i was listening to a radio station yesterday afternoon and a couple of clinton supporters intereviewed stated that they were still not convinced that obama was good choice and they were still thinking of voting for mccain or staying home.
this was just yesterday!
i'll try to catch the radio program again today to see if obama's speech made any difference.

I still think that the majority of true
Hilary supportes love her, not just any woman, but her. Those that want to vote for McCain were going to do so because
Hilary, specifically, wasn't going to be the nominee, and not because a woman wasn't on the ticket. And they said this before he chose a woman.
Even if it wasn't policy, it was less about gender, than it is about
Hilary, specifically. If it was about gender, Elizabeth Dole, who ran for president back in 2000 would have made a bigger splash.
