My perfect candidate would be a woman.  She would be of African American desent.  This woman would be a mix of conservative and liberal views, because I would want her to have the same views as me.  I would want a candidate who had overcome some obstacles in their lives.  Someone possibly from the streets, who had grown up to understand christian values, and the human race as a whole.  She would not put all her trust in her cabinet, or any other influence around her.  My candidate would be single.  I believe in family values, but I also believe in the independent woman, able to stand on her own, and be strong by herself.  I would want my candidate not only to be single but to be a mother.  Mothers have skills that the male species does not have.  She would be seen as a figure to model in later years.  This woman would not be afraid to step into the male dominated industry and take her stand.  Her name would be Tasha Mack. :)
