re: #139 SanFranciscoZionist

I’m not sure how real the PUMA thing ever was. I know a couple of people who were Democrats and committed Hillary people, didn’t care for Obama, and didn’t vote for him, or anyone. Given that all of these people live in California, this was purely an act of personal loyalty with no chance of harming the party.

I recall that in the days coming up to the election on this site, a lot of people were counting on the PUMAs to give McCain the election, which was nonsense. But quite a lot of the old guard here did not seem to get that Obama was going to win. It was pretty clear some time out, but they just couldn’t adapt to the idea.

I left here, pretty much in Sept 2008, in fact, the weekend Palin was announced. I got into a terrible row and realized that I couldn’t come back here anymore. If things remained as they were, I never would have returned.

No flounce either, I just poofed. Imagine that. The Non-Flounce Flounce!

The PUMAs at least gave an impression of being organized and a “force” of some sort.
