This almost makes me wish I had caucused for Clinton instead of Obama.
We've all heard those polls that say Obama beats McCain in the general but McCain and Clinton are tied, right? According to this article, the lion's share of that difference is men. They'll vote for Obama for President, but as soon as you swap him out for Hillary Clinton, they vote for McCain. WTF? Not shocking, but annoying as hell.
You'll also notice in the article that there is no corresponding shift among women voters between Clinton and Obama in the general election. A voting bloc that makes up 51% of the population who has never had a member of their group in the White House supports both candidates about equally. God forbid we cede our 200+ year political winning streak to these subversives.
I'd like to take this opportunity to, once again, apologize for the stupidity of my gender.

Yea, hardly a day goes by when I'm not sorry on some level for being white and male. The "White Males Fucking It Up For Everyone" book gets longer every single day.
