Answer 1

Women have been powerful leaders in the world for decades.  Only in America have their opportunities been so limited.  It may be exciting to us, but to the rest of the world it's a yawn.  Had McCain picked Hillary just because she was a woman, he would have alienated the rest of his base and wiped out any chance he had of winning.  So, believing women will vote for a woman just because she is a woman, he picked a Republican woman without the history Hillary has, and without the experience, not that experience is relevant in the race for President.

And FYI, here's a list of women world leaders:  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
