No, although I'm sure such people do exist.

No, at least not openly.

But I do know a bunch of people who are supporting her just because she's a woman, and they are very open about it.

Which is as stupid as opposing her because of gender.
Eh, it's slightly less ridiculous to support a candidate because you believe her election will lead to greater equality for women than it is to oppose a candidate because 'A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN THE HOME YOU GUYS!' At least the goal is admirable, even if the rationale is seriously flawed.

Yeah, if there were two candidates who were more or less identical in every respect except gender, I'd definitely vote for the woman because of the symbolic value and the potential to change public attitudes on gender. But it shouldn't be a decisive criterion when candidates have significant differences.
