Sen. Hillary Clinton suspended her presidential campaign last week.
Sen. Hillary Clinton suspended her presidential campaign last week.

(CNN) – After eight years of a Bush White House, Will Bower was looking for a Democrat to move into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in January 2009. But not just any Democrat. Bower wanted Hillary Clinton to win the Democratic nomination and move back into the home she left in January 1993.

After a bitter primary battle Clinton conceded the race to Barack Obama last week urging her supporters to back her rival. Bower heard the message, but he is not going to follow it. Instead, he said in an interview he plans to vote for Republican John McCain and has formed “Party Unity My A–,” otherwise known as PUMA to express his frustration at the Democratic Party.

WATCH: Hillary Clinton throw her support behind Obama

The initiative he said is “to unite voters who don't want Barack Obama as president.”

The 36 year-old Washington resident said his anger is not just directed at Obama, but the party as a whole.

“[The] Democratic Party has thrown away democratic principles through this primary season," charged Bower, who pointed to the delegate sanctions levied by the DNC against Michigan and Florida. "If parties won't uphold democratic principles; who will?"

The group is predominantly comprised of female Clinton supporters, said Bower. The Clinton-turned-McCain supporter said he has also helped launch the “Just Say No Deal,” a nationwide coalition he estimated has two million voters who are also vowing to ‘say no’ to the Illinois senator come November.

Bower acknowledged Obama will be crowned the Democratic nominee at the party’s August convention, but said he holds out hope that the GOP will uncover potentially harmful information between now and then. At that time, “the party might be desperate for another candidate," he said.

PUMA ??
Very interesting, although I think the Democratic Party has gotten too big and needs to split into two parties…one for the left wingers, and one for the more moderate Democrats.

A lot of Dems feel left wingers Howard Dean and Nancy Pelosi treated Hillary unfairly by working on the inside to promote Obama. In past national conventions the superdelegates have voted in secrecy, but in this primary election, the superdelegates were pressured into deciding early and making endorsements. This influenced the voters by the media rants. Also, more states were given caucuses while they had held primary elections in the past. Hillary did not do as well in the caucuses as she did in the primary voting states. I don't know why the DNC even has caucuses because the Democratic way is one vote for every person. That is how the general election will be held (with all the electoral votes going to the winner), so why would you want different rules when selecting your party's nominee? It's no wonder the Dem's have lost so many past elections when they go by their wacky precinct delegate apportionment rules rather than selecting the candidate with the most votes.

A lot of Democrats will vote for McCain because they feel he is more of a moderate and, although they do not share all of his views, they feel comfortable that he will have a more centrist view on several of the issues they care about. Age will not be an issue because McCain is younger than Reagan was when he ran for his second term and won. Experience will be an issue because Obama does not have a voting record to match the views and rhetoric of his speeches.

I have been a lifelong Democratic, but sometimes I feel the party has gotten too far to the left from the party I used to know. In catering to the environmentalists, the left wingers have not found common ground that will appeal to all. If countries like Canada and Norway can drill for their own oil and still have areas of pristene beauty, why can't we? We should be oil independent even as we continue our search for green energy sources. Also, in the left wingers agenda to save everyone from themselves, they seem to tax us to death to find funding for all their social programs. They seem to forget that America is not about government intervention and welfare, but about retaining the freedoms of our constitution so everyone has the right and empowerment to succeed. A lot of the people that the left wingers want to tax, are people who worked hard and pulled themselves out of a poverty existence. There must be some common ground not to penalize these people for the sake of those who have yet to find their potential.

I'm not sure who I will vote for, but I find some of the Democrat's platform hard to swallow. During the recent interogation of the oil company execs, I found it rather scarey when the California Rep. Maxine Waters told them… "guess what this liberal will be all about…about socialize…about basically taking over and the government running all the oil companies".
WHAT ???!!!

