Her true odds are probably 30:1, she's not a bad candidate but equality hasn't come that far, being a woman is a huge handicap.

Agreed. I think there is a pretty significant percentage of people who simply will not vote for a woman. I don't have a clue how to estimate the size though. I was thinking in the 5-10% range. What do you guys think?

In any case, this is a pretty huge headstart for the republican.
