She is "infamous" to many.  ;)

There are several reasons she could be unpopular, IMHO, and none of them
are because she is female.  Most of them revolve around her being a
non-geniune and dishonest person.

There is a woman in Canadian politics now... can't remember her name, but
some tried to get her to run this time... that I think would make a great
leader.  She holds some high position in the federal government.

There are women in this country that I think could also make great
Presidents.  They seem smart enough not to run, though.  The parties, and
the Democrats in particular, seem to weed out anyone who is sensible
sounding very early in the primary season.
