Calm Down, PUMAs

[From 8/27/08, in response to Hillary Clinton supporters who threaten to vote for John McCain.]

To the editor:

I’m sure that Marilyn Gale (“Obama’s choice of Biden shows disrespect for women,” Aug. 27) and Dale Ballinger (“Obama lost election with his choice,” Aug. 27) did not support Hillary Clinton for president because they wanted four more years of Bush-like governance. Why then would they vote for a candidate who will give them just that?

Clinton supporters, voting for Barack Obama will get you more of what you want than voting for John McCain will. You would do well to heed the questions Hillary asked Tuesday night at the Democratic Convention: Were you in this campaign just for her? Or were you in it for all the people in this country who feel invisible?

Hillary Clinton doesn’t want John McCain to be president. Why do you?
