Definitely not. I think what you're referring to is a rumor that got started about the woman who founded the PUMA-PAC, which turned out not to be true; she's a long-time Democrat. I can give you the details if you're interested. There may be Republicans hiding out among the PUMAs, and it's not impossible some are contributing in the hope of furthering McCain's candidacy, but the people who consider themselves PUMAs do so because they're Hillary supporters. Not that many of those among Republicans. And again, it's important to recognize that many who've been supporting Hillary (moi included) are doing so not because they think she's the cat's meow but because they really, really don't like Obama. > Seems kinda Nixonian.

Line up with Republicans, you mean? Not all of them by any means are doing that. Some say they'll vote for Cynthia McKinney of the Green Party; some say they'll leave the choice for president blank but vote for downticket Dems; some say they'll write in Hillary; some say they're going to stay home. Some *do* say they'll vote for McCain, not because they prefer a Republican but because he's a known quantity. I won't be voting for McCain, but I'm not sure what I will do yet. > If there are really 18 million PUMAs, why don't they > each donate a dollar to retiring Hillary's debt? There aren't anything like 18 million PUMAs; 18 million is the number who voted for her in the primaries. Many PUMAs *are* contributing to retire Hillary's debt, however.
