I was optimistic about both Hillary and Obama. I thought both were good candidates, and both inspired many people across this country that we would have a different leadership in the U.S. in the next 4-8 years. However, I've learned now about the group PUMAs and the potential of their influence in this election.

These individuals, based in blogger-land, are so rabidly pro-HRC that they refuse to back Obama. Instead, what, to stick to the country because they didn't get their candidate this time?, they are turning their votes to McCain.

In the grand scheme of political positions, I DO.NOT.GET.THIS. I have compared Hillary an Obama position by position, and their platforms are so similar that I didn't see one as any great evil over the other. I DO see McCain's positions as incongruent with Hillary's, and anyone who states that they are voting for McCain due to POLITICS, are really just engaging in a popularity contest.

I LIKE Hillary! I voted for HIllary. I wanted President Hillary Clinton. However, from a political issues perspective, I cannot support the mindset of this group.

It's not about party unity. It's about the issues. If you CARE about the issues, and you supported Hillary based on her positions on those issues, your vote would turn to Obama, or you would abstain. You would NOT turn to McCain.
