Many in the land of PUMAs are excited that he made a bold move to name a woman. McCain's move is in line with his maverick reputation. He clearly wanted a Washington outsider and he got one. If McCain could have chosen Hillary that would have been even more monumental. I know. I'm a dreamer.A fellow PUMA sent me a link to a post that lays out how Sarah Palin's experience is much stronger than Barack Obama's. Good choice, John McCain! ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-30:27d5eaac-757f-4e6b-b069-d4f7e80eb74a POC PUMA 2008-08-30T15:05:00Z 2008-08-30T15:05:00Z I had a restlless night of sleep. I tried to get some rest, but I kept waking up to the real nightmare of the coronation of Barack Obama the night before.Friday, August 29th, and it was time to go home back East. I lumbered out of my bed and got on my knees for prayer. After my daily prayers, I showered, packed my belongings and headed for the airport for a 7:30am flight.I got on the road at 5:45am, and my trusty GPS indicated an arrival time of 6:30am. I knew that I may be cutting ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-29:3d44f736-6146-42fe-9408-32b32838cdae POC PUMA 2008-08-29T20:03:00Z 2008-08-29T20:03:00Z I did not do a lot on the Thursday, August 28th, the day of Barack Obama's coronation. Many PUMAs left town the day before to regroup for the continued prowl for NObama. They know "it ain't over, until it's over."After a good night's rest, I said my prayers and then connected with my wife over the phone. While speaking with my wife, she let me know that she was very upset at the Democratic Party and wanted former president Bill Clinton to use his prime time speaking opportunity to chastise the party leaders. I concurred. ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-28:6d6a2663-f46e-41f6-82f4-3a3d354dcdbd POC PUMA 2008-08-28T16:55:00Z 2008-08-28T16:55:00Z Here's how things went on Wednesday, August 27th. I awoke, said my prayers, talked to my wife over the phone, and eventually got online. I posted a blog entry on POCPUMA.com. I put my game face on and picked up two PUMAs who needed a ride to the PUMA Den. We proceeded to the PUMA Den, and on our way we saw Invesco Field, the venue for Barack Obama's acceptance speech. We passed it and talked about how Barack Obama, the god, is looking forward to the masses bowing down and adoring him there. ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-27:5eb55cdc-a5d9-446c-a4ee-7514418054dd POC PUMA 2008-08-27T16:50:00Z 2008-08-27T16:50:00Z Before going into Denver today, I wanted to give you an update on what I did yesterday, Tuesday, August 26th.First thing, I connected with like-minded soldiers at the place that has been dubbed the "PUMA Den." It's a place to talk, plan, blog, rest, and get refreshed. Really, a sight to see.After hanging out at the PUMA Den, I proceeded to a luncheon for Hilary Clinton, which was organized by the Women Count organization. What a sea of people! Stephanie Tubbs Jones was honored at this event, and that was fitting and wonderful. Eventually, Hillary ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-26:060152ee-af67-4782-ad23-2b1f7f642d51 POC PUMA 2008-08-26T16:44:00Z 2008-08-26T16:44:00Z I participated in a march through downtown Denver. We held signs and flyers, while chanting a range of PUMA points."We will not fall in line!"..."What do we want? Democracy! When do we want it? Now!..."No back-room deals"..."Let the delegates vote!"..."John Dean must go!"..."Nancy Pelosi Must go!"An awsome experience, indeed. Many of us were approached by the media and other interested by-standers. We were cheered on by many people we passed.Eventually, we landed at the place where MSNBC's Chris Matthews was broadcasting. We had a huge "Hillary Clinton For President" sign held up. ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-25:e0bdae3d-ced5-45c4-a945-66ebf779daf3 POC PUMA 2008-08-25T04:05:00Z 2008-08-25T04:05:00Z As the Democratic Party’s convention is upon us, I am taking time to reflect on why I am part of the PUMA/JustSayNoDeal coalition. The one common goal for those who are part of this movement is that we will not cast a vote for Barack Obama, should he become the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee.I can sum up my views on Barack Obama this way. When I scrutinize him, I cannot support him!Let me count the ways of NObama.1.

This is a tremendous slap in the face to Hillary Clinton and all of her supporters!Obama even said that Clinton was worthy and strong enough to be put on anyone’s short list for the VP slot. Just words from “The One.”Joe Biden said during his campaigning that the US presidency is not a job for the inexperienced Obama.

She was a loyal Democrat who worked tirelessly for the interests of both her constituents in Ohio and other Americans. As the first African-American woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from the Buckeye State, she was truly a pioneer and barrier-breaker.Stephanie Tubbs Jones, we say thank you for all you have done for us, as a great and honorable public servant.

I was in Hillary Clinton’s corner, while my wife was in Barack Obama’s.Briefly, this is how we learned of each other’s views. At some point, my wife and I had a heartwarming political discussion of “whom do you support, and why.” I don’t recall exactly how the discussion started, but since I am the one who’s writing this blog entry, I’ll blame my wife with landing the first salvo. She asked me, “What do you think about ... tag:blogspot.pocpuma.com,2008-08-15:33c6334e-e13d-4aa3-95b0-80678e5bc099 POC PUMA 2008-08-15T07:20:00Z 2008-08-15T07:20:00Z Hillary Clinton's name will be put in nomination at the Democratic Party's convention!Convention delegates and the efforts of the PUMA/JustSayNoDeal movement were critical in getting this done. The job is not done, however. Convention delegates must know that they should proudly represent the 18 million voters who supported Hillary Clinton. To do otherwise, is an "Obamanation!"Continue to inform others of this simple fact.

I am appalled at any Democratic Party process that is not fair and democratic. I am appalled to learn that the caucuses are a slap in the face to the democratic principle of one "one person, one vote."
