Obama has succeeded in separating the wheat from the chaff in the Democrat party.
We hear about these groups of disaffected Hillary voters who are resolved not to vote for Obama. A full 59% of Hillary voters in the West Virginia primary said that if Obama got the nomination, they would either vote for McCain or not vote at all. Obama and the DNC are desperately trying to unite the party, and though intra-party squabbles are usually ironed out by November, this year is without precedent. One cannot assume, as they say, that past experience is an accurate predictor of future performance.
Many Hillary Democrats seem to be taking a serious, principled stand in opposing Obama. It is not that they like McCain. They just think Obama would be very bad for America. After 8 years of George W. Bush, you would think party loyalty would prevail at all costs. But you would be wrong.
We have the PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) Party.
This is where we come in, PUMAs. We will fill the role that the superdelegates have abrogated. It is our job to say “no”. We do not want to lose in 2008. We do not want another four years of Republican rule. We want 4 years of intelligence, competence and courage in a time of what will surely be a very critical time in our nation’s history. Terrorism is still out there. There are two wars going on. Our military is stretched so thinly that our national security is compromised.
Now when was the last time you heard any Democrat talking about this being a critical time to win the wars and keep the country safe from terrorism? You hear it when Joe Lieberman speaks. You heard it when Zell Miller spoke at the 2004 Republican Convention.
Frankly, they think Obama is a cupcake who isn't up for the job.
Now is not the time to put a love object in office, a weakling who will be entirely dependent on his power elite enablers.
Hillary supporters think their girl was tough, experienced, and smart enough to handle this. And it is not just Obama's lack of fortitude. They really dislike his elitist, condescending attitude towards voters.

Nice read. It really coincides with what I am seeing. My maternal grandparents have NEVER voted GOP, but they admit they will for the first time this year.
It’s a nice read, if you like poppycock. I’m glad to hear about your grandparents, but I fear they will be the exception - most Dims will vote for the Obamfuerher, and those who cross over to McCain will be matched by conservatives who will not vote at all.
The DNC nominee has loser written all over him and only the MSM is fooled by his BS. Obama is in for a real cold shower in November. If Liberals are looking around for an explanation of why this is happening to them, they don't need to look any further than "Clinton, Inc." Bill is the poison and Evita is the cure that kills. Once again, the Clinton legacy is the gift that keeps on giving.
Pumas.... are they anything like Cougars?