This left winger thing is beginning to smell like a Hugo Chavez socialist party. Isn't that what Chavez did with Venezuela's oil companies?
SCAREY !!! …and people wonder why some Democrats say they will vote for McCain…….at least people knew the Clintons are not extreme left wingers that want to socialize everything!

AKMtnGirl4ever   June 13th, 2008 7:48 pm ET

For all of you who say that we're all about "identity politics" and not focused on the issues:

I would have dearly loved to have a candidate who I could embrace come November. Instead, you were all swept along on Obama's wave of emotional rhetoric and have lost all ability to reason. Stop and LISTEN to him! He doesn't SAY anything! WHO IS HE???

As horrible as four more years with a Republican will be, Obama is terrifying by comparison. No thanks.

Hillary Supporter for McCain

Bob   June 13th, 2008 7:45 pm ET

Why is CNN giving this one guy such prominence? When I saw this headline, I thought, my god a DNC member, senator, congressman, etc who is not supporting Obama? That's bad….

No, it's one guy with stationary and a letterhead, wow….

Where is my story, I will be voting for Obama, bringing others to vote for him as well, donating and campaigning for him because it is the only way to stop the slide of our great nation….and guess what, enough people will join me in November that PUMA's efforts will be for naught…

Paula Diane bitterness the root of all evil   June 13th, 2008 7:40 pm ET

Clinton supporters who are truly this bitter that they would vote for a man (McCain) who does not carry one shred of the beliefs of Hillary or the Democratic party..you sound like a bunch of kids fighting in the school ground! Wake up people.. this golden chance of retaking the white house will not return any time soon.. your country is falling to bits around you and that had nothing to do with Barack Obama so give your heads a shake. This is not a dress rehersal.. get real. Alberta Canada

Lisa from Austin TX   June 13th, 2008 7:38 pm ET

Texas allows write-ins and it's going to be Hillary. I cannot vote for either Obama or McCain. I can't stomach the thought of either of them even though McCain is not the worst Republican they could drag up out of the muck. Obama's followers are clueless sheep, too lazy or too dumb to realize he is nothing but a con-artist. Makes me sick. What suckers. Baaaaaaa.

Texas Independent   June 13th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

I see the same 100 - 200 bitter Clinton supporters on these sites talking about the millions that will vote for McCarin this November. Most of the Clinton supporters are people with common sense and will vote with their party in November.

Perception is key here, if Obama lose in November and these supporters appears to have a hand in it, Hillary is doomed in 2012, if Obama wins and his supporters feel they win without her supporters, she is also doomed in 2016 (especially if he lose re-election in 2012). This is not a good place for her supporters to put her in, fortunately, it is a small group, but they can damage their candidate for the future

Marie   June 13th, 2008 7:37 pm ET

Yes indeed, McCain will win and be a one term President.
Hillary supporters will make sure it happens. I can't say that I blame them either.

Kim, Dallas, TX   June 13th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

Don't you wish some of these people could have an out of body experience so they could see just how ridiculously immature they look? Geez, maybe the DNC needs some work, but what was done was done fairly. Can you imagine if they would have done something to override the support Obama has? He won the majority of delegates, the most states, tied with the popular vote or won it depending on the measurement used, had the support of the superdelegates. If you use Michigan as your catalyst for complaints, that's just plain immature. Obama followed what the DNC expected. Clinton was the only one who defied and left her name on the ballot. It would never have been fair to give that entirely to her. Those that say they are voting for McCain as a result are very immature and selfish. Obama and Clinton stood side by side on issues. By the way, the Republican Committee didn't give full delegations to the states that defied the rules either. They were seated at 50% too…so your arguement to follow McCain as the more respected party lacks quite a bit in common sense.

why not admit that you are just angry, disappointed, but willing to support the candidate that MANY in the Democratic party support due to his stand on the issues; which are identical to Clintons but worlds apart from McCains.

myrtle   June 13th, 2008 7:35 pm ET

obama appears to be fake to me im a hillary voter and now i will vote McCain

Scott   June 13th, 2008 7:34 pm ET

Anybody who claims to be a Clinton backer and doesn't follow who she emphatically endorses, is not a Clinton backer at all. They are letting their own bitterness get in the way of what they know to be right. What a waste. We need everyone! There can be no question that Obama is the candidate most similar to Clinton left. How could you vote for anyone else?

