Reply #7: You know that voters are often single-issue voters

[jcrew2001]

and quite superficial. Voters often vote for people of the same religion, race, state, etc. as their only reason - mostly because they feel comfortable and feel a familiarity with that person based on their lives and personal struggles and history. I would think that many career-minded/independent women are attracted to Hillary because of this and that they share in the struggle of business women everywhere, just as African-american men and woman or Southerns find comfort in Obama and Edwards because they've shared in their life struggles. For Obama, although mixed, has succeeded despite facing racism and being a minority in school, work, etc.
