Robert Kennedy
They are both running for the nomination of the Democratic party. The winning nominee will face Republican candidate John McCain in the election.
Barack Obama is the only president to have a viable female opponent and that was only for the Democratic nomination. Hilliary Clinton made a strong shpwing in the primaries in 2008 but Obama eventually prevailed.
He was being seriously challenged for the nomination by Robert Kennedy. He could see that just getting the nomination would create a divisive battle in the Democratic party and if he did succeed in winning the nomination, he was by no means certain of getting elected. His Vietnam policy had become very unpopular, especially with young adults.
i'd right it down if i knew it but i don't so please put answer in right away Thanks
Its a campaign geared towards winning a primary election.
In 1968, Hubert Humphrey entered the Democratic primaries as a candidate for the presidential nomination. However, he did not compete in any of the early primaries, as he was initially the sitting Vice President and relied on party establishment support. Instead, he focused on winning delegates through the Democratic National Convention. Ultimately, he secured the nomination despite significant opposition and unrest within the party.
Hilary Clinton tried for the Democratic nomination in 2008. She came close to winning but lost out at the end.
She was not nominated , but she entered primaries and made a serious campaign for the Democratic nomination. No woman has ever been nominated for president by a major party. There have been some women who ran as protest candidates with no hope of winning.

to research a candidate's chances of winning the party nomination and the general election.
The answer to your question is no, there has not been a female president yet; but in 2008, Hillary Clinton came very close to winning the Democratic nomination, and she received millions of votes. Many supporters of an eventual woman president saw that as a very hopeful sign.
