If you mean party leaders, of course they will support the nominee, but that isn't what counts.
As far as the voters are concerned, you must be realistic, there are a lot of people that will or will not vote for someone based on race and/or gender.
It will be pretty difficult for them to forget that he is black or the she is a female.
Those voting based on the issues . . . well, they are probably in the minority anyway.