Yes We Can   June 13th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

Sad. It's funny how the rules were perfectly fine with everyone going into this thing and once Hillary was getting punk'd, all of a sudden people ar crying foul. And how can the Hillary supporters honestly take credit for Mich & FL when Obama didn't even go there. Who's to say those are the numbers you would have gotten had all things been equal. She should have won but didn't. If her game was all that, she should have CRUSHED Obama. I was for Hillary long before Obama came along but his message of something new & better got me. I don't care how much exprience you have, there's no way to get experience for the job exept by doing the job. And as far as experience goes, we've had experienced people in the WH and look what that has gotten us. I like McCain, would have voted him over Bush or Kerry cause he's really just and old salty version of Obama in my mind, something new. I'm not voting for Obama because he's black like me, I'm voting for him because hopefully he'll try something new. I'd rather have hope than the b s we've been getting.
This guy is pathetic and a sore loser. Use some common sense and be real. I'll take my chances with the guy with the funny name vs the bitter chick any day

W Sellnow   June 13th, 2008 7:33 pm ET

We, Women here in CA, will support you, sen. McCain. Either Hillary Clinton or McCain.

Dedrick from Atlanta (in Portland)   June 13th, 2008 7:32 pm ET

To Oscar P (among others): "This is the first democracy where majority does not rule, where people's rights are counted as half votes."

Get real. This not the reason you are "objecting" to Barack Obama becoming the nominee for the Dems. If the supers overturned the true popular vote winner (where would that leave the 18 million + 1 voters who voted for Barack? This has never been a majority rule democracy. Infact we only call the US a democracy; it is truly a republic. Look up the difference betwenn the two. Majority rule didn't help Gore did it?

If you want to complain, then do something other than casting your vote for McCain. Instead do something about the electoral college for starters. Then work to reforms all voting events within our Great Nation.

No   June 13th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

Sunny florida,

Pepople like you just disgust me……..don't expect that from educated typical-white.

John   June 13th, 2008 7:31 pm ET

This guys an idiot, plain and simple, and it's a joke that CNN would promote this kind of BS. How can a person that supported Hillary actually turn around and support everything Hillary DOES NOT stand for. This is hypocrisy at it's root, and clearly an act of desperation by a pathetic, cry baby that didn't get his way. More would be expected of a 12 year old spoiled brat. ENOUGH SAID.

Here's a guarantee for everyone…. If Barack Obama is perceived to lose the Presidential race because of bitter Hillary supporters doing an about face, Hillary will never, NEVER, EVER have an opportunity to run for President again. No party, or non-party, would ever be stupid enough to risk it.

American politics, NO WAY! Unless you are trying to suggest Americans are all a bunch of low life hypocrites like this guy.

Drewman   June 13th, 2008 7:30 pm ET

Wake me up when they form the Romney Voters for Obama group, to go along with the Rev. Hagee Supporters for Democrats and the Mike Huckabee Lovers for Barack. Look, I get it- you supported a candidate who didn't win. Every candidate and every candidate's team knew the ground rules for the election well before it started. Obama's campaign ran a smarter race than Hillary's group, but that is all hindsight. It all boils down to Iowa and her third place finish. If she had just skipped Iowa if the caucuses weren't her strong suit, she wouldn't have given Barack and Edwards any momentum. But to say that you'd rather lose the White House and continue the same policies that have Democrats so energized is S-T-U-P-I-D. And what goes around comes around. Who do you think will get the blame should Obama lose in November? Remember how Democrats were running through lilly fields with joy at the quality of their presidential candidates back in the fall of '07 and at the start of the primary season? It changed when Hillary's campaign became negative and divisive. So if he loses and she runs in 2012, don't count on his supporters helping her at all. That is why you'll see her doing everything she can to get him elected, but Mr. Bower and his crew just don't get it.

kayla   June 13th, 2008 7:28 pm ET

for all you bitter hillary supporters, why don't you and mcsame pay her debt. if you really want to help her? bunch of cry babies. voting for mcsame will not help her.

