Ahem...

I would if I could...
Vote for a Muslim
Vote for a woman with no husband or a woman with a wife
I'd vote for a Hispanic man or gay black woman during my life
Vote for a Jew
Or a Midwestern man or two
I'd vote for a Japanese woman or a Southern gent
I'd vote for an Alaskan or Indian, no matter which way they went
All this is to say what matters is your political perspective
Not silliness of general attributive

Magritte,

I think that many of us just want leaders that are supportive of some of our ideas. Candidates that are too rigid, or set in their own philosophy; will not bend to the will of the people.

By the way; we have had 44 male Presidents. Even though females are approximately half of our population. We are long overdue to have a President from the opposite sex. If she would do a rotten job; we could always wait for another 44! I do think that there are some great female leaders – I just wish that we would give one a chance.

Did you mention you would vote for a white Christian man?

...didn't think so.

I totally agree. I cannot believe we have not had ONE female president by this time in history.
