First Lady

I don't really know too much about Jackie K. but I know for sure Hillary Clinton was the best first lady in my day. She is smart, hard working and cares about America and its people. She is polished. She has my vote. I know Cindy McCain would make a wonderful first lady, unlike obamas wife. She is a hard looking person, never smiles, always bitter looking. It does not matter how much they try to work on obamas wife, she just does not have the appeal. I have been a democrat all my life and have voted for 35 years, democrat. This will be the first year I vote republican.

best first lady

Hillary Clinton gets my vote. She was very gracious over on her husband impeachment and she does care about American people more than any other first ladies. Plus she works hard for American people.

First Lady

Senator Clinton gets my vote. She was First Lady for 8 years and Jackie about 2 years.

The "NEW FIRST LADY" needs to make an impact !!!

Who ever becomes the next First Lady...needs to be a strong and outspoken person. She needs to be involved with types of issues that impact the USA and our lives. Her opinion needs to be taken into consideration by all,just the way each citizen wants to be heard. Here's the formula, take the strong activistism of Eleanor,mix it with the strength of Hillary, add a little Jackie for style and then add alot of lawyer background of Michelle Obama. CINDY McCAIN NEEDS TO STAY HOME A JUST THINK SHE LOOKS PRETTY....HOME IN ARIZONA

These First Lady are all DEMS

I am sure it has not failed to capture your attention that the first ladies we are referencing are all wives of democratic presidents. It speaks volumes about the greatness of the democratic party. Eleanor, Jackie, Hillary. The were formidable and unique. Jackie and Jack represent the American dream personified.

I don't believe ANY OF THIS BIAS NONSENSE. You sir NEED TO GROW UP. THE REALIBILITY OF THIS POLL IS AS RIDICULOUS AS OHIO, PENNSYLVANIA, CALIFORNIA, AND TEXAS POLLS THAT SHOWED OBAMA WITH STRONG LEADS OVER HILLARY CLINTON

first ladies

To compare anybody with ER is folly. Who was the first UN Ambassadaor? Who was the first to push for equal opportunity? WHo was the first to push for adequate nutrition for all? Etc, Etc, Etc.

Even tho I adored Jackie Kennedy- Hillary Clinton has my vote. She worked hard for the American People. Hillary Clinton Stepped out of the stereotype of the traditional first Lady.She was inspired and admired Jackie Kennedy- and Eleanor Roosevelt. But she was her own women. Clinton showed dignity and respect for her position and made America a better place. All three are great women leaders on their own and by the way! each had to deal with cheating husbands. In the Roosevelt and Kennedy years- the press and public was not on our TVs every minute and they were not judged by public opinion. I know I was better off in the Clinton years than I am now. Much better off.

Bet your boots I have a "preference"

I'm ready for Michelle to be our next First Lady. She would be literally a WORLD-WIDE symbol (way bigger than Jackie) of America all grown up---past racism and past form-over-substance.

As for Cindy McCain, the heir and operator of large-scale beer dealing, no thanks. Pretty is as pretty does, and the social consequences of all that beer sloshed into the economic under-class for money ain't a bit pretty. Think alcoholism. That's what she and John have peddled to Arizonians for decades.

Best First Lady

Hillary gets my vote
