Well, for me, NOT considering Hillary's gender is idealistic. That is, my ideal is that gender wouldn't play in my vote at all. Sadly, I feel it needs to.
Insofar as "needs to", though, a "consideration" shouldn't decide the vote. That is, I'm a little more likely to vote for her than I would be if she wasn't a woman, but wouldn't vote for her just because she's a woman.
Lastly, for the life of me I can't figure out whether it's spelled Hilary or Hillary.
