Always thought Germany was a very masculine-oriented country.

they can be elected president in the US.

Yes they can and will in 2012.

they can be elected president in the US.

Yes they can and will in 2012.

and if either party nominates a woman who can hold her own, that's fine.

However, governors who walk off their jobs to do reality TV shows don't.

only two governors to do Reality TV- Blago and Palin.

Seems to fit perfectly.

Margaret Thatcher was elected over 30 years ago. Although Germany does seem to be somewhat more patriarchal than the UK, I don't think Angela Merkel's election is so amazing as to say much about the prospects of a female President in the US. Personally, I think Hillary Clinton's campaign, which established her as the most likely 44th President of the US for months, clearly demonstrated that a woman *could* win, even though one hasn't yet. That being said, I don't see a female President as imminent-- most politicians are still male and we only get a new President every four or eight years.