Just Sayin..   June 13th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

Just proves people have nothing better to do with their time. First off this is rediculous and childess. Bower will be responsible for ruining this country like every other GOP memeber.

I ask you one question bower…HOW CAN YOU SLEEP WITH YOURSELF AT NIGHT?

Any McCain supporter deserves all thats coming…

Mr. AL   June 13th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

I am a Hillary supporter and I am African American and that being said, I will vote for McCain because he is the best choice we have. I do not share OBAMA's Liberal views and he is just too inexperienced to run our nation.

Eric   June 13th, 2008 7:27 pm ET

IVE SEEN NEWBORN BABIES THAT DONT CRY AS MUCH AS THESE HILLARY SUPPORTERS!

Not a chance Mr. Obama. We will support you Sen. McCain.
Former Clintor suppoters.

Doug from PA   June 13th, 2008 7:26 pm ET

I wanted Hillary too, but not enough to vote for McCain and risk another four or eight years of a republican administration that has led us down the wrong path economically, Foreign policy wise, and with respect to balancing our security with the constitution. If for no other reason than the Supreme court justices that will be nominated, I will honor Hillary's endorsement and stand firmly behind Sen. Obama.

Alex B.   June 13th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

I will look at the issues as soon as Senator Obama's HUGE character flaws get out of the way!

Erika, KS   June 13th, 2008 7:25 pm ET

It's not that we're going to McCain out of spite, rather he is the more experienced candidate. Obama isn't. Obama is not the best candidate.

byron l   June 13th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

how can they want unity from the democratic party but they are crossing over? this is just ignorance! Obama won! if Clinton would've won i'd vote for her. get over it.

Roscoe Drywall   June 13th, 2008 7:24 pm ET

This is a very weak article about a sad egomaniac and a few self righteous prigs. It is not news and belongs in "People" or "The National Enquirer."

The article claims, '“Just Say No Deal,” a nationwide coalition he estimated has two million voters who are also vowing to ‘say no’ to the Illinois senator come November.'

There is no substantiation for the claimed two million voters, but if McCain should win, I look forward to watching them celebrate Hilary's "victory" at his inaugural ball.

Jim in San Jose   June 13th, 2008 7:23 pm ET

Poor Will Bower. The sad little child's candidate lost and now he's going to take his marbles and go home and pout. We should all pat him on the head and wish him well.

GROW UP PEOPLE. THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY IS AT STAKE.

Hillary agreed to the rules at the beginning of the race and when they no longer suited her, she tried her best to change them. Obama didn't win, Hillary lost, by her own and her team's own admission.

Obviously Mr. Bower isn't suffering like the rest of the country under Bush, or he wouldn't be throwing his temper tantrum. Where is Super Nanny when you need her?

The Lady   June 13th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

For all the EX Clinton supporters please just go right ahead and vote for McCain, I am sick of hearing your threats. The race was over almost two weeks ago and obama won can we just move on. We get it you don't like Obama and you will never vote for him.

NC Love Obama   June 13th, 2008 7:22 pm ET

WHEN Obama WINS IN NOVEMBER, He should send all of the PUMA members to Iraq and send OUR TROOPS HOME TO THEIR WIVES AND CHILDREN

The Globe and Mail is reporting that Colin Powell told a Vancouver BC audience that he might vote for Obama. Just thought CNN might want to know.

