If the reasoning behind not voting for someone is religion/race/sex then the pros and cons of voting/not voting for someone is not equal.
If all you see is someones skin color or the God they worship then no they aren't being considered as an equal amongst their fellow candidates.
If people don't want to vote for them so be it but I don't think that the reasons listed above should even be an issue.
If alot of people ignored all ^^^^^^^^(that) then the fact that they are of a different race and the first woman running would never be an issue.

If you want a person who upholds your values and ideals then you should take religion into consideration. I'm sorry but that's a valid attribute to look for in a candidate. Now I don't think race or sex should be an issue but you have to take into account that a lot voters probably find it easier to relate to people of their sex/race which can easily sway a vote or hundred. Anyway, like I said, religion can be important when looking for somebody to vote for and I find nothing wrong with that.
By the by, that's the beauty of freedom, we're allowed accept or be prejudice against anything we want for any reason. What a wonderful woooooooorld...
