At the end of the 21st century’s first decade, Americans have decided on the women they admire the most — and their picks might surprise some. (Although probably not if they’re looking at these photos.)
One is a woman who once lived in the White House — Hillary Rodham Clinton. And the other is a woman suspected of harboring ambitions of living there someday — Sarah Palin.
A Democrat and a Republican. A former senator and a former governor. Two polarizing politicians, both moms, both bestselling authors, both who lost their bids for one of the nation’s top elected offices last year.
Are American voters dropping a hint here?
According to a new survey just released by USA Today and the Gallup Poll, the 62-year-old Clinton barely beat out the 45-year-old Palin as the most admired female — 16% to 15% in a poll of 1,025 adult Americans.
However, because the poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points, it’s statistically a P-C draw.
Oh yeah, Bush came in second to Obama.
#1) Mother Teresa

Just in time,
I too admire Mother Teresa, but I wanted to include only live women in our poll. Were we to consider women who are no longer with us, the list would be quite long indeed!
Go Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#4 freedom,
I do have to admire her ability to quit her job, tell scads of bodacious lies, act like a complete whack-job and still be a media darling. Go figure.
This is so silly. DO we later get to pick which “men” we admire most?
Oh OK just looked at the rest of the story. Still it was dumb dumb dumb. No fault of Art’s. Except he passed it on.
#4: besides all that you mention you should be fair and reveal she only quit her job as senator from new york to become secretary of state under obamanation. she didn’t just quit and do nothing.
