X Chromosomes in 2016

The 2016 presidential election is approaching faster than we care to acknowledge and it's about time for an alpha female to sit in the Oval Office. America has had a long affair with Hillary Clinton. Her loyal followers are pining to see Bill as First Man. I'll admit to hopping onto this bandwagon. But what about some other ladies that are rocking the political scene? Is it too naive to ask for multiple X chromosomes on the 2016 ticket? Here's a quick preview at some possible female presidential candidates, barring no major political gaffes in the next three years. This is wishful thinking- but thinking nonetheless. Here are four women - two conservative and two liberal, who have enough political capital to at least be thought of for 2016.
