From the women voting perspective, it will be:
Married vs. Single...and we all know how this should turn out.
Unfortunately you bring up a very valid point - McCain's marital past does not sit right with a lot of married women. I'm not going to ask somebody to go against their morals, and as much as I hate that McCain is the GOP nominee, I would say that women will have to ignore McCain's past and vote with their heads. My wife doesn't agree with that, and while she wouldn't vote for Obama, it would be very hard for her to vote for McCain.

Married women are more likely to be conservative than unmarried women (unmarried, divorced, widowed), for a variety of reasons.
One is the view of government as a source of security and support because there’s no hubby in their lives.
Another is that conservative women see the demands of the single/liberal women as putting more tax burden on their families and causing them more hardship.
