Hilary Clinton is probably the most competent in the field. Virtually, everyone agrees that she should have the best chance of wresting the presidency from the Republicans in 2008 and repairing the damage from the wrecking ball of the Bush presidency. She also has Bill Clinton by her side, a formidable campaigner who took to the road for the first time in Iowa this month.
But behind the scenes, Americans are deeply worried at the prospect of having Hillary (and Bill) back in the White House. While she inspires ordinary women voters, men are not so moved and she has the highest voter-disapproval ratings of any top-tier candidate in the race. She also has a big problem with left-wing feminists.
Americans might well ask who is the real Hillary Clinton? Is Hillary a liberal who has been victimised by a "vast right-wing conspiracy", or a scheming political control-freak who will stop at nothing in her bid to become the first Mrs President?
I don't think people of America should be making a big deal out of this. Try to take a look at it from her perspective, being the only female campaigning for presidency. People shouldn't classify her as a feminist just because she is a strong reperesentitive for the female gender. Heck, she's just trying to make a difference and respects her rights and authority of being a female U.S. citizen.

There has never been a woman president for the the United States. I think that's the way it should stay. I'm old fashioned and believe it is not right for a woman to serve as the president because men are not as strong as women. A man should be leading this nation--not a woman--even if it is the President Clinton's wife.
I don't believe Hilary Clinton is being feminist at all. It is just that she is the first female ever that is running to be a president and Americans are not used to the fact that a female view of point is presented in front of them.
