You're assuming that Obama cares about women and will work for women's causes. He has given no indication that he will. Just because somebody calls himself a Democrat, it is not safe to assume that he will be an actual Progressive.
His legislative record is progressive, and his campaign has been on the high road since day one.
Besides, you know for sure, if you are a democrat, that McCain will do the opposite of advocating women's causes.
Your "logic" is equivalent to saying that you'd rather have Charles Manson watch your children than a stranger, because you don't know if they'd be a good babysitter. If those are your only two choices, you would be completely insane to pick Charles Manson. Just as you are for voting McCain, or even refusing to vote for our nominee, whoever that might be. Insane.
