CINCINNATI (Reuters) - Homemaker Mary Mardis, 52, liked U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton but now she's not sure who she'll vote for in November. Maybe Barack Obama, who beat Clinton to win the Democratic nomination. Maybe Republican John McCain."I was leaning toward Hillary. Now I'm undecided," said Mardis as she wheeled her baby nephew through a Cincinnati bookstore. "I will vote, but I'll probably be one of those people who decide two days beforehand." Since Clinton conceded to rival Obama in the Democratic race on June 7, there has been endless speculation about the intentions of her disappointed female supporters.Would they refuse to support Obama? Not vote in November's presidential election? Or worse, throw their support to Republican McCain? Everywhere, it seems, there are examples of each. Furious loyalists of the former first lady protested at a Democratic Party meeting in Washington, vowing to bolt from the party if Clinton did not win the nomination. I've been taking a poll.......every female I've talked to feels pretty much the same way......Hillary was the glue to the Democratic ticket and again, even though she may have made some mistakes and had a stigma of endless past ghosts and demons (who doesn't), it amazes me that the male persuasion isn't getting it?! Or are they??? Are they scared that a woman MIGHT just have the guts, savvy, inclination of insight and foresight to see that it is time for HER OR SHE to do this ticket??? Hillary is doing everything she can to get her female base to now move towards the Obama movement (see Hillary Clinton asks top donors to meet with Obama ) and I, like so many others, am now getting cold feet.....I'm scared....don't know what to do......but then again, I'm a woman and I can say that......men won't!
