Madonna Touting Hillary for President

Material girl-turned-children's book author Madonna has gotten behind Hillary Clinton's presidential bid, touting Mrs. Clinton for the White House and while warning at the same time that sexism might undermine her campaign.

"Hillary Clinton should go for it, definitely," the evolving pop queen tells ContactMusic.com. "You've got to start somewhere in terms of women leading the US."

The "Like a Virgin" star complained: "In Europe and Asia and elsewhere, women have ruled over millions."

Madonna blamed sexism for blocking women from the nation's highest office, saying, "In America, men are still afraid of women. And women, I don't think, trust women. I find that amazing."

Even though she wants to see the former first lady throw her hat into the ring, Madonna expressed doubts about her chances, cautioning, "I don't think maybe now is her time, or the Democrat's time."
