Before you start blaming the PUMAs, you lost a good percentage of the “conservative” base.

We gave you quite a bit of support in many states.

The conservative base was the problem. Still alot out there that “want to teach the GOP a lesson”. I guess they didnt learn anything from 2006. As far as the PUMAs are concerned, they did what they could. I went to several rallys and saw “Hillary voters for McCain” “Dems for McCain” and “PUMA Power” signs. It would have been unrealistic to expect them all to go to McCain. Obama won by being the media darling, having unlimited funds and fraud....and the conservatives stayed home.

What good does this do? IT’S OVER...there’s no use figuring this one out because it’s unprecedented...Let’s just regroup, put up good conservatives and MOVE ON. How do you think MOVEON.ORG got so powerful? Not by dwelling in the past, I’m telling you that much.

Why do people have a problem with conservatives not voting for a liberal to moderate Republican. I held my nose and voted McCain as an anti-Obama vote, but I have nothing but respect for conservatives who could not make that compromise of their integrity. I have a feeling they are sleeping better than I am right now.

It's said that you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but this old dog has learned his lesson - never again!
