Well, of course there are disgruntled Hillary supporters, but lots of people with time on their hands set up websites. I hope they represent "up to 10 million" votes, but a few hundred people making comments on a website doesn't mean a lot.
All that said, I hope there is some magic coming. The PUMAS have certainly helped me renew my faith that there are some of the D side who are patriotic.
There is one Hillary supporter here in Oregon who has been at the GOP headquarters in suburban Portland nearly every day. She still has the Hillary sticker on her car. I suspect there are a few die-hards out there, I hope there are as many as they say.
we love this country more than Republicans have ever given us credit for.
I have to admit that before this election I saw Hillary the same way that you and I see Obama now. But exclusively due to the patriotism and class of the PUMAs, I have had to re-evaluate several of my preconcieved notions about her and her supporters. There are some things I can't agree with her on, but I do see her in a different light, and I will offer my sincere apologies to PUMAs for not seeing the difference.
This is the greatest nation on Earth and we Democrats never fail to wake each morning deeply thankful and grateful for the opportunities we have here. We know what socialism is, and know we want no part of this here.
I agree. The times ahead if Obama wins will take a concerted effort by every citizen to make sure socialism or facism does not get planted here any more than it already has infiltrated into our government.
We do not intend for this alliance to be of only this moment — we’ve worked alongside all of you for months now and see we all have more in common than we ever had apart. We will never agree on everything, but let’s all start with our love of country. Our pride in America. Our willingness to work hard together to give everyone opportunities — not hand outs.
We have noticed your work and effort, and I am more than grateful to you, and would love to continue working together on common goals.
Of this, we promise you, our new friends.
My heartfelt thanks for this post.
This is another why Sarah’s selection was so important. Down the road she may be able to hold some of these PUMA’s for the Republican cause. But for now you cannot underestimate the effect that the charisma and grace of Sarah Palin has had on the PUMA’s, affording many of them them an easier pathway over to the McCain camp as opposed to if Pawlenty, Romney or Ridge were on the ticket.
Obama screwed up big time when he slapped Hillary in the face by not asking her to join his ticket as VP. I waited for the announcement that it would be her - knowing we couldn’t beat the two of them together..... but he stole the nomination from her with strong arm tactics and I can imagine her loyal fan base knows how low he will go to get what he wants.
I was wondering why Hillary didn’t question Obamination on all this Ayer, past anti-israel history during her campaign? Surely with their connections they could have gotten their hands on this stuff?
Will it matter if they are in solid blue states? And how did O’bama get to be in our senate while being such a radical marxist?

I suspect there are a few die-hards out there, I hope there are as many as they say.I'm sure they exist. The problem is the way it's written. Very few democrats or republicans sufficiently understand the other to be able to use the relevant lingo. They're too completely different cultures. You can always spot one imitating the other because they *can't* effectively imitate the other group.
Anybody know what Obamination said about 9/11?
You are not Donkeys; for now, we'll call you Pumas. In return, we ask that you think of us not as Elephants, but as the Climbing Fithp. (For reference, click the link and search for "climbing Fithp" using your browser's Find function.)
A Google or Youtube search for LYNN FORESTER DE ROTHSCHILD or HARRIETT CHRISTIAN should prove that these people are for real and very angry at the open theft of the democrat nomination from Hillary. They were up close, disrespected, and dismissed by the messiah express - they won’t be bs’d into backing Obama. Try Democrats for McCain. I believe Lady de Rothschild opened an office in Scranton, PA.
PUMA : because we love this country more than Republicans have ever given us credit for.
We love you. I’ll never forget this message from PUMA’s.
Since Obama’s nomination, I’ve tried to tell people how dangerous he is. I grew up in Chicago and saw this rats’ nest of radicals up close.
My position is unchanged - this is an election for Liberty vs. Socialism. I’ll stand with all the patriots who understand what’s at stake and will fight for this country.
This sounds great, and I hope it is true, BUT,
TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED!! GET OUT AND VOTE!
McCain/Palin 08
I think PUMA help could matter a lot because the more popular vote that McCain gets, the more “street creds” McCain will have—no doubt, there will be many disgruntled Obama supporters not willing to concede a close election that may not understand that in our Republic, the electoral college is the deciding factor.
It seems to me that was the problem in Bush first term—Gore had the popular vote while Bush had the electoral college vote—be good if McCain could get both.
Regarding how Obama got to Senate—there are many threads dealing with how he got seat. I am in Blue state, not voting is unthinkable.

Exactly!!!!!
Thanks. I know about the two women. If they can deliver 4-10 million votes, that’s 6-14% of all Democrats voting, assuming 140 million voters, 1/2 Democrat. If those numbers are real, the race will not even be close.
