It’s Not About Hillary Anymore »

Some Hillary supporters are upset that the McCain campaign is using Hillary’s “defeat” to stir the flames of resentment to sway votes toward the GOP. SusanUnPc wrote a very moving piece about this. And then there are the people, women even, who, by using sophistry, disparage Hillary’s supporters, women especially, declaring that by […]

Conversation With Cindy Schwartz, Washington State Delegate »

Last night I received a report from a Texas Delegate who said the “roll call” vote was to be secret and done in their hotel rooms. Today I had the opportunity to speak with Hillary delegate, Cindy Schwartz from Washington State. Here is a brief conversation we held in PUMA headquarters this afternoon.
She discussed the […]

“Progressives” for Ageism »

It goes without saying that most of the major bloggers — Markos, Josh Marshall, Digby, and many others — were so blinded in their desire to sink Hillary that they allowed (and even engaged in) unrelenting sexism and race-baiting.
Their behavior during the campaign was so far from being progressive that I’ve concluded that they’re […]

CNN: “Polls show bad news for Obama” »

Only days before the beginning of the Democratic National Convention, CNN announced today the results of a poll showing Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain is rapidly shrinking :
In what could be an ominous sign for Barack Obama just days before he is formally named the Democratic presidential nominee, a new CNN poll of polls […]

Darragh and Will on Hardball! »

Darragh Murphy, of PumaPAC and NoQuarter Radio — along with fellow PUMA Will Bower, of Just Say No Deal — were guests on MSNBC’s Hardball today.
I like the title of the video: “Clinton’s fire inextinguishable.”

Why Obama Must Lose: One Progressive’s Opinion »

The Just Say No Deal/PUMA movement is evidence of a deep rift in the Democratic Party, one I believe the polls are not reflecting. Contrary to what the neo-liberals may say, the movement is not comprised of bitter old women — although many are bitter, many are women, and some are perhaps old. […]

Why I Turned PUMA »

I’ve given a lot of thought to why I turned PUMA. On paper, I should be a loyal Democrat excited about this year’s “break-through” candidate.
But I’m not. I will not vote for Obama under any circumstances I can think of (well, OK, if Cheney became the Republican nominee, I’d go for Obama).
Given my […]

Hillary Backers Want Convention Vote »

Brenda Krause is tired of fearmongering among the Democrats. She said this about unity in the party:
“I’m not going to be coerced into something I don’t believe in,” said Krause, who lives in Colorado Springs and owns a real estate office. “That makes me less unified. If they let me have my voice, I’ll feel […]

Pet Peeve »

You know what one of my pet peeves is? People not listening. It really gets on my last nerve. Maybe it’s because it almost cost me my life (I had ovarian cancer, and it took eight years to finally get a doctor who would listen to me. Now, don’t think it’s because I live down […]

PUMA Gallery »

Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean, and Donna Brazile are only a few of the Democratic leaders who need glasses or a wake-up pill or an old fashioned slap upside the head to see what is going on with a good portion of 18 million voters who supported Hillary Clinton.
If these people could see the […]
