I worry about that too. In fact I'll take it a step further:

I worry about how many usually staunch conservative women will vote for Hillary just because she is a woman.

Case in point:

My EX-wife was a very good conservative, voted Republican straight ticket most times, espoused strong conservative values at every opportunity.

Yet she voted for Janet Napolitano for Governor in Arizona because she thought it was important for a woman to get into high office....

And get this: She knew Napolitano personally (as a patient) and absolutely despised her as an arrogant, nasty, rude b...uh. witch.

So, that makes me wonder how many other women with good political instincts will vote based on gender rather than what they know is sane.

It's enough to make me despair that women ever got the vote. I hear stories like this fairly frequently. And I'm the opposite (so hopefully there are more women like me to balance the soccer mom types out) -- I'm less likely to want a woman in the WH just because she's a woman.
