None of the above get the hipster vote,
I'd vote for Yulia Volodymyrivna Tymoshenko.
You probably haven't heard of her ;)
I'm General Patton.

I wouldn't really want any of the names on the list. So other.
"Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that "all men are created equal." We now practically read it "all men are created equal, except negroes" When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read "all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and Catholics." When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty -- to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy." - President Abraham Lincoln.

So if there was ever a female politician that was really sexy and had the knowledge to run a country she would be unstoppable at the polls?

If there was a kitchen in the Oval Office you can assume who ever runs it gets paid for it, making it a job, meaning a woman can't do it. Unless you're suggesting the president's wife cook for him, but then you're taking jobs from American chefs.

That being said, Margaret Thatcher comes a close second to Helen Clarke.

Thatcher, if I recall correctly, ran around privatizing everything. Auntie Helen did the opposite.

That said, I did have a friend who crank called the Edge and did his very good impersonation of Helen over the phone.

I know they came from the opposite sides of the political spectrum, but what I'm saying is that they both had balls and were more manly than most male politicians. I wasn't a fan of Clarkie anyway. The only thing she failed to do was rename Wellington into Helengrad.

Foreign national Rosie Huntington Whiteley has a better chance of being elected President of the US than Palin, Bachmann & Pelosi.

The real question: Who would win in a debate between Palin, Bachmann and Megan Fox?

If you want to see pole dancing in the White House, look no further than Marcus Bachmann.

We did experience a period of prosperity following the global boom after 9/11 slump but the incessent need for nationalisation and increasingly restrictive social policies is probably the main reason why she was voted out.

True, she wasn't all the bad, but John Key is better.

However, how could we let someone that ugly become the most powerful person in New Zealand? Her parents should've said "We're both too ugly, let's not have any children". Ah, don't get me started...

I miss Facelift.

That said, how the hell did we end up with a man who openly talks about his vasectomy?

So do I. The Helen Clark and Don Brash sketches were brilliant.

Good question with the vasectomy. I'm sure the journalists felt pretty awkward after he said that.

Pssh, women can't be presidents, who will then make me my sandwiches and bring me my slippers and pipe? :p

I joke of course. I don't know. I'm sort of uneasy about Hillary. And sadly I can't think of any woman politician that I like. I suppose Sabelius, but she's about it.

Sarah Palin, only because I am from Alaska and would vote for her because I want an Alaskan president. It is probably the closest thing we will have to independence. Also, I do think she is an idiot, but one who won't do much (though I thought the same about the second Bush, and look how that turned out).
Hillary Clinton is probably the smartest out of all of those listed. Pelosi is just a left-wing Sarah Palin, and not half a good-looking.

To be honest, wouldn't make a difference. Obama's presidency didn't wipe out the gap between how well-off blacks and whites are or racial discrimination. A female prez wouldn't do a whole lot for women either.
