Has PUMA Met Its Match?

Tommy,

I'm giving you a "virtual" standing ovation.

Tommy, Wow! I also would like to thank you. I love it.

We are a coalition of millions! More people voted for hillary then any democrat in history- doesnt that tell you obots anything? we dont want your selected candidate!
Christina is a downright liar!
I will NEVER support that racist Barack Hussein.. i will support john mccain because he is a man who loves his country, who fought for his country, and who wont lead us into being a nation of disgrace!i will not vote barr or nader because they wont win! I wont throw away a vote on some 3rd party and risk B.O taking office.
maybe you should ask "the anti-puma" do to a little more research before she goes mouthing off!

Don't judge PUMA by the money they raise--all praise to Obama when he claims small donations (if you are willing to believe it), but PUMA contributions come from small donors, too--many of whom sacrifice in order to Retire the Debt. I've given more than I can afford, but through other sites. Though not a PUMA, I will not vote for Obama; I doubt JMcC will get my vote either. I'm not bitter, I'm angry, righteously angry, at the way the primary has been handled by the Dem. Party, who ignored bullying and deception and engaged in very undemocratic practices. The reason Obama won't get my vote is simply because I think he is unqualified to be president. That's it.

We are a coalition of millions!!
Christina is a downright liar!
Why dont you tell you her to do some more research before she goes mouthing off.
more people voted for hillary clinton than any candidate in history.. that should tell you obamabots something.. we dont want your selected nominee!
i will support john mccain because he loves his country, he fought for this country, and I know that he will do the right things for this country. Obama is a disgrace to the democrat party and this nation.

I don't think that even TC believes what he's reporting. He keeps hammering and hammering about PUMA and I think his nerves are getting the best of him. What's with you TC? Don't you know, with or without PUMAPAC there are millions of us who will NEVER vote for Obama. Did you actually think by posting Christina's web site - we would go there and change our minds? All she's doing is insulting people. It won't work!

Don't worry Tommy, PUMA is doing a fine job...


Susan Estrich: It Should Be a Democratic Year

July polls don’t tell you who’s going to win in November........

So here’s the bottom line. The polls make me nervous. Not desperate, not hopeless, not resigned, but nervous. Barack Obama should be ahead right now.
Way ahead. Not even close is how it should look, even though I wouldn’t for a minute tell you that if it were that would seal the deal.

===============
Gallup Daily: Obama 45%, McCain 44%Though not a significant change,Obama’s support has dropped out of “zone”-- For the first time in more than two
weeks, Gallup Poll Daily tracking finds support for Barack Obama falling outside the 46% to 48% zone that had given him a consistent lead over John McCain
since late June.
===============
Rasmussen Poll: Friday, July 18, 2008 t
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 44% of the vote while John McCain earns 42%. When "leaners"
are included, it’s Obama 47% and McCain 46% (see recent daily results).

McCain is viewed favorably by 56% of voters, Obama by 55%. Could it be that people are figuring out the real Obama? That the party is handing the Presidency to McCain by default? That party unity is but a dream if the Obama Boy is the candidate?

PUMAs don't have to be told

Obama trip a good idea?

On issues of national security and foreign affairs, Obama trails badly.

In the recent Washington Post/ABC News poll, when voters are asked which candidate would be a good commander in chief, McCain clobbers Obama by 24 points (72 to 48), and when voters are asked which
candidate knows enough about world affairs to serve effectively as president, McCain beats him by 16 points (72 to 56).

Will Obama's world tour help?

The trip poses big risks. Here are a few that could turn Obama Does

Europe into a nightmare:

The Big Gaffe: All those cameras mean any substantive slip-up will be magnified. There's no indication that the Obama team will be letting the foreign press question him, and for good reason—they're often tougher than the U.S. press corps. If they do get to fire some questions, the trouble goes up.

Scaredy Cat? Also, in the war zones where Obama might wear a protective helmet and flak jacket, there's the danger that a wayward picture might make him look ill at ease, shades of Michael Dukakis taking his
infamous tank ride. You'll know the Obama team played it right if you see a limited number of photographs—or perhaps none at all—of the candidate in protective gear.

Phony Junket: McCain's team will charge that Obama isn't working; he's just going overseas to make pretty pictures. In diplomatic relations, good pictures and goodwill matter, but there's truth to this charge—he's not going to Germany or Iraq to negotiate a treaty or anything. No real work is being done,

Hubris Alert: Who does Obama think he is? He's not the president. He's not even his party's official nominee yet. Obama has no shortage of self-confidence. If the trip looks a little too presumptuous, voters who have doubts about his experience might wonder where he gets off acting a part they haven't given him yet.

T.C.

This is just too good. I'll run and get my popcorn and be right back. They "BMW" are on another of your sites claiming they are receiving threats. Yea, right. Shall I email Rush and tell him the "Jig is Up?" You know how deliriously happy I am "PUMA BUSTED AGAIN." Great Job !!!!

PUMAs already know..............

The Audacity of Vanity
By Charles Krauthammer

WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama wants to speak at the Brandenburg Gate.

He figures it would be a nice backdrop. The supporting cast -- a cheering audience and a few fainting frauleins -- would be a picturesque way to bolster his foreign policy credentials.

