a woman as president

Commander In Chief, the new show on ABC is on tonight so i am thinking about the idea of a female president. [i watched the premiere episode, missed it last week.] i like the show and like the idea of portraying a female president. but this shocked me:
Overwhelming majorities of Americans feel comfortable with a woman President of the United States, (79%), Vice President (84%), and as a Supreme Court Chief Justice (90%), according to a poll conducted by Roper Public Affairs commissioned by The White House Project, a national non-partisan organization created to advance women's leadership across sectors, including the U.S. presidency. The growing support for women’s leadership at the highest level is expressed especially in the poll through a finding that a majority of Americans feel men and women are equally suited to handling today’s complex issues of foreign policy, homeland security, and the economy.
i think someone was lying. i can't believe that we would really have a female president anytime soon. much to my dismay.

i asked my sociology classes last semester if they thought we would have a female president or a black president first. the majority of students said a black president. what do you think?
