Anyone who votes for McCain-Palin because they're upset about Hillary
is doing it for one reason and one reason alone.

There is absolutely no logical reason for anyone who claims to believe in what Hillary Clinton believes in to skip over Barack Obama to vote for McCain and Palin. None whatsoever, except one. And we all know what that is.

Otherwise, why not vote for Cynthia McKinney?

'nuff said . . .

2. Sorry, I can think of TWO reasons.
1.) They can't bear the thought of a biracial president.
2.) Having a woman in the Oval Office means more to them than anything else.

There have always been one-issue voters.

Not every woman who backed Hillary was supporting her based on her political views. I'm sure some Republican women who crossed over will be happier with Palin.

But I hope some of the PUMAs respond to this. I can't wait to see what they say.

3. Although I'm not a PUMA, just a Tomcat, I agree with your analysis.
I believe in due time the corporate media will play the gender card for all it's worth, in order appeal not to the voter's logic as the O.P. suggests but to their emotions.

For what it's worth I don't believe either gender is immune to being emotionally manipulated.

4. The rather odd PUMA who appeared on Hardball said just what I expected
That this is a brilliant move by McCain that shows what hypocrites Howard Dean and Barack Obama are and will result in 16 years of Republicans in the White House - that's what she said.
