June 12 - The mourning period has officially ended. Five days after Senator Clinton gave the nod to Senator Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, prominent women are following suit. Well, they're not exactly singing their praises for Senator Obama, but they are adamantly opposing Republican John McCain.

US Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz was an ardent Clinton supporter.

"John McCain is clearly out of touch and insensitive to the needs and plights of women. And then lets get to Reproductive Freedom, he has publicly taken the position that he believes Roe v Wade is a flawed decision, that must be overturned. You know, there is a perception, amongst some women in America, that John McCain is a moderate. He is the furthest thing from moderate, and particularly on a woman's right to choose..

"So, when it comes right down to, in order to advance the progress that women have made decade after decade, in order to improve the quality of lives, for women ,and their children, the last thing women need to do is vote for John McCain."

Attempting to capitalize on raw emotions of passionate Hillary Clinton supporters, Senator John McCain's campaign points to women who vow to support him. Some leaders of Women for Fair Politics are among the vocal. The internet is abuzz with voters angry with the Democratic Party and pledging to never support Barack Obama.

Representative Wasserman Schultz says lots of work must be done.

"There are quit a few Hillary Clinton supporters that need to be won over, but I feel very confident that once he reaches out and makes that effort women and some more time passes, that women are going to come home because Democrats are their natural base."

Women tend to vote Democratic and polls show Democratic women are behind Obama. But Ellen Malcolm, President of EMILY's List, a women's group dedicated to electing women to office backed Senator Clinton from the beginning of her candidacy says Obama's challenge will be among independent women. Especially older women with out a college education. They favored George Bush over John Kerry in 2004 by 19 points.

"And I think we're going to see these women really understand were the differences are for Senator McCain and Senator Obama on these critical isses, and we're going to see them more and more interested in the Obama candidacy."

These women's groups will begin intense voter education conversations against John McCain. Maybe not a singing endorsement of Senator Obama, but these women vow to oppose John McCain.

Interview: Kathleen Kennedy Townsend on her father, Robert F Kennedy, and Barack Obama

Another high profile former Clinton supporter says Obama still has his work cut out for him. Kathleen Kennedy Townsend is the daughter Robert F Kennedy who ran for president and was killed 45 years ago.

Election Unspun Producer Karen Miller spoke with Townsend about Obama and the lessons of her father's campaign.

"Well, I think what is great about Barack Obama's campaign is that he has been able to get so many people excited, and enthusiastic. I think the challenge, of course, is that unlike my father who was able to get both working, blue collar Americans, and African Americans together, he has not been able to do that. But I hope is, that with my help, and others, he will be able to do that.

"I think the best thing about my father is, he said 'we can have great talk, but we have to get results'. We have to actually make government work, we can't just feel good 'we tried' - we have to succeed.
