HOLY SMOKES!
UPDATE AUGUST 29TH AT 10:52AM: JOHN MCCAIN HAS PICKED GOV. SARAH PALIN OF ALASKA AS HIS RUNNING MATE.
SO, WHO WANTS TO HAVE A BEER WITH SARAH PALIN?
Nothing on Top for Democrats.
N.O.T. For President in 2008
Puma PAC is Protesting the 2008 Election. We are Democrats who will vote for President this year in Protest. We will not support the Selected presidential nominee. Millions of us will vote John McCain as a PROTEST against the DNC and the Obama Movement. Millions will vote 3rd Party or leave the top spot BLANK. Not because we are angry or bitter or sore losers. Not because we are shrieking holdouts. We are Protesting the 2008 Election because the DNC and the Obama Movement used dirty tricks and disenfranchisement to grab the nomination.
These are the Reasons for the Puma PAC Protest of the 2008 Election
- The DNC punished the VOTERS of Florida and Michigan with DISENFRANCHISEMENT because of the actions of their elected officials. In Florida, Democratic VOTERS WERE DISENFRANCHISED because of the shenanigans of a REPUBLICAN legislature.
- The DNC CHANGED THE VOTES of 600,000 Michiganders on May 31, 2008 when it stole 4 pledged delegates from one candidate and re-pledged them to another.
- The Obama Movement PAID THE SUPERDELEGATES who endorsed Senator Obama. Crucial Super Delegates pledged their support to Obama after the Obama Movement contributed tens of thousands of dollars to them. These were Super Delegates whose constituents had voted overwhelmingly for Senator Clinton in the primaries.
- The DNC ALLOWED SEXIST BIAS TO HANDICAP THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE RACE. When Tucker Carlson said that Hillary Clinton was a CASTRATOR, the DNC WAS SILENT. When Chris Matthews said that Bill Clinton’s INFIDELITY was the ONLY REASON for Hillary Clinton’s achievements, the DNC WAS SILENT. When the MEDIA CIRCUS unleashed a sexist onslaught of criticism against Senator Clinton regarding: her laugh, her cleavage, her pants, her wrinkles, her earrings, her “bitchiness,” her emotional “instability” the DNC WAS SILENT.
- The DNC and the Obama Movement SUPPRESSED THE VOTES OF CLINTON DELEGATES at the National Convention in Denver. On August 27th, 2008 the DNC and the Obama Movement maneuvered an undemocratic and underhanded voting script to ensure that Hillary Clinton’s pledged delegates (and the 18 million votes they represented) HAD NO VOTE. Entire state delegations were brow-beaten into voting Present or Passing their votes to other states. August 27, 2008 is a day that will live in infamy for the Democratic National Committee.
If you are a Democrat and you are FED UP with the DNC and the Obama Movement’s tactics, JOIN US! We are Protesting the 2008 Election. N.O.T. for Democrats this year. NOTHING ON TOP for the Democratic Ticket in 2008. Vote for John McCain; Vote for a 3rd Party Candidate; or LEAVE IT BLANK ON TOP.
Oh, and regarding the Greatest Speech EVAH! last night, did you know that Barack Obama can RIDE HIS BIKE WITH NO HANDLEBARS?

woot!
Well, well, well, - my x sister & brother in law live in Anchorage - will call them later today - Alaska is five hours behind me here in Minnesota - that means it’s only about 3:30 am there - don’t think Nancy would appreciate a wakeup call that early - check back later
Right Murphy for what you said above.
Dem will be the future pick, now is:

Murphy - I asked yesterday about this and I don’t know if you responded or not - too many posts to read to find -
What’s happening with the doc? Will it be released before the election in November?

I agree. I’m excited just thinking about Palin as VP. It’s the shot in the arm the RNC campaign needs.
To me, it’s okay for the VP to be less experienced than the prez. I always thought of the VP slot as a stepping stone (not a babysitter’s job) … a position to get training for the big job.
That’s why I couldn’t understand the hurry for obama to be prez instead of going for VP.
If McCain picks Palin, he definitely “GETS IT” (a play on obama comment that “McCain doesn’t get it”.
OMIGOODNESS, I’m getting a tingle on my leg!

896 emme - I just saw your post…It is beautiful there - I spent almost every weekend either at Kenai or other lakes. Loved it - I would have still been there if I could have made it happen!
McCain would be wise to select a female; very smart, IMO.
Sarah Palin sounds okay to me.
EXCELLENT introduction Murphy!!
Also, talking point I think might be effective for a couple of days…
You must be an EXCELLENT person to make an excellent speech, and BO isn’t even a good person. Unless you can back it up with prior acts or a resume that speaks for itself, you’re just blowing hot air and empty words.
Empty shirt = Empty speech
I am hopeful that the bounce is a NONBOUNCE….
My post from downstairs -
Good Morning Pumas!
Hope everyone is enjoying a lovely Friday morning. I missed BO’s speech last night - not that I haven’t seen it before (if you’ve seen one - you’ve seen all of his speeches). I was doing a lot of thinking last night about these last few months, our movement, this whole process all together and of course, and most importantly the future. While many of us PUMAs will vote for McCain, a third party, write Hillary in (where it makes a difference) or simply not vote at all, I wonder if a protest is enough to send the message to our leaders. We already know (thanks to the in the tank media) that any BO loss in November will be blamed on Hillary - which could damage her chances of running in 2012 (which I don’t believe we can let happen). SO000 - here is my proposal to PUMA. Could/should we change our mission/strategy to working the various states and national DNC processes to ensure that what happened in 2008 to our candidate and our voices, never happens again. Could we outline a map of every single fraudulent, unfair and undemocratic crime that took place on the democratic process we so cherish and rely on? From there, start organized (by state?) committees that work to voice our concerns to local goverment and the DNC - grow our grassroots movement. SURE - we can still protest the election (doing one of the three things I said above), but not make that the focus. I just feel like we can accomplish so much more and draw so much more support from other PUMAs (even if those people do vote for BO by the fact that they just can bring themselves to see a Repulican in the White House). I just think we can gain so many more allies and affect real change if we use our voice to change these corrupt processes. As you know, I am a loyal PUMA and have been with and donated to Murphy from day one. I want to see our movement grow and make more REAL differences like we did in Denver (I honestly believe if we hadn’t been there - there would have not even been the short roll call there was). I can’t stress enough that I am not saying we shouldn’t each protest the election if that is our individual choice - but maybe our time, resources, voices would be better served in tackling our concerns directly with our officials and rallying support that way by asking voters to look at what happened - not because we don’t want BO or that we do want HRC - but that we want to preserve the integrity of our democratic system. I’m sorry for the lengthy ramblnig of a post and I hope I made sense so early in the AM…lord knows I have only had two cups of coffee…but it makes sense in my head. Let me know what you think?? Especially curious to know what Murphy, Mama and Maryland think.
