Yes, we can.

i gotta admit: Clinton would bring out Republican voters, and Obama will not inspire that much vitriol. So far in the primaries, Democratic voters have vastly outnumbered Repulicans.

I'd hate to upset that particular apple cart. So on a strategical vote, I'd vote for Obama. On my equally non-substantive historical symbology vote, I'd vote for Clinton.

Many people will be voting for electoral strategy. Are those votes any more vapid than my gender-based vote?

Agreed. I've always held that voting based on the pundit-defined notion of "electablilty" is not only patently lame, but ultimately self-sabotaging as it tends to lead to selecting the blandest candidate possible (John Kerry much?).
