Other notable Republican women who are legit and can run for President.

Ann Veneman- Her profile is huge. She was Sec. of Dept of Ag under Bush. She was also the executive director for UNICEF. She's also the second cousin of George Lucas who brought us Star Wars.

Condoleezza Rice- She has experience. But did being Bush's #1 buddy, help or hurt her? I believe it killed her chances. She should have been McCain's VP choice back in 2008. However, Bush was too unpopular and Rice was a reminder of his failures.

The two women above are far superior in intellect and experience than Bachman or Palin. If the Republican Party is to be taken seriously, they need to begin nominating serious candidates. President Obama is poised to win again in 2012 whether the Republicans like to admit it. Regardless of who wins, we need a real leader who will lead us out of the mess that was created back in 2006-Present Day.
We need to create jobs. We need new ideas. We need real leadership. And most of all, the American people need to come first. Get rid of the non essential foreign aid to all countries until we are back on our financial footing.
