I'm simply going by the fact that around half of the country voted for the McCain/Palin ticket, which presumably means that she's suitable. As President she would obviously be a role model for millions of women.
I believe that Obama got about 53% of the total vote, not 60%...
69% of GOP Voters Say Palin Helped McCainSixty-nine percent (69%) of Republican voters say Alaska Governor Sarah Palin helped John McCain's bid for the presidency, even as news reports surface that some McCain staffers think she was a liability. Only 20% of GOP voters say Palin hurt the party's ticket, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Six percent (6%) say she had no impact, and five percent (5%) are undecided. Ninety-one percent (91%) of Republicans have a favorable view of Palin, including 65% who say their view is Very Favorable. Only eight percent (8%) have an unfavorable view of her, including three percent (3%) Very Unfavorable. When asked to choose among some of the GOP's top names for their choice for the party's 2012 presidential nominee, 64% say Palin. The next closest contenders are two former governors and unsuccessful challengers for the presidential nomination this year -- Mike Huckabee of Arkansas with 12% support and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts with 11%.

I was thinking of Mary Robinson and maybe even Merkel, though I do not necessarily agree with her an everything.
Golda Meir - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Golda Meir was elected Prime Minister of Israel on 17 March 1969, after serving as Minister of Labour and Foreign Minister. She was described as the "Iron Lady" of Israeli politics years before the epithet became associated with British prime minister, Margaret Thatcher.[2] David Ben-Gurion used to call her "the best man in the government."[3] Meir was Israel's first female prime minister. She was the world's third female prime minister, but the first to hold this office without any prior family connection.[4] Meir was often portrayed as the "strong-willed, straight-talking, gray-bunned grandmother of the Jewish people."[3]
