guinea Bissau, the Philippines, Haiti, the German Democratic Republic, Nicaragua, Burundi, Sri Lanka, Liberia, Ecuador, Guyana, Switzerland, Latvia, Panama, Finland, Indonesia, Georgia, Israel, and India.

In the words of Ann Richards, "Ginger Rogers did everything Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels."

But on a more relevant note... a lot of women were excited and inspired in the early days of Hillary Clinton's campaign. Then, after Obama rose to fame, a lot of women became very bitter and turned on each other (my house, for one, was divided.)
Now, a number of formerly militant Hillary supporters are talking about voting for McCain or not voting at all.

Use your head. If you refuse to vote responsibly, you deserve whatever you get. I, for one, refuse to set my personal and political beliefs to the side based on the genders of the candidates.
