Yeah, it depends on the individual. Personally, over the past three and a half months I've gone from only slightly preferring Obama over her, to being mildly annoyed by the way she's run her campaign, to now actively disliking the idea of her as president (though not
nearly as much as I dislike the idea of McCain as president). 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.
There are also people who have disliked her from the beginning, and I'm sure sexism plays a role in a lot of that. I'm just not sure I agree that that's where the majority of dissatisfaction with her is coming from right now.
