What's it all aboot?

Is it about the person or the issues. The party or the candidate?

Obama supporters frequently get accused of being beholden to some sort of cult of personality; hence the "celebrity" ad. This I think is true for some, if not many, followers of any candidate, be it Kerry, Bush, Gore, Clinton or Kucinich.

That is the "world as it is". The world "as it should be" would focus on issues and platforms.

Now that Senator Hillary Clinton has once again and unambiguously thrown her support behind Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden, what then is left to fuel any argument the PUMAs have?

None.

If you supported Hillary Clinton because of a particular policy position, then lobby the position. Not the person.

If you supported Hillary Clinton because she is Hillary Clinton, then, well, what can I say to you? She is not the nominee.

There will be ten people to pile on in response to me with testimony about how angry they are, how they don't like (that's what comes down to, like and dislike) Obama and will write in Clinton, vote Green, vote McCain. That is equal to saying you do not believe in the issues, positions and platform of the Democratic party.

All I want is some honesty on the issue, because PUMA is a dishonest movement, and invalid movement, lacking in rationale unless viewed through the prism of its most vocal instigators: Republicans posing as Democrats.

I consider the books closed. Anyone who breathes the word PUMA is now and forever the opposition.

Could use to be knocked down a few pegs.

Just like the US has been knocked down a few pegs.

Here's an example of the inanity:

No matter what, Barack Obama should not confuse the campaign trail with a college classroom. He shouldn't agonize, Hamlet-like, over every thorny issue. He taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1992 to 2004, and it often shows.

His answers can be, well, professorial, textured.

For instance, when asked about the existence of evil, Obama discoursed over how evil exists in the world in many forms. On city streets. In homes when children are abused. Evil that is sometimes even perpetrated in the name of good.

Rival John McCain: The only thing to do with evil is "defeat it."

Thank you, Senator Clinton.

You are a liar. I hope you get right with your God for that.

Rest in peace, Del. I'm glad you finally got a chance to exchange vows. My heart is heavy today.

"Barack Obama is ready to lead America," he tells an adoring crowd -- and suddenly Clinton haters who predicted mayhem in Denver are 0 for 2

Can you hear an echo in that tunnel you view the world through?

Can you please tell your Editor in Chief to focus on Fox more than MSNBC? Clearly, they gave "her" slot to someone with better bona fides: Dr Rachel Maddow.

Watch Tuesday night's Daily Show for some coping techniques.

snap out of it!

Where have I seen that headline before?

I don't know why he didn't select Clinton. It seemed like a no-brainer

Well Jeb, if you had a brain maybe about thirty seconds of deep introspection would have lead you to the idea that Obama had every reason in the world not to nominate Clinton as VP.

She comes with nearly 50% negatives, she ran an underhanded campaign, and she is not nearly as smart of talented as people insist she is -- or I have yet to see any proof. Also, she comes with Bill.

Yes, it is a no-brainer: Vice Presidential Nominee Hillary Clinton means President-elect John McCain.

I see you are a new reader!

c'mon joan, you're going to vote for her, right....puma in hiding

Hiding? If that's hiding its as subtle as a root canal.

You have a lot of interesting ideas. Want to meet up sometime and discuss? I know a great little stall in the airport.

Strictly top, no scat.

Don't be so coy, you tease.