What Obama does not seem to understand is that the Brandenburg Gate is something you earn.

Who is Obama representing? And what exactly has he done in his lifetime to merit appropriating the Brandenburg Gate as a campaign prop?

Americans are beginning to notice Obama's elevated opinion of himself.

There's nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?

(The Germans have now gently nudged Obama into looking at other venues.)

Obama is a three-year senator without a single important legislative achievement to his name, a former Illinois state senator who voted "present" nearly 130 times. As president of the Harvard Law Review, as law professor and as legislator, has he ever produced a single notable piece of scholarship? Written a single memorable article? His most memorable work is a biography of his favorite subject: himself.

I'm not a PUMA but Obama will still not get my vote. This election I'll take a deep breath, hold my nose and vote for Nadar.

Tommy will you do a story for us explaining why in spite of his millions he is dropping in the polls?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Tommy, would you try to explain why,,in what should be a landslide year for Democrats. McCain, who is not that great a candidate, and has been outspent at least 3/1, is holding his own?

Could it be Democrats will not vote for Obama?

Obama 08

Oh, I already know about that blog of hers. :) It's cool to see what you give credence to and what you don't. Very interesting. Just Say No Deal and PUMA do get a lot of press, and she probably wants a piece of it. As you can see in the ABC 13 article, she sort of tags along behind the PUMAs. I have no doubt she believes in her cause, but even you know, TC, that many of us have always been long-term Hillary supporters.

OK, TC, how many times do I have to explain to you that Puma pac is just one website under the umbrella "Just Say No Deal." Actually, I think Murphy's amount is great. I already knew about it, btw. There are many many places to send money. Puma pac has it's own individual goals on what to raise money for, and others have theirs. It's really a fantastic balance. So many projects. Honestly, almost more than I can keep up with.

Also, how many times do I have to tell you that it is not, I repeat, not just online people. How many times before you hear me? Some of the pumas on JSND are individual activists, some are forums, and some are pacs, etc, etc. A lot of these people are connected to organizations outside of the internet as well. Some of them are HillRaisers. You kept thinking that Puma Pac meant all Pumas--I hope you get it now??

Also, I think what you may not be getting is that ANY democrat who will not fall in line and vote for the selected nominee should he become official are PUMAS. It just means Party Unity My Ass. Obviously there are many millions of them.

I don't see why this is so shocking. Like, I have said before, the term "Reagan Democrats" exists for a reason.

I don't get why TC is so bewildered on why there are millions of Pumas, there is no way one could be clueless considering we have been saying the SAME THINGS for months. Why is there sudden shock? Very strange. I guess people just weren't listening.

Here, please watch "Fractured Fairy Tales" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvuMDmqwwbI

TC asks:

"Why would a "movement" like Just Say No Deal spread itself out over 60 kajillion websites, instead of concentrating its resources in one place?"

That's a legitimate question. The truth is that many of these places have existed for many months--even years--and throwing websites into one spot made it the fast and easy way to meet one another. I had been aware of a majority of them long before the "Just Say No deal" coalition. As you know, I spent a lot of time here, but I always paid attention to pro-Hillary and anti-Obama sites. Also, I think the plan actually works a lot better to keep it individualized instead of one mega fully unified site. It has to be like that because some of the bloggers are just way too moved in, and they have their own big groups of Pumas and friends. It would be too...corporate to all be in the same exact forum, ya know? Makes sense? But probably down the line, there will be something like that. I would prefer that it not be that way though. I like it as is.


TC asks:
"I also have to scratch my head and wonder why, of the gazillion JSND sites that specifically redirect Hillary's votes to another candidate, why is that candidate always John McCain?"

That's another good question. First, I just want to repeat that some will write Hillary in (depending on state), some may not vote, some may vote for him if she is on the ticket, some actually do look to the green party (McKinney), and I've heard Nader less--I have not heard many say anything about Ron Paul or Barr though. McCain is OFTEN the one mentioned for obvious reasons: He is our opponent's opponent. Voting for a third party is often perceived as a throw-away vote, because we all know that that person will not win the White House no matter what. Some people perceive that a protest vote to republicans is actually a left right punch. A one two.

**Also, do not worry about the Action Center. :D ;) He he.

So, what's going to be the case? Are you guys just going to be in denial that not all democrats will fall in line for the crappy DNC? What's it going to take? If Obama becomes the official nominee, and he goes to the general election, and millions of democrats do not vote for him, but vote McCain---will you believe it then? You'll just have to, right?

It'll be too late by then.

C.Jenkins if you would read the news, watch the polls; instead of just issuing meaningless rhetoric,
you might actually learn something.

C. Jenkins,

Hold the Jiffy Pop! Breaking News: Phil Gramm just quit the McCain campaign!

you ever heard of reagan democrats, c. jenkins know it all obama slave........? has anyone ever seen tommy christopher on the national news ? justsaynodeal/pumas have been everywhere. everyday, new groups are forming into a huge coalition just saying no deal to the messiah bullshitter. get over it and get used to it....party united my ass, never until we take it back from its corruption by obama inc. and just in case, mccain gets most of our votes over gaffes are us, obama.
