#1 Wyoming Territory granted women suffrage in 1869. In 1890, Wyoming was admitted to the Union as the first state that allowed women to vote. In 1925, it became the first state to elect a female governor.

Now wouldn't it be ironic for Wyoming to reject the idea of putting the first woman president in the White House?

#2 Now wouldn't it be ironic for Wyoming to reject the idea of putting the first woman president in the White House?

maybe it would be because they have always seen women for their worth as human beings rather than objects to be classified as women? Perhaps they will vote for the person whom they think will make the best candidate rather than base their decision on the shallow fact that she is a woman. sheesh.

#3 What a wishy-washy, esoteric comment woodrow. Do you really believe that bullshit? They want to elect the person they believe will beat McCain. Be it Obama , Shrillery, or the devil himself. Neither one of them, not one of them on either ticket, are worth the powder it would take to blow them to hell.

#6 bigjim - I'm not sure I understand your comment. I was responding to GK's comment

Now wouldn't it be ironic for Wyoming to reject the idea of putting the first woman president in the White House?

My point was that I found nothing ironic about them rejecting the idea of voting for a woman only because she is a woman.

Maybe I'm missing something somewhere.

#7 Now wouldn't it be ironic for Wyoming to reject the idea of putting the first woman president in the White House?

Maybe it has something to do with the specific woman running. If they reject Hillary, I would say it is just good judgment on the part of Wyoming voters.
