"And finally ...... we're waiting to see if former Hillary Clinton voters will get behind Obama." |
|
Huh?????
:wtf:
(Heard on MSNBC, those words uttered by Mark Murray, the MSNBC assistant political director and professional jaw flapper.)

2. They want a close race for the ratings |
|
Blowouts and landslides don't generate ratings, so they babble to create the appearance of a close race. Then on election night when they are proven wrong, they just pretend like they knew it all along.

3. The media is fueling this whole PUMA thing as much as it can |
|
Without all this media attention, without FAUX News fawning all over them, this whole PUMA nonsense would have evaporated rather quickly. Instead, the media seems enthralled by this whole "over my dead body" attitude among some "Hillary supporters". I question just how sincere that support really was, since many of these seemed all to eager and ready to jump ship for McCain, even as Hillary herself was urging her supporters to back Obama.

If you're really up for it - and you really have to have a strong stomach for this - check out the following websites: http://www.hillaryclintonforum.nethttp://www.hillaryis44.orgThe first one is particularly odious. Might as well spend a few hours in freeperland.

9. Even in the face of those pesky facts |
|
Would Obama be leading in the polls if there was a mass defection of Hillary voters?
What about all of the Republicans and Independent voters Obama is attracting who would never vote for Hillary because they think she is Satan Incarnate (with all due respect to Hillary).

4. Gotta keep people thinking it's a close race. |
|
God knows why... but apparently it makes people want to watch those assholes clown around.
