Blog The Vote-We "Never had a mother"

Sen. Hillary Clinton told a TV audience of 3 million women Wednesday that the nation has "never had a mother" be president.

Appearing on "The View" to push the 10th anniversary reissue of her book "It Takes a Village," Clinton chatted about family Christmas and raising kids these days.

The former first lady noted, "We've never had a mother who ever ran for or held that position."

Clinton also acknowledged that the concept of electing a woman president is "such a leap of faith."

The senator, considered the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, raised the issue after admitting this week she didn't know if the country was ready for a female president, but added, "We need to try."
