I don't understand why PUMA's are so angry and I don't know why they are skeptical of Obama. Not a single person, not even Joan Walsh, who is a Hillary fan, has explained the differences between the candidates' platforms.
This whole controversy in the media seems pretty mindless, devoid of any specifics, any analysis of the difference between Hillary's platform and Obama's. We even hear idiots on NPR's "Morning Edition" saying stupid shit like "Obama has asked for my money, but not my vote."
Joan! Please ENUMERATE the policy differences that P.U.M.A.'s and Obama skeptics at the Convention are talking about. What differences are there? What are they demanding of Obama? If there are no substantive differences between their platforms, I can't figure out why they are so passionate for Hillary other than this whole affair is nothing more than mindless identity politics and fodder for Republican trolling.
