Women, on the other hand, vote for either Clinton or Obama by similar margins."

Why is this do you think?

Since the tide turned a little in Hillary's favor, I've read several variations of posts on this site along the lines of 'I used to admire Hillary, but now I don't know if I can even vote for her'.

Along with that goes a stream of fear-mongering articles claiming the Dem party will now be split in half leaving people too embittered to vote.

It makes me think of a bunch of children who get mad and grab up their marbles and refuse to play anymore. As much as I hate to say it, so far the voices I hear loudest are those of men.

Yet back when Hillary was losing at the polls and women were watching her being ridiculed by the press and her daughter refered to as being 'pimped out' and seeing Obama getting treating as the saviour of mankind women were calmly and rationally polling as equally favoring either candidate.

I don't know what is reasonable, if anything, to draw from this observation, but I do find it interesting that women seem to be able to look at this election more objectively....maybe more dispassionatley? Or maybe women tend to vote more for a party as a whole and are less swayed by the personal appeal of a candidate?
