Originally posted by der schwarze RitterWould Condoleeza Rice be taken seriously as a contender for the presidency of the United States, or will she be lampooned to the point of distraction that whatever her talents come election time all voters will ever remember will be her skinny legs and her robo-doll walk?
Your question is too leading. Rephrase it to something like: Can Condoleeza Rice become the first female president of the United States?

Is America too misogynistic to elect a female President?
but you have yet to prove America is misogynistic at all.
Sure one can dredge the depths of the sludge pond and find examples
of individual misogynism, but the whole country...please!
