Random Action Steps for PUMAS - Get Ready for Denver

by: campskunk

Mon Jul 07, 2008 at 13:04:28 PM EDT


Just in case I hit something you didn't as you perused the PUMAsphere following the holiday weekend:

1) Heidi Li (of the Denver Group) has a peek behind the curtain at the negotiations between Hillary and Obama about her role at the convention. Tasty sample:

I think it is a safe bet that the Obama camp wants an agreement with the Clinton camp that can be announced in the third week of July, just four weeks from the convention, an announcement that would indicate that Senator Obama, the presumptive nominee, will get his coronation.

I believe Senator Clinton is resisting such a spectacle. Apart from continuing to asking for donations to retire the debt, she has never said she did not want her name entered into nomination.

Obama is terrified of a roll call vote, because he's depending on stampeded superdelegates to give him the votes he couldn't earn, steal or bamboozle from pledged delegates during the primaries.  It's going to look like a Baath party convention during Saddam's tenure without a roll call vote, but Obama really, really doesn't care. Hell, at least we had a roll call in Chicago in 1968, even while Humphrey was stealing the nominaton.

2) Hearings are underway this morning about the Texas caucus fraud perpetrated by the Obama campaign. Texas politics doesn't change much - maybe the Obama people were channeling Lyndon Johnson and ballot box #13 or something - I dunno. Lynette Long has a blog post up about it.

3) Check out Riverdaughter's morning post about efforts to get set up for Denver. puma pac and the Denver Group could use donations, and RiseHillaryRise/18 million voices has information for people going to Denver. All three are on our blog roll for future reference.

Ain't that the truth!


it's a delicate situation... (0.00 / 0)
...and exactly the situation Obamazoids like Donna Brazile used to criticize the superdelegate system back when they thought Hillary would be ahead.

hey, has Donna quit the party yet, like she promised to do if the superdelegates selected the nominee? a lot of other people sure have ;-)

Barack Obama's election proves that any male can grow up to be president, provided he's willing to use misogyny as a campaign strategy.

Well, I think Sen. Clinton indeed wants a roll call vote, check this vid. http://youtube.com/watch?v=KMx... (3 min)

"i have a lot of delegates who are going to come to the convention and want an opportunity to express their support for me..."

well, she's right about that ;-)

sounds right (0.00 / 0)
sounds like he'd feel humiliated if he won by a few hundred votes and not by universal acclaim. But it's dumb, he's moving to the right on the war and on abortion and on FISA, the differences with John McCain are getting harder to see,  and the one way to unify is to show respect to Hillary, even if that means he can't be sure some supers wouldn't take the opportunity to switch.  He has to look like a cheat even in the convention and deprive her 18 mil supporters from getting to cheer over how close she came? Stupid man.  

Hillary - alternative energy

About the Texas caucus.. (0.00 / 0)
This comment from Lynnette's post jumped out at me.
While they are at it they need to investigate why all of the caucus delegates were awarded when they only tallied 41% of the ballots. They just stopped counting them.

So Obama is claiming delegates that he hasn't earned, right? How can you "win" a state when less than 50% of the votes were counted? Why is this not being screamed from the rooftops?? Never mind shouting it, SCREAM IT!! Will the Democratic Party allow its historic candidate to cheat his way to the election? Yes, it appears that they will. And party hearty after he does it too. Shame on them. Shame. Shame. Shame. How do they expect anyone to trust them ever again after this?? I certainly won't.

Live your life in such a way that when your feet
hit the floor in the morning, Satan shudders & says
'Oh $#!%'...she's awake!!

Eons group now has thirteen members- and we are posting away! News items, action ideas, discussions! Two have told me they have gone to Just Say No Deal and PumaPAc to register- hooray!

I did have to counter an accusation on the old Eons group claiming PUMA was a republican front- GRR! But I politely got the truth in edgewise. Shortly after that we added 12 and 13 to the group- so maybe I am having an impcat?

I posted the Declaration of Objections on the group page with a link to Annabelle's blog too!  


That's how you do it, PMM (0.00 / 0)
Politely getting the truth in edgewise. Sounds like a good tag line for your group!

I'm a Stantonian Democrat.

Denver (0.00 / 0)
A couple of months ago, some of us approached the Obama's camp through the delegates and asked them about a rumor that was floating through the vines concerning Mr.Obama orgin of birth. While we express our concern , magically a fighthesmear website came up and immediately placed a birth certificate image to assure all that this was a smear and that the birth certificate was there for all to see and review.

Yes, it was reviewed by experts, and unfortunately was found to be a phoney. So, where is the real birth certificate? We demand to know! If the embarrassment of being a "bastard" and this is the reason to not show your birth certificate, in this day and age, that is not of importance. If it is because on the race of Obama's father is states Muslim, that is nothing to be embarrassed about neither, if it is because obama's middle name is Mohammad, that too, is nothing to be alarm about. But, if it is because YOU are not qualified to be running for the Presidency, it is best to put it out now, than to be dragged out of the whitehouse by Congress. This way, you can go back to Illinois and enjoy your senator's duties and the golden girl can govern as should Be! Do it before Denver!


"Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. When you stumble, keep faith. When you?re knocked down, get right back up. And NEVER listen to anyone who says you can't or shouldn't go on."
