American VoicesPolitics ISSUE 35•01 Jan 13, 1999

Elizabeth Dole's recent decision to leave the Red Cross is regarded by many as a sign that she will run for president in 2000. What do you think about the prospect of a first-ever female president?

  • “Haven't we learned our lesson about letting a woman into the Oval Office? What if she started giving people blow jobs? It'd be disaster all over again.”

    Barry Sims –
    Stockbroker

  • “Bob Dole would make a glamorous First Lady.”

    Emily Weston –
    Insurance Agent

  • “I warned this would happen if we gave women the vote. Now they're all drunk with power.”

    Oscar Grosz –
    Systems Analyst

  • “Anyone with half a brain knows that women are just as capable of leading as men. Just look what a good job Captain Janeway has done.”

    Kathleen Riegert –
    Student

  • “A woman can't be president, because she might get PMS and make bad decisions. Only male presidents can properly control their hormones.”

    Sunil Shahpura –
    Cashier

  • “I think there should be a woman in the White House, but not Elizabeth Dole. She's just not hot enough.”

    Kevin Dobson –
