Presidential Senators ?
Dondi said:
Abraham Lincoln never was a Senator, though he served eight years in the Illinois House of Reps, and only two years in the U.S. House.
You also forget that not only was Hillary Presidental First Lady for eight years, prior to that she was gubernatorial First Lady in Arkansas for 12 years. Now I'm not implying that qualifies her politically in any fashion, nor am I'm trying to endorse her, but she has been exposed to the political arena for a long time, albeit indirectly.
An interesting point about Lincoln.
In addition, to Abraham Lincoln, Dwight D. Eisenhower never held an elected public office until he became the 34th President in 1953.

In the past century, 46 nations have elected women as presidents or prime ministers.

We now have a woman, Rep. Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi, as Speaker of the House. In discussions of presidential hopefuls, we are hearing about qualifications and electability, and very little about gender. Some polls have recently showed Hillary at around 40% and everyone else in the teens. It's not about gender anymore.
It's about the money. Hillary is a proven fund raiser even when she doesn't have any threatening competition. The Republicans wasted almost $70 million dollars trying to oust her from the Senate. In this election, for better or worse, it may be the first candidate to the bank who will be first candidate at the polls.
Can we keep the Executive branch from going to the highest bidder?

Popeyes has a special... It is called the Hillary special... you get 2 large thighs,2 small breast and a left wing... 
I don't have any ill will for Hillary. Personally, I'd like to see it come down to Hillary and Guiliani and make it a New York thing. Then I'd vote for Guiliani all the way! 
So far, he seems to be doing well and is still the front runner amongst the other republican candidates.