Murphy
When you have time you have mail!
scuttlebutt is the veep will be a girl….
WHOOP THERE IT IS!!!
Once again, ONLY the leadership of Brazilla, Dean, Howie and Nancy could manage to make the Republicans look honest, smart, and PRO-WOMEN!!!
HILLICRAT FOR McCAIN!!
Hillary Clinton is my President, until she can take her seat I’ll let McCain hang out in the White House for a while….
Just brought out on Fox News… Gov. Palin is now involved in a controversy regarding the firing of her sister’s husband from the State troopers… seems her sister was involved in a nasty divorce.. and… well she got involved… doubt she is the on.. Plus, she is a first time governor… too inexperienced.
Somewhere on this blog in the past, someone looking at the stars stated that the candidate with the female VP will win…I held my breath and prayed that it would not be Hillary! God heard!
McCain in the fall and out with anyone that supported or will support *61 - either party!
NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER!
Well, I will sit back and wait for the announcement.
McCain will be in Pittsburgh tomorrow, I plan to be there.
People this roller coaster ride isn’t over yet … I’m starting to relax and enjoy it.
I hope everyone enjoys their day.
Have a great day Sunny!!
Jenni #10 et al, check out the update above with dwp’s new graphic. I think you’ll like it.
NO FLAGUY…
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE…
IF BO’s machine wins, Hillary will NEVER WIN and America as we know it will die…..
This is WAY more serious than the cult of personality, this is the end of America….

***** TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE DISCOURAGED *****
I have a thought that …it is always the case that poll numbers jump after an acceptance speech.. no need to worry, for with our help they will come down!!!
I thought of a thief with a gun in his hand and an eloquent speaking ability when I watched Obama tonight. He is trying to encourage everyone to give their freedom away because he has a gun in his hand.
He and his followers used thuggery on Hillary, on the DONC and on the American public. He stole everything he ever had put his hands on. He stole money from his supporters for the big extravaganza tonight… He stole money from his supporters to take his world tour… He steals money for the increased security around his acceptance speech from the American Public’s taxes… He stole the election in Chicago from his mentor…
He is a thief and one who steals the hearts of people… unsuspectedly is still a thief.
We must continue our business here… We must continue our prowls… We must continue to expose this fraud… We must continue with all of our fervor to make this known to the American people who love this country.
We must, for we are the ones who are fighting for the America WE love, our freedoms and our country.
Do not get discouraged …we have only been at this for 2 months now and look how much we’ve already accomplished. We must stay active… People on the news and around the world are watching us already.
Remember, we are Americans first… we are not whiners like “precious”… We will be heard, we are being heard… and we will make a difference…
I know in my heart of hearts that you all are as brave as anyone facing the gun of a thug…
JUST SAY NO DEAL… PEOPLE UNITED MEANS ACTION… HIREHEELS.COM….. DONEDEMS.COM….. ALL OF OUR COALITION WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!!!
#8 1gypsy4mc - my dad wanted me to go to college there - I regret not taking him up on it - could’ve gone for free - drat. Saw the northern lights that summer at Big Lake - THAT was amazing…
LOVE IT … DanceswithPumas… You are sooooo clever and talented….
We all are , aren’t we!!!
Murphy et al, Great post! I would make one small suggestion–not only did the RBC deny full seating of the FL and MI delegations on 5/31, but they did so based upon the “rules”. Then they reneged on the “rules” when it was timely and beneficial to Obama, reversing their decision. Fox news said that Hillary won the popular vote when you include FL and MI by about 287, 000 votes. Thus the DNC deliberately manipulated the rules and ignored the voice of the people.
#14 bmw60 - “too inexperienced”?
HA! I also heard he can read the teleprompter with no assistance….
DUMBER and DUMBEST is the subtitle for Democratic Party (add evil and misogynist and crooked too) at the moment, and I just hope AMERICANS prove them wrong. We are NOT this dumb!
Part of my post from downstairs:
Also, was it my imagination or was this convention not very diverse? I didn’t watch it, so please correct me. You had BO and MO and I guess Bill Richardson gave a speech (although I didn’t know he was Hispanic until I found out from T.V.). If this is the case, that’s not good. The U.S. is no longer just Black/White. Where were Asian Americans, Latinos, and so forth? Just wondering.
Have a good day,
Lara08
I don’t like reading that people will vote for McCain out of spite…it looks childish. I continue to look at background, qualifications, and experience.
The DNC dresses up Obama with fancy suits….Hey…Isn’t that what lawyers do to their clients prior marching them into court.
21 emme - Is your Dad still there? The northern lights are beautiful!!
I am voting for McCain in protest no matter who he picks as VP. Sarah Palin would be great but Apparently Palin is still in Alaska and the announcement is suppose to happen in Ohio very soon.
on ABC a few minutes ago.
August 29, 2008 9:19 AM
ABC News’ Jan Crawford Greenburg Reports: Scratch another one from the McCain veepstakes list. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has received a call from Sen. John McCain and has been told he’s not going to join the Republican contender on the GOP ticket.
McCain, R-Ariz., is in Dayton, Ohio, awaiting a high noon event at which the campaign has said the Republican contender will announce his running mate.
With Gov. Sarah Palin in Alaska, speculation is narrowing to a even smaller list: former Govs. Mitt Romney and Tom Ridge, and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, the only presumed contender who is actually in the Buckeye State at this hour.
But could the wily McCain be planning a surprise for his 72nd birthday? It’s anyone’s guess (and, despite Barack Obama’s historic nomination acceptance speech last night, EVERYONE is guessing).