Ann, MI   June 13th, 2008 7:20 pm ET

Get over yourselves. You are willing to throw away your values, and frankly Senator Clinton's values, because your candidate didn't win?

10 candidates declared that they wanted to be president. But only one can be first. That's why its called a race.

annie   June 13th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

There should be more people like Will Bower in this country!!!!! He is not alone with his feeling about obama, dnc and the demo party. I was a demo but never again - GO McCAIN!

Zion   June 13th, 2008 7:18 pm ET

If people like these want to leave the party because their nominee did not win, fine…. They love Hillary so much until they are willing to destroy her party in order to prove a point, fine… I was angry with Hillary but you better believe if she had won, I would have voted for her because she shares my DEMOCRATIC BELIEFS. Bower was on Fox News…THAT SAYS IT ALL.. Roger if you have to mention you're educated….Chances are..you're not.

Jason   June 13th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

These people weren't Clinton supporters—they were Clinton groupies. They cared more about the person than their stances…and when Hillary endorsed Obama, they were more concerned about their own hurt feelings than her.

McCain is the polar opposite of what both Hillary and Obama stand for, so a vote for him is a sign of a very immature person. And in the end, they won't make a bit of difference. Obama will still win by a landslide.

Tim from Eugene OR.   June 13th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

To the weak A _S person above "Anonymous" tell Rush and Hannity to be thankful Obama is going to be president or they probably wouldn't have a job over the next four years. "anonymous" just pathetic that you can't even create a name.

Hillary Supporter for McCain   June 13th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

I will vote for McCain because( I unlike many of the people in this blog) am able to put my country ahead of my party. I am American First, Democrat second.

Cheryll   June 13th, 2008 7:15 pm ET

I am not a sore loser..I am doing what I think is best for this country. Obama is not it. He is a racist, sexist and will turn the country into a socialist country beyond imagine. He will tax, tax, tax. That is the only way all his programs will be supported. Obama ran a clean campaign? Has anyone looked at the blog by his blank eyed followers. They in and of themselves will never allow me to vote for him or be party to their hatred. What they truly fear and hate is anyone who thinks for themselves and refuses to get on their bandwagon…

I feel sorry for them..they gave up their individual right to think nad make their own decisions…now they just keep repeating hate, hateful, and hate filled insanity…

Kim   June 13th, 2008 7:14 pm ET

How can any self respecting woman vote for McBush. When he returned from the war he was a womanizer who cheated on his wife who had waited eight years for his return. He then dumped her when she bacame ill and he married a young rich Barbie Doll. He has been heard and recorded , calling his current wife by foul filthy decriptive names. McBush is a bitter and dangerous old man who will put this country in worse economic condition and never ending war.

MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD SHOW HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS THE DOCUMENT SHE SIGNED AGREEING TO THE FACT THAT THE VOTES FROM FL AND MI WOULD NOT COUNT. SHE ONLY DID THAT SCANDALOUS MOVE ONCE SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS NOT WINNING. IT WAS NOT OBAMA'S FAULT.

YOU HILLARY SUPPORTERS ARE A BUNCH OF WHINNERS, I KNOW WE ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PROMOTING UNITY THROUGHOUT THE PARTY, BUT AS LONG AS YOU CRY ABOUT SOMETHING TO INSIGNIFICANT AS THIS, YOU PROVE US TO BE RIGHT!!!!

No BARAMA   June 13th, 2008 7:12 pm ET

BUSH DIDN'T V.P. MCCAIN FOR HIS TWO TERMS SO THAT BRINGS TO QUESTION, WHO'S THE SMARTEST, BUSH OR YOU?

