My own experience shapes my perspective, I'm sure, but I get the impression that most people who are actively upset at her right now went down a similar path to mine. At the very least, I know that my friends and other people I've talked to face-to-face have gone down this path. Those opinions aren't rooted in sexism.
Count me in that group as well. I had absolutely no problems with Hillary up until a few months ago... but right around the same time that the whole Reverend Wright thing blew up (the first time), that was when the tide shifted for me. I started leaning towards Obama from an otherwise neutral position between him and Hillary, and I've just kept leaning more and more heavily towards him as time goes on.
