This is a great question. In the past primary contests these voters have broken for Hillary, at least older white women, who are very loyal Democratic voters in the past. But will they vote for Obama? Is the question that some of us are asking. Some pundits are saying that if Clinton is not the nominee then this bloc of voters will not vote for Obama or they will just not vote.
IMO, they will support the Democratic nominee, but to solidify that support the DNC needs to begin NOW to start the process of securing their support. The best way to do that is to use McCain’s most recent speech on judges against him. He basically said that if he was president he would appoint judges that were opposed to Roe v Wade.
The DNC, if they pause slightly, will lose probably about 50% of the women vote. I realize that they are trying to straighten out the crap flying around the Party, but they need to find the time to concentrate of women and their issues, if they want their votes. And if they want the presidency, they need to remove head from butt and begin the process now!
