Some prominent GOP women are expressing concerns about John McCain for president. Among them:

-- Jillian Manus-Salzman, Atherton literary agent, GOP activist and a generous donor to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger: "I cannot vote for McCain. I cannot ...we don't want to be perceived as a one-issue vote. But in this case, the Supreme Court is in play, medical advancements are in play ...to ignore his positions ... and simply say, 'We're going to agree to disagree?' " I don't think we can do that."

-- Susan Eisenhower, granddaughter of former GOP President Dwight Eisenhower and now a Washington strategist and consultant, and lifelong GOP voter: "The war issue is a strong one ... as lower-income, middle-American families are taking a disproportionate share of the burden. ... It really touches the lives of women who are left behind while their husbands are deployed overseas and families who have lost a loved one."

-- Harriet Stinson, 82-year-old founder of Bay Area-based Republicans for Choice, who said that after 60 years as a Republican, she has reregistered as a Democrat for the first time: "If he overturns Roe v. Wade, what criminal penalties would he propose?" she said. "He's had a terrible record (on reproductive rights). He's zero, he couldn't be any worse ...he's all against big government, and he wants big government ... to get involved in the most private decision women can make. And a lot of women have no clue on how he is on this."
