EMILY's List Pushes for Woman President
Initiative called "Madame President."
The biggest question looming for 2016 is whether former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will run. But the pro-Democratic women's group EMILY's List isn't waiting for Clinton's decision to start advocating for a woman in the White House.
EMILY's List launched "Madam President," its initiative to support a female presidential candidate in 2016, at the National Press Club Thursday. The initiative will include a six-figure digital buy to reach women online as well as events in key presidential states such as Iowa, Nevada and New Hampshire.

Because, what the heck, that minority President thing worked out so well...
Look, as every reasonable, non-sexist person knows, the first thing you should think about when selecting a candidate is what's between their legs. After that's out of the way, you can start worrying about little details like "policies", "competence", "personality", or "baggage".
Worrying about chromosomes over capability has never screwed us before!
