I think it depends on the woman. I think that in general more woman volenteer for woman's and children's charities because those subjects are closer to what we deal with everyday. Betty Ford had breast cancer and spoke out about that John Edwards wife also spoke out for breast cancer. Jean Kennedy Smith I believe started Special Olympics. Laura Bush also worked on childrens issues being a teacher. So yes I would have to say that I feel a woman president might work for woman a bit more then a man would.

But if you really looked you could find just as many men starting charities like this as well and speaking out against such things. You just have to look to find them. LOL you don't see many women starting prostate cancer awareness

I am pretty sure Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded the Special Olympics. I have a little brother who has competed, and I am fairly certain it was her...


Ah, a quick Google agrees with me.

Just as a supplementary question, if I might, if all of the current front runners washed out of the primaries, and we were left with the following people running for president, who would you vote for?

Elizabeth Dole, Republican, North Carolina (President)
Olympia Snow, Republican, (Vice President)

VS

Zell Miller, Democrat, GA (President)
Joe Baca, Democrat, CA (vice President)

I would probably start looking at 3rd party candidates.
Olympia Snow for President - I could support her.