Stay tuned…
Friday, August 29, 2008
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 45%.
http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
There can be no one more inexperienced that *61 that is running for president! Add the lies, shady associations, caucus and voter fraud, BC questions, etc.; if McCain picked Donald Duck…I would vote for him!
#19 jenniforhillary
I understand the seriousness of the matter. Please know that I do. I’m not suggesting that we do not protest (as I said in my comment).
What I added to the protest is complementary action - working to change the failed processes and leaders that were responsible for this travesty. Simply telling voters to protest the election is not enough in my opinion. The in-the-tank Media has done a grand job of painting us as angry bitter voters (because our candidate lost). If we TACKLE the issues Murphy outline above in addition to protesting - then it makes their accusations mute. I think we can couple our protest with positive localized strategies…that’s all I’m saying.
love the graphic Dw/P. and how are you! It was so nice to meet you in Denva!
Gee, that speech was sooooooooo good last night, I’ve changed my mind & am going to vote for the guy…NOT!! No matter what he said, I could only think that he got to where he is by cheating his way & disenfranchising many. And should we be persuaded by his words or his actions? Not once did I ever hear or read of him telling anyone to cut out the sexism…not once!
Murphy, you’ve mentioned in previous blogs, but not this one that some of us will be writing Hillary in for president. I urge people to keep in mind that in many states writing-in Hillary for president is also an option. It will be a thoughtful process for many of us, I’m sure to decide what to do.
Thanks again to Murphy & all the Pumas who travelled to Denver to represent us - we were there with you in spirit!
Murphy, really good post. I just got it … duh
I’ll be back after the announcement.

TOPIC: Caucus Fraud
Will someone please REPOST this comment every day for the next 7 days. That way newcomers can see it is REAL.
~~~
Testimony: At our hotel yesterday a black woman delegate from Texas told us that she observed Caucus Fraud. She very matter-of-factly stated that at the request of the Obama campaign workers, the Obama votes and Hillary votes were separated into two lists. And very matter-of-factly added that this was done so that the Hillary votes could be thrown into the garbage.
goanderson, antifish, and I were all there and heard these words from the mouth of a Delegate. A delegate, I might add, who seemed not the least worried about it; Obama was just about to be crowned, after all…
~~~
Will someone please REPOST this comment every day for the next 7 days. That way the media & any newcomers can see it is REAL.
Not that the media will do anything about it, they slept while we invaded Iraq, after all… _but_, we can always HOPE, right Obama?? We _do_ have the audacity to hope…
#27 PA Guy - We are not voting out of spite, we are voting against right and wrong! There is no way no matter what *61 says will I vote him! Evil is evil!
It’s a sad day for America when the DNC leaders made a choice ignoring the mounting baggage with *61 to be the first party with an AA. What a sham!
Voting country before party!
#27 PA Guy - not “out of spite”, but in protest. There is a difference. I like John McCain, although I don’t agree with him on everything. He will have my vote in November. The alternative, for me, is unthinkable.
Murphy amazes me anew each day.

Hi Taggs!
Hey, please welcome a wonderful new blog to the Puma Movement, “Pumas Unleashed” by Tequilla Puma. Check out the beautiful “About” page.
Pumas Unleashed is now on the blogroll.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 45% (see recent daily results). Sign up for a free daily e-mail update.
This is Obama’s biggest lead since late July, when he opened up a six-point advantage following his summer speech in Berlin. A separate story looks at the Obama bounce. Other data released this morning shows that Democrats are happier now than before the convention with the choice of Joe Biden as Obama’s running mate. Overall, 74% of Democrats say their convention has unified the party.
Data to be released at noon Eastern today will show the Michelle Obama is now viewed more favorably than before (Premium Members can get an advance look at the data).

#36BMW60 & 714 Hillistheone
I was a Hillary delegate to our county, district, & state conventions & personally observed cheating in our precinct caucus & attempted cheating at the county convention by the Obama campaign & delegates. At the after-caucus party for Hillary precinct captains/campaign workers, I heard many other first-hand stories of the cheating that went on to throw the caucus win to Obama. I have no doubt that many of those who participated in the cheating here travelled caucus state-to caucus state to help cheat there to change the results.
I have always loved Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucus - it is great being able to meet & hear all the candidates & look them in the eye & ask them questions.
However, now that widespread cheating has occurred, I fear the caucus system will never be an honest way to get candidate selection accomplished & should be abolished in favor of primaries-only. In fact, I wonder if there shouldn’t be a national primary - all on one day. What do other Pumas think in these regards?
As far as primaries & other elections, we’ve got to have paper records of votes that can be verified by the voter and available for recounts. Touch-screens are a horribly easy system to cheat also.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ” - Margaret Mead
We must remember our power!
I went to bed early last night. So, what did I miss?
Murphy can you post their links…Riverdaughter, Anglachel, and Heidi Li…so excited, I can’t remember their correct site name! Thanks!!
The buzz over Palin is taking over the media drowning out Obama speech, and all other news
Wow rumors of this Lady has started a FIRESTORM
My hope is to see a coalition. We are many groups with a common protest and hope for our Party to regain it’s honor. It is said there is strength in numbers. Obama’s campaign certainly proved that. What a mighty force we might become if the blog roll coalesced into one huge Party of resistance. Together we could accomplish what none could do alone. IMHO
I can’t imagine McCain will put somone with so little experience on the ticket. I really doubt it will be Palin.

That is a #5 on the NO!
We have a voice, never back down or lay low!
We may very well be in danger if the bots get scared AGAIN!
We will be careful but we will never hide!
We learned from the caucus fraud that once it happens it’s too late to fix it. We can’t let team Obama pull the same dirty tricks in the GE.
I’m really worried about the college kids and others voting 2x, once in their home state by absentee ballot, and again in person at their school or summer home.

MURPHY
Why does the new blog Pumas Unleashed have a anti Clinton piece by someone from Huffpo? I don’t get it but it’s early for me this morning.
Good morning Pumas,
In case you didn’t see this last night, here’s the video
Obamamini is going ballistic over:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m89m0pC_bpY
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, SARAH!!!!!!!
The democrats are running an inexperienced candidate for president, and look how popular he is…I hope McCain picks her, obviously inexperiece is IN this year!
Sarah Palin’s experience, though limited, is still significantly more appropriate to governing than Obama’s.
