Clinton and the He-Man Woman Haters

I was at a party yesterday with some low-information, middle-aged female Clinton supporters.  They didn't seem terribly inclined to support McCain if Hillary is not the candidate, and they seemed a bit confused about whether or not she is still viable in the primary season. One thing they do know, however, is that the Hillary hatred they run into in their daily lives seems both ugly and related to sexism.

Both of these women are in a local improv troupe. They are amateurs, with a local following and fairly frequent bookings, but quitting their day jobs is not anywhere near an option. As the primary season has dragged on, they have noticed an increase in angry calls for Hillary to drop out that come up during improv gigs.  Men (it is always men, they say) have gotten more frequent and more passionate in their calls for Hillary to drop out. Apparently both the men in the troupe and the men in the audience have given voice to this sentiment, but it seems that the men in the audience are more vociferous (probably because the men in the troupe have gotten an earful and keep their comments toned down.)
As I mentioned earlier, these women are low information voters.  Based on our casual party conversation it was clear that neither of them have been following the campaign closely, just the headlines.  They seemed a little unsure about whether or not it is mathematically possible for Hillary Clinton to win the nomination, since there are conflicting narratives in the mainstream media and they don't seem to care enough about the election to have figured out how to find consistently reliable sources. All they know is that, from their point of view, men are rather obnoxiously shouting for a woman to sit down and shut up.
This is not at all how I see things, of course.  I have heard both men and women express how they have gradually been turned off by Hillary's below-the-belt campaigning, and by the outrageous statements that Bill Clinton has been making as well.  I don't see these statements as sexism, but as frustration with a particular individual (Hillary) who appears to be putting her own needs above those of the party.  And I know of plenty of women (including myself) who are just as critical of Clinton's campaign as some men.
I guess my point is that plenty of sexist pigs  have picked up on the idea that it is open season on Hillary Clinton and run with it, and that maybe this, more than anything else, is making it difficult for the Obama campaign to counter the idea, fueled by the Clinton campaign, that Hillary's campaign is being killed by the sexism and bias in the media. From my point of view the ubiquitous attacks on Hillary took off in a big way after Obama had pretty much sewed up the nomination, but millions of low-information voters are unsure when (or even if) Obama attained a virtually unassailable lead.
So, what happens with these low information voters when Hillary suspends her campaign or concedes the nomination?  I'm guessing that for most of them, Hillary won't have to jump on the Obama bandwagon in a big way.  Hillary will concede and fade from the headlines.  The sexist pigs in the next cubicle and in audiences at amateur comedy shows who are upsetting these low-information middle-aged women voters will probably become racist, pro-McCain pigs and drive them into the arms of Obama.