I AM WITH BOWER   June 13th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

AND THIS IS WHY:

OBAMA’S OWN WORDS IN NOV/2004 WHEN INTERVIEWED AFTER BECOMING IL NEXT US SENATOR AND ASKED BY A REPORTER WHY HE HAD RULED OUT RUNNING NATIONALLY:

OBAMA’S RESPONSE: “YOU KNOW, I’M A BELIEVER IN KNOWING WHAT YOU’RE DOING WHEN YOU APPLY FOR A JOB AND I THINK THAT IF I WERE TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER RUNNING ON A NATIONAL TICKET, I WOULD ESSENCIALLY HAVE TO START NOW BEFORE HAVING SERVED A DAY IN THE SENATE, NOW THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO MIGHT BE COMFORTABLE DOING THAT BUT I’M NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.

I called the DNC a couple of days ago and asked them to elaborate on SPECIFIC ACCOMPLISHMENTS BY MR. OBAMA (FROM THE TIME OF HIS INTERVIEW IN NOV/2004) that they felt qualify him to run nationally, I was SO SHOCKED, the person that answered the call said he could not think of something at the moment but that he would RESEARCH my question and call me back later!

JP   June 13th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

OK, so when McCain stacks the Supreme Court with more conservatives who overturn Roe v. Wade, continues the war in Iraq which leads to thousands of more American deaths, and continues to strip away our civil liberties, we can thank the PUMAS. And if BO loses in 2008, what makes you think the Dems are going to nominate HRC in 2012? It will never happen.

Obama All The Way!   June 13th, 2008 7:11 pm ET

Good! It's a good thing they are leaving the democratic party. Better to weed out the riffraff now than later. We don't need any traitors who are flipfloppers and unreliable for the good of the nation.
And to those who say Obama isn't qualified or too young or too green, just look at your current president! That's what you are voting for in November. Maybe you like $5.00 + gas!
Go away and don't come back!

PHONY BALONEY   June 13th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

A real Hillary supporter and a real democrat would not be able to vote for McCain. This guy must've only been in it for the money. McCain has vowed to make overturning Roe a priority. He has persistently voted against women rights, civil rights, service people and homosexuals and voted with GW 95% of the time during the past eight years.

This jerk can go FH!

Roc   June 13th, 2008 7:10 pm ET

Is this guy a racist or just plain dumb? The differences between the policies of Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton are a difference without a distinction and because his candidate lost the primary he wants to vote against his best interest (if he was truly a Clinton supporter).

What an idiot along with all the other people that feel that way? I hope McCain wins and gas hits $10 per gallon, 2 million more homes get foreclosed on and we end up in a war in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. What idiots????

Experience…the same experience that led McSame to support a gas tax holiday that every economist in the country said was a dumb idea. If that's what experience gets you, you can keep it!!!

Joe - Chicago, IL   June 13th, 2008 7:09 pm ET

Can't really blame the Clinton supporters. If Clinton won the nomination, I would not have voted for her. She voted in favor of war in Iraq, which is a disqualifier for my vote. She's also related to an ex-president and I hate political dynasties, a reason I've voted against my Chicago's mayor each time he's run since I've been old enough to vote.

Clinton's political tactics can best be compared to a Suicide bomber. She unleashed issues to harm Obama that could also harm her, and she damaged the party she was counting on to help her win the general election. I suspect many democrats will remember that next time she runs, and it will make it very hard for her to win. So ultimately, PUMA is damaging Clinton as much as it damages anyone else.

I forsee a November win fueled by the outrage of Clintons supporters. I forsee a McCain second term, despite the fact the country will feel pretty apathetic about giving him a second term. I forsee the overturning of Roe v. Wade. I forsee more cramping down on our civil liberties in things like the patriot act. I forsee corporate interests put above those of the working American, and I forsee the disasterous foreign policy decisions that will bog our military down in senseless engagements while we fail to address to the real threats facing the world.

Do I blame Clinton or her spporters for this? No. Its just American politics.

jeff   June 13th, 2008 7:08 pm ET

I am a Democrat who will be voting for John McCain.

california kid   June 13th, 2008 7:07 pm ET

well I'm not voting for Obama either. I will go McCain in November.