Politically, it would be clever to put Obama’s team in the position of instinctively wanting to criticize Sarah for lack of experience, thus highlighting The Messiah’s skill set as being exclusively rhetorical.
Huge game changer, imho.
CNN.com:
Sen. John McCain’s campaign has told Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty he will not be the GOP vice presidential nominee in November, sources told CNN today. Meanwhile, the arrival of a private jet from Alaska at the Middleton, Ohio, airport Thursday night raised speculation that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be McCain’s pick. Middleton is near Dayton, where McCain is expected to name his running mate at a rally today.
#52 YesSheCan - agree!
Our Hillary campaign person said that even though he had lived in Iowa long enough working the campaign to participate in the caucus, the Hillary campaign forbade her campaign workers from doing so. Somehow, I don’t think that Obama’s campaign had the same ethical stance.
In fact, with ’same day’ registration & party switching allowed, the buses who came in for IL were also allowed to vote (just guessing….cough, cough.) Again, has ANYONE done ANY validation of the same-day, first-time registrants to see how many are actually valid residents of the state?
Of course, there were also Republicans ( I knew two from just my rural neighborhood) who showed up to switch registration & caucus for Nobama…somehow I doubt the sincerity of their preference. And apparently this happened by the thousands also. I saw a report the next week after the caucuses where they were speaking with the county auditor in Johnson County, IA - by the Monday after the caucus, she already had over 9000 requests by people who wanted to change their party registration back from what they had changed it to on caucus night!
I spoke to a DNC member at one of the conventions to express my displeasure with how things were conducted & she said in her precinct they checked IDs because there were so many people who didn’t belong trying to same-day register & cheat the process.
Lots of problems with the process to be addressed.
54 Kelligesq~~~~ Should be shown on national television.
No, it actually negates the argument. It will be impossible to attack him on lack of experience.
For Senators and House Reps
the DNC said if their Messiah didnt win, they would still win the dem downline. We’d all fall in line (not) and even if they didnt win the presidency they would still win the house and senate.
If we are to clean out the crooks and thieves and self serving, who have been busy in congress lining their pockets with special interest money, ignoring the state of their constituents, we can’t keep voting them back in office even if they are Democrats.
those dems who fell in with Obama from the git go, vote their opponent or leave blank.
those dems who quickly jumped ship from Hillary, accepted payoffs from Obama, the Party, Dean, Pelosi, vote their opponent or leave blank
those dems who resisted the skullduggery and stuck with Hillary to the end until they were threatened by Pelosi , the DNC, Obama, Dean, vote them back into office.
Dont forget these are the superdelegates who could have changed or stopped the rigging of the nomination and theft of votes, but didnt.
these are the same congress we elected in 2006 to end the war, instead they supported a surge.
these are the same congress we elected in 2006 to impeach Bush-Cheney - instead they continued to allow the shredding of the Constitution and Bill of rights
These are the same congress we elected in 2006 to stop the spying on American citizens which is illegal, instead they passed immunity for Bush and ATT and the rest of the phone companies which partook.
And a special note to those who live in San Francisco or are constitutents of Nancy Pelosi. As one of the major powers in this coup of the people’s nominating process, If you have to vote for Mickey Mouse, get her out of congress.
Others who spearheaded this coup against the people and rigged the nominating process are:
Rahm Emanuel of Chicago
Jesse Jackson Jr. of Chicago
Richard Durbin of Chicago
Steny Hoyer of Maryland
James Clyburn of South Carolina
vote against these people . All of the above put self interest and interest of their own insider party choice before the interests of the people and legitimate election.
As more bad democrats are identified we will add them to the list.
I don’t know, miss alaska has over an 80% approval rating governer, and has dealt head on with issues like drilling and conservation…that far more exp then BO
OMG!! I am soooo excited that it might be Sarah Palin!! She is one kick-ass woman!! As a Republican voice here, I think that this would be a slam dunk for McCain. It would rally his base BIG TIME and bring in undecided women!! Yes, she may be slim on experience, BUT so is Obama!!
Woooo Hoooo, Fox is reporting that it is Palin!!!!!!!!!
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
I love the idea of Sarah Palin! It’s fantastic!!! I am thrilled!
Fox news confirmed it’s Sarah Palin and they trump abc in my opinion. Should go over well with conservatives.
Palin known as the “baracuda.”
If McCain;s pick is Sarah Palin, this is a formidable move!
I have researched her previously. One of the more telling things about her I found was the fact that after being asked early on to serve as the ED of the Alaska Commission or Board of Ethics, she accepted the job, then after a year resigned saying that the Ethics Board had no ethics…something no one in the Democratic Party did at any point in this election.
She has a very interesting combination of views on various issues. as well…Ha..what a coup if he has done this. Gues the old dude in as old in his thinking as the socialists would like people to think.
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy with this pick!!!
Go McCain!!!!!!!!
NOdumbo, No How, No Way!!
I’m doing a happy dance!!! ROFL
OMG. what a mistake. if it is true they just gave it to Obama. It will send a message to voters to forget everything we said about experience.
Her husband is a tough cookie too…he has won the iron man dogseld race numerours times…way cooler then watching BO play basketball!
It is an article that appeared in Newsweek, and as such is unexpected, coming from a msm outlet. But it is AWESOME, the writer totally gets it! Please come and check it out!

Got this from another site I belong to. Really worth the read!!!!!!!!!! Especially the last half about BO!!
Just a reminder to go and vote
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26445098?GBT1=43001
I have read about Sarah Palin. I am excited if its her. She is tough on government corruption and intelligent about energy. Yes she is pro-life but I really like this woman. Im keeping my fingers crossed
I am back!!! IS everyone as excited as I am. PALIN!!! that will give bambi a big black eye. LMAO
Yessssssss! Fox just announced it. What a great choice! In the last hour or so the more I heard about her the more I like her! Sounds like a real 21st Century woman! Does everything. Has 5 kids, a devoted marriage, hunts, fishes, runs a whole state! LOL.
#62 Kelligesq
We have to remember that leaving the president spot blank on your ballot makes the opportunity for campaigns to commit fraud and claim that vote. Vote for somebody, don’t leave it blank.
Puma Pac blog is the best place for network news
Correction: Guess the old dude isn’t as old in his thinking as the socialists would like people to think.
