Also no doubt things are generally going pretty good for Obama, but it is not all sugar and spices with Democrats in general. There does still seem to be an outside chance for the convention to be anything but conventional. Preston on Politics: PUMAs stalking Obama - CNN.com Still some that are holding out hope for Clinton - maybe they'll make some noise at the convention, maybe not? Quote: | He estimates that there are 250 PUMA-related Web sites and 2.5 million PUMAs online. I am not sure there is metric to measure their enthusiasm, but a preliminary test will come next month when the group holds a conference in Washington to plan for Denver -- the site of the 2008 Democratic National Convention. How many PUMAs will show up? What will be the group's rallying cry? | This is probaly a lot of hot air .
Quote: If PUMAs are unsuccessful in preventing Obama from getting the nomination, what will they do?
Bower and Mann said they would cross party lines and vote for McCain; Navot noted she might write in Clinton's name or not vote at all. Tarpley said he would turn his gaze towards Green Party nominee Cynthia McKinney, Libertarian Party nominee Bob Barr or independent candidate Ralph Nader. |
But this is kind of interesting:
Quote: | Tarpley said a McCain victory might be the best result if Obama is the Democratic nominee. It would allow the party an opportunity to reflect and perhaps "radicalize it in a New Deal direction." | Yea, just what the US needs - a radicalized Democratic party?
