John McCain has fundamental problems with women:

"I cannot see a more counterproductive candidate for women," said Jillian Manus-Salzman, a leading California Republican activist and generous GOP donor in the nation's most populous state, an ATM for presidential campaigns. "I cannot vote for McCain."

Susan Eisenhower - granddaughter of the late GOP president Dwight Eisenhower and a Washington D.C.-based expert on foreign policy and national security issues - said today she is backing Obama over McCain because the Democrat shown more understanding of how the Iraq war, the economy, and other key issues affect their daily lives.

And Harriet Stinson, the 82-year-old founder of Bay Area-based Republicans for Choice, said that - after 60 years of Republican registration - she has finally re-registered as a Democrat.

"I couldn't take it anymore," she said, arguing that on issues like funding birth control and supporting sex education, McCain "couldn't be worse."

He's on the wrong side of the issues, and people are figuring it out.