G-d, I hope this news is right!!!!
I am so excited and so happy!
I am not sure of my reaction if Palin is the pick. I am unsure what she will bring to the ticket. She is younger than BO, less experienced, and I do not feel would be ready to take over is something happened to McCain.
I bet Romney was sure he had it. Will be very interested to hear what Rove says about this.
IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!!!
It is the AK Governor
1) Palin went up against her own party to clean up Government corruption.
Obama used corruption it to get where he is.
2) Palin hunts, fishes, snowmobile races and runs marathons
Obama shoots hoops and goes to the gym
3) Palin has worked tirelessly to untie her state from dependence upon Federal subsidies, big oil companies and lobbyists’ influence
Obama initially rans on that platform - but as WE all now know, exploits government grants, corruption, lobbyists, and his own constituents, giving political favors for campaign dollars
4) Palin is Pro-Life
We are smart enough to send a man to the moon, use sexism and masogeny, disenfranchise voters, manipulate delegates into being irresponsible representatives of their state’s voters to nominate an unqaulified man to the democratic presidential ticket, instead of a qualified woman, and convince ‘TRILLIONS’ of people that Obama is the savior of the world…
Surely the democratic party is now SLICK enough to convince ‘TRILLIONS’of people to prevent unwanted pregnancies rather than relying upon this antiquated, potentially dangerous and inhumane birth control practice. (imo)
5) While she may be against GLB Rights, she signed into state law to protect many of their rights!
——————————-
JUST BEEN CONFIRMED! JUST GOT A CHILL UP MY SPINE!
WOO HOO! SHE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE ON ACCOMPLISHING OBAMA’S FAUX PLATFORM THAN OBAMA EVER THOUGHT ABOUT - HE’S BEEN TOO BUSY RUNNING FOR SOMETHING!
TX Democrat, I wouldn’t worry too much. I am in Massachusetts and there are a half dozen people here in my office who were leaning toward Obama. 3 are not so sure now. One woman said her mother is torn because she has been voting Democrat since she could vote, but she doesn’t feel comfortable voting for Nobama!
Obama, will ruin Obama’s chances of being President not Palin. Wooo Hooo, I am very happy right now.
McCain is brilliant!!!
Good morning all, and it is a good morning. John McCain has succeeded in taking the focus off Obama’s speech and put it right on him. If he chooses Gov. Palin, I think this is the most courageous and politically saavy move I’ve ever seen. He would be sticking it right in the eye of the Democratic party and the Republican party. Obama’s speech was boring. Nothing original and stole from everyone especially Hillary. Tell you the truth, I was embarrassed to be a Democrat. The party of the underprivileged in such an audacious and expensive setting.
McCain campaigh confirms it’s Palin!
We did it showed how important woman was and dems had it and threw it away
Hey pumas its SARAH PALIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo
It’s official!! Gov. Palin is his VP choice.
This is because of us Pumas!
woooooohooooo 80 to 90 favorable rateing
( I have such trouble posting here - usually goes to one of those problem pages and have to start all over again - drat!)
McCain picking a woman veep shows good judgement and an acknowledgement to us., 54% of voters are women.
Meanwhile,
We have to start organizing by State and passing out flyers at flea markets , grocery stores and so on for those that do not use the internet, and have been uninformed of what was going on behind the scenes.
I;’ve had conversations with many of these people, just in passing and they dont know what to do - they’re democrats, they wanted Hillary, but may feel they have no choice but to vote for Obama.
we have to let them know, it’s time for us to clean out the Dem party , hold our nose and vote for McCain, or
leave the president slot blank, or write in Hillary.
We have to give them a choice other than Obama - who is a democrat like I’m a republican.

I am for a national primary. I’ve stated this before, but I wouldn’t care if my vote was videotaped, had to go through airport-type security measures, be subjected to National Guard presence, whatever it takes to secure my vote! They do that in emerging democratic nations, don’t they?
BTW, great job Murphy!!!
Palin changes everything .
I haven’t heard any offical announcement but I do believe that Palin will be it. OMG!!!!! Obama will be eating McCains dust in November.
lol want to talk about change only one not in washington and there will be a woman talking about the cracks
Looks like she has more experience that I first thought. Interesting.
I wonder what Hillary is thinking.
ROVE THINKS THIS IS BRILLIANT!
Anybody think Hillary was consulted by McCain on this? I think it’s entirely possible
McCain has been very vocal about tax breaks for oil and Palin has fought to raise taxes on oil.
Wow. Big mistake.
Good Morning Folks…
I truely believe HRC could have won the roll call, especially after her Speech. She gave in to the pressures that be and in trying to Unify the party as well as securing her place for further Democratic elections. That is why the roll call was cut short and handed over to BO.
The Speech…nothing impressive. I didn’t feel the spark of any historical connection between MLK, history being made, speech of substance. Bo’s speech was focused at White Middle America…the block of people that BO has not yet convinced. I am Af. American and I was not inspired.
The best part….his cute daughters taking in all the hoopla!
When the smoke clears….people will once again have to call the kettle black if its black. One doesn’t change deep rooted sentiments over the weekend or by one or two speeches.
I am NOT sold on the Obama Campaign’s Words….He says whatever he must say to whomever he is talking to at that moment, despite everything that was said the day before, just to win votes.
This is the calm beofre the storm…….
I am from PA, a swing state, I devoted much time to HRC campaign activities. Most of my family will vote McCain, All will definitely not vote BO. Nothing personal to BO….BUT we see through you, your wife, your associates, your corruption, your beliefs…No Way…No How…No Obama.
I am ready to start organizing.
I bet Hillary is thrilled, she is thinking 2012…woohoo!
MO throwing at tv LOL yes Bigcat we did it
“Senator O, what do you think about Senator McCain choosing a woman as his running mate for POTUS?”
O: “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
—————————–
LMAO. No wonder McCain was smirking in his ad last nite!
Happy Birthday John!
Obama’s biggest problem was experience and now it is off the table.
This is the most fabulous news I have heard in days. He is one shrewd brilliant man! Took me completely by surprise. Didn’t expect this at all. Didn’t even bother to check her out before this morning….But she is one interesting, competent, complex woman - truly a woman of the 21st Century!
just think this means 2 women in 12 Hillary you are the one!!!
