Attention PUMAs: Avenge Hillary! Important Action Alert Follows!
Street protests are nice and the idea of a symbolic roll call for your gal Hillary isn't going to get the job done in the end. So what's a pissed off Hillary voter supposed to do? Noted Neo-Con William Kristol has a way you can make a statement and history.
...(I)f the VP is supposed to handle the Democrats’ populist economic message: after the last few months of the primary campaign, it would be hard to say Hillary hasn’t proven herself an awfully good carrier of that message. And Hillary can performi the attacking functions of the VP nominee as well as Biden.
Will the Democratic party, which is committed (to say the least) to gender equity, and which in fact has a 50 percent quota for female delegates, accept Obama’s imposition of a glass ceiling at its convention?
A modest suggestion to my justifiably outraged Democratic friends: Hillary’s name should be placed in nomination not for the presidency (Obama won that more or less fair and square)--but for the vice presidency. It would be an interesting roll call vote.
PUMAs! Attack!
In the meantime, I'll be stocking up on popcorn.
