PUMA attacks Palin!!!!

In an interview with CNN, Hilary Clinton discussed her opinion on a woman in the White House. She said,

“Well, I would like to see the very first woman in the White House who I agree with and who I think has policies that would really fulfill the goals that I have for our country. Of course it's exciting to have a woman on the ticket. The Democrats had a vice presidential candidate as a woman back in 1984. The Republicans did it this year. But that, in and of itself, is not enough reason, and really no one will shatter that ceiling until we have a woman serving as president or vice president. But I am going to be supporting women and men with whom I agree -- who I believe have the right policies and the right ideas about what's best for America.”

Despite the “Palin bump” and what some seemed to see as a shift in party support because of the introduction of a woman on the ticket, Palin’s nomination actually helped to reunify the Democratic Party. Many people thought that women would vote for Palin to see a woman in office, despite her “anti-woman” record and policies. Former Clinton supporters have seen the danger of electing the McCain/Palin ticket, and chose to support Obama in response, after their boycott of support because of their disappointment in Clinton’s loss.

The “Puma Effect”, as explained here, was comprised of Clinton supporters who had boycotted Obama. PUMA stands for “Party Unity My Ass,” and it had hurt Obama in the early summer. Strangely, it’s the Pumas that have supported Obama that have pushed him ahead in polls in key states.

 

What's the difference between Palin and a Puma?

Lipstick?