And now McCain has a historic candidacy…the first repub to put a woman on a ticket!
yea!!!!!!!
This is my first post here and all I can say is this ‘this is not about me but about you, Puma, so go all out until you get to where you need to be.
May those real ‘dreams’ continue.
SARAH PALIN !! OMG !! McCain is my man.
BO disses Hillary for Biden, and McCain comes up with a woman. Young, vibrant, a mother.
The DNC are just plain dumb.
Well, the Democratic party outsmarted themselves again - bet Karl Rove is just laughing his ass off - he played Donna Brazile just like he wanted to
Sarah Palin & John McCain will pick up a lotta women -
I find it interesting,however, that now that is all anyone can talk about - evidently, Hillary was not considered a woman - the talkingheads are saying that women comprise 54% of the vote and they could make a difference in this election - well duh?!!
We coulda had Hillary -
TX democrat….she has more experience then BO and she is just the VP pick
Pumas! Pumas!
One thing with this Palin pick. If McCain only does one term, and steps down in 2012 - that means Palin will be the incumbent and if Hillary runs again - Oh My Gosh!
Can you imagine?
#107 TX Democrat
Obama is running for POTUS, not VP. There is a big difference. Palin will surely make it more palatable for our girl to win in 2012!
107 TX Democrat
No TX; Dems can’t criticize Palin’s lack of experience without bringing attention to his own.
But even so, she has proven herself much more competent and accomplished than he is; so even if they try to use that argument, Obama loses. Palin wins.
MO - better move over!!! The Baracuda is coming!
Speaker on FOX Hillary supporters have complained about women being passed over…yeah PUMAs
omg. this 52 year old feminist heart is SMILING … I swear, I’m crying !!!!! this is wonderful, wonderful news!!!
TIGRESS…. GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!! LMAO
Palin is a reformer!! So says some woman on Fox!
This is great! I’m liking McCain more and more every day! LOLOLOL Take THAT BO and camp!
Don’t forget folks , a Governorship IS executive experience .
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY
((((((((((((((BIG PUMA HUG))))))))))))))))
And if they bring “guns” to the fight during the run-up to the GE (as Obama warned he would) at least Sarah Palin will know how to shoot hers!!! LOL.
Dems will not criticize her experience, except when BO’s experience will be in question. Which will not happen any more.
Maybe Hillary in 2016. It’s all over for McCain. Alaska barely has a national guard. What a joke.
And she is currently under investigation. Biden will eat her up.
Brooklyn…LOL…and accurately too…she should challenge Biden to a shoot off during their debate!
I just made another donation to McCain. I am in awe at how well run his campaign is. Obama is on page two now and McCain is getting the spot light.
Incredible!
Could have 2 women running for POTUS in 2012. Wouldn’t THAT be something?!!
Just announced! It’s Sarah Palin is McCains pick for VP. I can’t express how happy I am to hear this. It makes it a lot easier for me to select McCain in November. McCain count me in for my Vote. DNC with N.O.T.
SLAM DUNK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B A R A C U D A!!!!
Love it!
she isnt from washington change here
It’s got to be a woman to understand woman, yeah.
What a move…brilliant…She can train, learn, inspire. Bring her youth. Biden has health issues, like Cheney. It’s pick for the future.
#113-I no longer blame the media as much as the Dem Party. If McCain wins and doesn’t deliver as Pres, Hillary can run against them and sexists will be put down. Unless Palin runs for Pres in 2012 which is unlikely.
Does anyone have what the roll call numbers were when it was ended??? Also - what did it mean when some states passed???
All you PUMAs are just wonderful. I’m about ready to have a heart attack!
By the way - Elmendorf AFB has a huge military base, and Fort Richardson has an Army base. There is a substantial National Guard in AK because they are so vulnerable to Russia!!
#127 TX Democrat
Biden’s got his own skeletons. Lots of them. Plus he’s got his disastrous behavior during the Anita Hill hearings.
I’m not worried one bit. Biden’s toast against her.
No way. Too many problems around the world. McCain is 72 and has had cancer twice. This is a desperation move. McCain just threw it away.
Cnn.com confirms:
Alaska Gov. Palin is McCain’s VP pick
Sen. John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice-presidential candidate on the Republican ticket for the White House, CNN has learned. The 44-year-old Palin, now in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state’s top political job.
YOU GO MCCAIN:
LET THEM ATTACK HER ‘INEXPERIENCE’ AND WATCH THEM BRING OUT THAT SHE HAS GONE AGAINST CORRUPT REPUBLICANS! (TRY THAT DEM PARTY-YOU “LOVE” YOUR CORRUPT NOMINEE AND PARTY LEADERS - AND NOW THE WORLD WILL FIND OUT!)
LET THEM ATTACK HER WITH SEXISM (ATE YOUR OWN BUT WON’T GET AWAY WITH THAT NOW AGAINST THE REPUBS -THEY’LL DEFEND HER TO THE HILT! HA! HA! HA!)
CONGRATULATIONS AND BRAVO JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN!
COUNT ME - A LIFETIME DEMOCRAT - IN FOR MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 !
DEMOCRATIC PARTY: YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU SO JUSTLY DESERVE!
WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..A GREAT, HISTORIC DAY FOR HILLARY CLINTON……
WHO PUT A HUGE CRACK IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S GLASS CEILING!
Palin won a beauty contest and she also took the girls basketball team to a CHAMPIONSHIP…..Go McCain EXCELLENT CHOICE and thanks for showing respect to WOMEN.
McCain/Palin 08……a ticket I can live with
#141 TX Democrat
4 years after, Hill will be back - this is the only way we can get Hill.
121 LibertyPuma Where the Hell were you last night !!! LOL
No ONE is talking about XO’s speech - MCCain is going to get a bigger Bump today !!! YEEEEE HAWWWWW !
Unregistering from the Dem party today.
141 TX Democrat
You are sooooooooooo wrong TX.
#127-Are you kidding?? Her enemies are complaining because she may have had a cop fired for good reason. Big deal. Not like REZKO! Hahaha!
BO must be losing it now–all these women stealing his limelight. LOL
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.
PUMA PUMA PUMA
WE ARE LOVED BY MCCAIN.
JOHN YOU GET MY VOTE. GO MCCAIN GO.
