Democrats of the US should be grateful that for this election, choosing their Presidential nominee is turning out to be so exciting! Either way, history will be made in 2008 and I think the Democrats will take it all the way so it’s really a win-win situation. Right now, it’s just like watching a football game and both teams have been tied throughout the first 3 quarters and it’s now reaching the 4th quarter. Wowoweee!
So who would I vote for? Hillary all the way! As she said (I think), ‘it took a Clinton to clean-up after the first Bush and it’ll take another Clinton to clean-up after the second Bush’. Taking the serious issues aside for the purposes of this blog, how much pressure cool would that be for Chelsea?! Plus there’s the whole Bill factor…boy, have I missed good ‘ol Bill.
Anyway, I’ve always had an infatuation with women in power. Some of the female leaders whom I have been fortunate enough to have met can not only do what their men counterparts can do but much MORE because they are female. One specific example I have observed is that they can play with more emotions than what most male leaders are capable of.
To be a woman and to excel in the corporate world is not an easy thing to do. But for those who have successfully done so by gaining the respect of their colleagues and at the same time have managed their personal lives well enough to have the right ‘balance’…wow!
I’m not saying Hillary is one of these women. She is far from being my idol and I don’t think there’s anything that would make me want to trade places with her. However, if when she gets elected as the first female President of the United States of America, she will validate all the other women in similar positions. She will serve as an example to show that women are capable of being GOOD leaders.
This is one of the remaining glass ceilings that must be broken and I can’t wait for it to happen!
