Huffington Post...a place for PUMAs to post now?
I did not realize that was happening. It seems like the day before an important election this post appears with many of the well known of that group posting in the comments..

I don't want to put any of the post here, read it if you want.

But I find it odd for Huffington Post to be home to such a post and comments as this, leading back to a PUMA blog.

Maybe I don't go there enough, and I did not realize what was happening there.

Clinton Democrats: The Media Has Got it All Wrong

The Huff Post appears to be allowing free rein today, the day before the election, to those Democrats who support McCain. To those Democrats who want the party purged of all the present leaders.

That's a shame.

1. Who cares? They'll be utterly deflated tomorrow night. Not much can happen now to change that.

2. Huff Post evens monitors comments.
So for this post to be there means they approve of such stuff.

I care if that is what that site is becoming.

3. She entitled to her opinion but I think she will now start posting
at the daily beast now. There is a realignment going on.

4. To be fair, I don't think they have ever exercised much control
over their comments section. It's not heavily moderated the way DU is, and I think they pretty much allow anyone to say anything. I know I've seen plenty of comments there that have had me in shock.

One more day, and all this shit will be over.

5. Odd timing. Plus, most PUMAs have thrown Hillary and Bill under the bus because of their stumping
for Obama.

They also just posted an article by PUMA "lady lynn" the other day...it was much worse during the DNC convention week, they posted all of these ops by supposed former Clinton supporters who were now supporting McCain...again, not sure why.

7. Fuck whomever wrote this part:
"Leake has a theory as to why the Democratic Party rigged the election to favor Obama by not including two states Clinton won. "The Democratic Party is a disaster. I think it was so after 8 years of Bush that it was eager to purge the party of Reagan Democrats and create a new coalition of youth voters."

To them, go to fucking hell. I'm sick of the whining over these two states. He won, she lost, they need to get over their conspiracy theory and work to prevent whatever happened from happening again.

Obama played by the rules, others went along and then cried foul.

Fuck them.