GO HILLARY GO
I am so happy I am jumping out of my skin! LOL.
#146 TexasTigress
E
TexasTigress…………YEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!
I bet Bo is WETTING himself over this vp pick////
what do all of you think ??
#140 Brooklyn ~
I will NEVER forget Biden’s reprehensible behavior during the Anita Hill hearings. You’re right - he has MAJOR issues that will resurface.
This was a brilliant coup!! 2012 will present a new world order where a qualified, extraordinary woman can become POTUS and Hillary will RISE!!!
Man MO must be spitting out her corn flakes this morning! I love it!
Not only did he pick a woman, but what an incredible woman he picked!
OMG OMG McCain2008
They hit it out of the Park!!!!!!!!!!!
******* THANK YOU HILLARY !!! *******
WOW PUMAS! do you realize how happy we all are this morning….been a long time for a lot of us. it’s nice to know someone was listening to us!!
#137
I agree. Palin is an excellent choice and the McCain/Palin ticket is perfect for this term, leaving the field wide open for next election. Go McCain/Palin. Hillary in ‘12
didn’t see that one coming……………..way to go McCain.
Hillary wasn’t good enough for BHO, but a woman is good enough for ole John….I am so proud of him !!
UPDATE AUGUST 29TH AT 10:52AM: JOHN MCCAIN HAS PICKED GOV. SARAH PALIN OF ALASKA AS HIS RUNNING MATE.
I knew it was going to be a woman for the Repubs. That she is also younger than BO is a double punch. As far as her “inexperience” is concerned, she is the VP choice. If BO had been the VP choice it would have been a different story. What about that strategy don’t the Dems get?
Good for the Repubs for choosing a woman! -Lara08
#147 CTKEY
My thoughts exactly — I’m so excited! What documentation do I need to bring to Town Hall?
I need to go to work, but I want to see this !!
Yelling out happy whoops out loud
WoHooooooooooooo McCain/Palin 08 !!!!!!!
Hillary 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DARRAGH:
Love the heading today, what can I say, you & I seem to always be on the same page when it comes to communicating about PUMA. I just logged in to ask everyone to post here:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/27/hillary-supporters-split/
Murphy has been a great leader and done so much for this movement, when we see flamers attacking her let’s make sure to blog back & ‘tell it like it is.’
Brooklyn:
Tell us more about the VP choice!
WOW!!! I can not wait to see her on the stage. WOOOOHOOOO
DEMOCRATS VOTE
McCAIN / PALIN
WHERE DO I GET MY NEW BUMPER STICKER
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. McCAIN IS A GOOD PERSON.
How do you get to Hillary in 2012?
I’m going to get a McCain/Palin bumper sticker and put it next to my “H” Hillary bumper sticker. This is an historic day !!!!!!!!!!!!!
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 - IS MY PROTEST VOTE AGAINDT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY !!!
How can BO and his camp attack her on inexperience really look who is running for President on the Dem side the most inexperienced person so far,she has got more experience on her resume then BO . I am gonna to read more about her before I whoop and yell over this pick but from what I heard on tv she sounds pretty good.
164 Lara08 @@@@@@@ she has more experience than BOZO……MUCH MORE
I am SOOOOOO Happy!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You McCain. No wonder he was cool as a cucumber last night!!!!!!!!!!
#172 TX Democrat: Give it up.
queen81: I was more thinking that Michelle’s likely throwing a hissy fit! ;D
Sorry about the typo in my last post. I typed LOL. I meant TROLL.
OMG. I am wowed that McCain chose Sarah Palin! I’m actually a little shocked. lol.
McCain reaaly is a maverick! lol
Heart can be her music pick..
TX Deomcrat….The repubs win, BO is humiliated and Hillary runs again in 2012…And if Mccain doesn’t run again and they put Palin up, I’m ok with that because it will be a real campaign this time based on real issues and let the best woman win….I am fine with that.
TXDemocrat
Give it up. This is a brillant move. She’s tough, well rounded, not a Wash insider,has all the conservative creds she needs with their base, she’s young but has run a state, bucked the establishment there, and she is historic. Yes, McCain gets it!
What a move!!!! Now things should get interesting. Stole the big show.
really*
omg….you guys, we have a treat!!!
A woman VP in 08, and Hillary in 2012!
WOOOOOOOO
slyt2 you don’t get it. they don’t have to attack her experience. it is a moot point now. off the table in this election. they just solved obama’s biggest problem. experience is a non-issue on both sides.
well good for everyone. either way it will be hillary in the white house eventually.
What a coup for McCain! Bravo, Sir!
If he wins, historians will mark 8/29/08 as the day the deciding blow was delivered.
#184. You said it all. I am overjoyed, and to think, with a republican!
Pumas, have not had such a good day for a while, very excited for the new choice we are facing in 08. in 12, Hill will be back with true platform change, YES. Hill did, yes she will.
#155 LizzyinCT
Right on. Wait until those transcripts are released! Chuck Todd is going Goo Goo!!
TOPIC: Denver
Been thinking about my experiences being in Denver and how it has affected my “PUMA-ness,” lol.
What it has done for me, personally, is amped up my loyalty to PUMA, and my determination to make change happen. I was sooo depressed yesterday and so washed out from crying & lack of sleep. Got home yesterday afternoon, went from the airport to the market to buy groceries for the kids, grabbed some Obama fliers and away I went. I did not skip a beat.
As for today? Aaahh…today is another great day to be a PUMA!
#169 hillstheone
Gov. of Alaska, born in ‘64, mother of 5 children, youngest - just recently born has Down’s syndrome, devoted wife (her and her husband just recently reconfirmered their vows). A hunter, fisher, reformer in the Rep Party, beauty queen winner, former professional sportscaster, very popular in AK, pro-life, (check post above about the society she belongs to re: being pro-life and helping women prevent unwanted pregnancies and helping when they do go through with a pregnancy).
She is a true 21st Century woman. Does it all!
She could probably beat BO at one on one in basketball.
#141 TX Democrat - The Democrats threw it away. Too bad.
CNN and MSNBC are already pulling her apart - that she is under investigation, etc. Don’t they think that McCain has vetted her and knows the true details?
#176 I agree.
