I was talking this afternoon with another teacher about the election. We were walkin down the hallway when I mentioned that the PUMA’s may be able to save McCain. She smiled at me and said, I am a PUMA, and there is no way I am voting for Obama.
I pray there are a million more like her!
My sister - God bless her - worked for Hillary in DC. She is voting for McCain in Virginia. It wasn’t easy but I worked on her for months and her husband is former military and fiscally conservative. He told her to vote with her wallet. She finally conceded.
what does puma stand for.. i have heard it a million times... something to do with hillary voters not wanting obama?
“I was talking this afternoon with another teacher about the election. We were walkin down the hallway when I mentioned that the PUMA’s may be able to save McCain. She smiled at me and said, I am a PUMA, and there is no way I am voting for Obama.”
I had thought the PUMAs were going to vote en masse for McCain/Palin, but apparently not. I mean think about it: if we got 9 million of those 18M Hillary voters, we’d be seeing better poll numbers.
Then I realized that a lot of women get pretty “catty” when it comes to supporting beautiful/successful women.
Remember that many of HIllary supporters were aging pant-suit-wearing women who saw themselves in Hillary, but don’t identify with a Palin-type hottie who’s smart and accomplished. In fact they are competitive with her. So I think we can’t expect to get an overwhelming influx of HIllary women voting for McCain Palin - as much as I would hope...
I was at the Dubuque IA Palin rally yesterday and saw 2 Democrats for McCain t-shirts in the section behind the podium.
