(Both should not exist, but I'm trying to be realistic here.)
But when we start talking about specific women, I think Hillary is not that woman. She has too much baggage associated with her past. Most people still see her as Mrs. Bill Clinton, and discount what she has done as a Senator. Some look at BOTH roles, and think negatively of both.
To sum up, I still think Obama will make a great VP.
I just have no idea at this moment who will make a great P.
I can tell you, however, that if either she or he is the nominee, either would get my vote.