You know, if McCain/Palin win there will be a woman in the White House and Hillary will play a major role in Congress! Yeah!
Hello Pumas,
I am usually just a lurker but am so angry I have decided to become more involved by joining as a proud Puma.
LOVE the Palin choice made by McCain. Will make it even easier to vote McCain which I was going to do anyway.
McCain ‘08 / Hillary ‘12
What a day! McCain just won the election!
I’ll always remember that Hillary paved the way for her.
Hillary took all the abuse, and fought it with grace.
Hillary made the country believe it was possible.
Palin was picked and will have an easier time of it because of Hillary.
McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!
SHE IS 44 ANDBO 47. SHE STILL HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN “SUPERMAN”!
My vote for McCain is one of protection, not protest, to keep me and my loved ones safe at home. Roe v Wade is not going away and HRC will continue to work on Healthcare issues, which is most important to me.
164 Lara08 @@@@@@@ she has more experience than BOZO……MUCH MORE
AGAIN@@@@@@@@@@@ a GOVERNOR………….SO MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BOZO !!!!
Much more responibility than a legislator…BO just pulling a button, and hit the wrong one 6 times. hahahahahahha
I consider this a direct result of PUMA. Because of PUMA John McCain saw that he wanted our votes. He is a good person. He gives PUMA respect.
Obama says he does not need us and we should go away. Obama is a fool.
McCain says he honors us and wants to be our friend.
John McCain will now get my vote with PRIDE. I never expected this. It is so wonderful I am filled with tears. I am just a softie. Darn this is great news.
Congratuations to all PUMA. Your work is already paying off big BIG TIME.
Thank you MURPHY
This will make it much easier for Hillary to get the nomination next time. It will be Hillary against Palin in 2012. that is a hoot. hahaha.
I am so happy.
Go Hillary Go
GOD BLESS John McCain for showing the DEMOCRATS to be the LOSERS of the WORLD…
GO PUMA…GO WOMEN….GO GO GO!!!
I never thought a republican could make me cry tears of joy….GO GO GO!!!
I’ll bet she compliments Hillary in her speech !! 18 million cracks …………………yeah !!!!!!!!!
Did anyone see his “Smiling Ad” congratulating Obama on his “historic speech” (DNC choreographed all along) on the anniversary of MLK speech?
HE KNOWS IT WAS ALL A DEM PARTY SHAM!
HA! HA! HA!
GO MCCAIN/PALIN!!! CHILL ALL OVER UP MY BODY!
YOU TRIED HILLARY - THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN !
YES!! YES!! YES!!
Our voices were heard!!!! It’s not Hillary, but our voices were heard.
I don’t know what to type except that the democratic party has really screwed the pooch on this one.
What a bunch of pathetic inept, non strategical morons.
Don’t say millions of real dems didn’t tell ya so!
We have got to purge these pols from power.
Sarah Palin is perfect for us this year. What I am worried about is the 2012 elections. She would be a formidable candidate facing Hillary.
#199 YesSheCan
Yes, and I bet that McCain and Palin give Hillary a key position in their administration. It may not be President, but Hillary will get something good.
#187 TX Democrat whoa I just got on and gave my opinion what don’t I get. The news was saying something about her not having a lot of experience so I found that funny and shared. What don’t I get, explain please did you read my whole post I stated I am not going to whoop and yell till I READ MORE ABOUT HER. I made one comment so please explain, I see several people on here directing comments to you I did not say anything to you.
Let’s see what N.O.W. and Emily’s List do now !!!!!!!!!!
this may force BOZO to give Hillary a cabinet position !!
watch and see
#204 jenniforhillary
I’m with you on this one. I’m so moved by his selection that I’m shaking.
OMG - this is the 20th time now 21st time - I have tried to post this - can we all take up a collection and get another internet provider to get this fixed for Murphy
#817 other thread - CARCAL CARRIE - You must call your Secretary of State - especially since you got that response from the State Democratic Chairmain and contest Obamas name on your State Ballot for Indiana - I think you only have a few more hours to do so - wouldn’t it be great if we got several states that blocked him - automatic defeat for him.
I told my hubbie this morning that McCain would be smart to pick a woman - and he did!
Note that she is not pro-choice.
I am very pleased w/ the Palin pick- I am no Republican but from my perspective this was a good move on McCain’s part.
Can’t wait for the polls to come out!!!

———————————-
was just going to say the same thing. Still have to get rid of Dean, Pelosi and Brazile so the DNC doesn’t screw it up next time.
Sara Palin!
and Geraldine Ferraro spoke on Fox saying about Hillary,
in a nutshell, how she was treated by the media, the DNC, NObama and his minions, and Dean not speaking out against it,
POW!
I hope and imagine that McCain has or will have a big post in mind for his friend paving the way for Palin.
YYAAAHHOOO!!!
((((SLY))))
JUST CHECKED MY REGISTRATION STATUS. They were supposed to send me a letter, but didn’t~~ Officially and Independent now. I am voting McCain/Palin District ONe Ocean County NJ
TOPIC: A Request
Murphy, could you please post the list up-top, “These are the Reasons for the Puma PAC Protest of the 2008 Election,” for the next week or so?
From a communications aspect I think we need to pull in the reign on public & media misperceptions and their tendencies to simplify and trivialize our reason for being, and our goals. Posting that list each day would be great way to keep them in line especially while we have their attention.
Also, before the last bullet it would be good to add a bullet about the caucus fraud. Thanks for considering.
GTG & BBL, have a great morning everyone.
Zero foreign policy experience with 2 ongoing wars and the cold war starting up. I’m not willing to take that chance. Voting Obama.
My daughter was on the fence yesterday. She said that after reading about Palin, she’s back (nobama) with pride. And, will go with me to see McCain tomorrow.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM????
IF McCain wins and he’s only running 1 term, will Palin then be running against Clinton in 2012?
#222 (((((((TexasTigress))))))))))) hey, glad to see everyone is happy on here again
CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
YOU NOT ONLY ATE ONE OF YOUR OWN……
YOU LOST THE ELECTION BY STEALING IT FROM THE MOST QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED LEADER WE COULD HAVE HAD - WHO ALSO HAPPENED TO BE A WOMAN!
Pack the toga Mr. NObama
Now, how do we bring Hillary back? she’s our only chance.
