Republicans, this is directed at you. Hillary’s Army remains strong, and committed to putting McCain/Palin in the White House. Do not listen to the media. Ignore the trolls. Corral your Eeyores and put them on the endangered species list. Because by our most conservative estimate, you’re going to get 4 million Hillocrats on your side next week, with roughly another 3 million Democrats who voted for Kerry staying home or throwing their votes to McKinney or Nader. That’s 7 million votes Obama has lost from lifelong Democrats — because we love this country more than Republicans have ever given us credit for.
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. Obama’s mission is to weaken this country and put us under the thumb of the UN, like a European socialist state. That’s not what we want.
We will fight tooth and nail to stop him. We’ve sunk everything we have into this — because McCain/Palin are worth it. We believe they will serve this country well, and will work with our champ, the new lion of the Senate, Hillary Clinton, to make us energy independent, to secure good solid jobs for all Americans, and to strengthen and grow our economy in a world stressed and tried in these times.
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. Europe calls Obama’s plans socialism. We call it welfare. Obama says this is change. We paraphrase the McCain campaign because, much to our initial surprise, Clinton Democrats find more in common with McCain/Palin than we do the socialists the current Democratic Party revealed itself to be.
So, all of us centrists stand strongly with you. Please work hard in every way you can this last week. Join us in Ohio if you can — or in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, or Virginia. Let’s make sure socialism is defeated once and for all.
We can do this together. If we work hard, we will win. And after our victory, we will work hard to find other commonalities going forward.
Of this, we promise you, our new friends.
Elephants and pumas together, now and going forward.

A poll was conducted back In June 2008, and it found that the number of Hillary supporters that were going to vote for Obama was 58%, with 28% going to vote for McCain. The rest were undecided.
In September, another poll was conducted, and it found that things were unchanged for Obama. This poll found that the percentages were still 58% going to vote for Obama and 28% going to vote for for McCain, with the remainder still undecided.
If the remainder ends up splitting evenly, that will give McCain 35% of Hillary supporters that will vote for him and 65% for Obama.
18 million people voted for Hillary in the Democratic primaries. 35% of those 18 million voting for McCain on Nov. 4th, 2008, will translate into about 6.4 million votes for McCain - votes that Obama will not get - and would have gotten had he chosen Hillary as his veep.
This may account for why the MSM pollsters have skewed their polls and rampantly oversampled Dems, and undersampled Repubs - along with tainting their polls with extra blacks and college students being polled.
6 million plus axtra voters for McCain…
Wow.
Since early voting numbers show that few college students are turning out to vote early for Obama, even though he and his campaign have been pleading with them to do so, and with some polls showing that Obama’s turnout of black voters won’t be much better than John Kerry’s were, the Obama campaign is worried.
This election is far from over. The polls are much, much closer than many realize.
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.

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 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?
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.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.
“this sounds great, and I hope it is true, BUT,

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.