Voice of Reason   June 13th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Although I supported Obama in the primaries, I resolved early on to support Hillary should she win the Democratic nod. I admit, I grew to hate her and her mismanaged campaign tactics, but greater than my hate for Hillary was my fear of McCain's total willingness to embrace the failed policies of the Bush administration. Were you supporting Hillary because she was potentially the first woman president, or were you supporting her because of her democratic core values? Were you supporting her because of her famous last name or because she would have initiated change in he current style of government?

I hope that you supported her because she is a Democrat and because under John McSame we can expect to see fuel prices rise to $7 per gallon, lobbyists still in control of the White House, a cold shoulder foreign policy program towards certain Mid East countries and an ongoing war in Iraq. Come on people, do not cut off your noses in spite of your faces. Like it or not, Senator Obama will be our next president, and I think it is fair to say that Hillary will support him. Don't you think you should too?

DC   June 13th, 2008 7:06 pm ET

Anybody who claims to have supported Hillary and now says they are going to vote for McCain has a hidden agenda. I believe some of them, like Bower and the members of 'Justs Say No Deal," the other group he helped launch are liars and supported McCain all along, but are trying to lure Hillary supporters to vote for McCain with their false message. The American people rejected Hillary's negative message and backed Obama's positive message. Hillary would have done better is she had talked about her vision instead of focusing on attacking Obama. Just like Hillary, these people with their negative message will be rejected. People resort to attacking others when there is really no substance to their own position. If somebody shares their vision for why McCain should be president, by all means give them the respect to hear their point. If somebody simply trashes the other side, but has no vision to share, you should suspect their motives.

H.Skank   June 13th, 2008 7:02 pm ET

What a loser

"The 36 year-old Washington resident said his anger is not just directed at Obama, but the party as a whole"

And this is why he is starting a group that doesn't want Obama to be president. Look jerk, vote for who you want but don't lie about it.

I'll be casting my vote for Obama. I don't agree with everything the party has to say, but I'll support him. And if by chance liars like this dude prevail and McCain is elected, then Roe v Wade will be overturned which was the only reason I supported the Republicans so long before abandoning them 4 years ago.

Vote for whoever you want and I will do the same. There are benefits no matter how this turns out but recognize this, if you vote for McCain, any deaths in Iraq from the time he takes office are on your head.

The Mid West Sends a Message   June 13th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

In his St. Paul victory speech, Barack Obama pledged again to pull out of Iraq. Rather than "continue a policy in Iraq that asks everything of our brave men and women in uniform and nothing of Iraqi politicians. … It's time for Iraqis to take responsibility for their future."

This is the kind of lies that Obama is quite familiar with. He will lie to get in the White House, then he will come up and say, "Well, we have to stay in a little longer." Obama will tax us also.

I suggest, if you value the truth and your wallet go to JohnMcCain.com and sign up for a stake in a new America.

An Independent Hillary   June 13th, 2008 7:01 pm ET

Face it. Obama does not have the experience that Hillary has. Yet less than qualified men constantly gain good jobs over more qualified women. Absolutely nothing has changed in this world.

Will the arrogant Obama grow into the greatest President this land has ever seen?

Or will McCain lead us all into the pit of World War 3 and appoint judges to reverse Roe v Wade?

I don't like the looks of this…

Alice   June 13th, 2008 7:00 pm ET

Will somebody please point me to the website where all the bitter conservative Republicans are threatening to vote Democratic this year because McCain got their nomination? What's that you say - that website doesn't exist?

I guess that's because Republicans have too much respect for themselves and their country to actively vote against what they see as their own and their country's best interests. Instead of throwing a big fit and picking up their ball and going home, they maturely resolve to try to influence McCain in a constructive way if they seem him going astray (in their eyes) when he is president.

It's pretty sad when it can honestly be said that manipulative and self-serving sophists like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, and Laura Ingraham have more integrity than you.

MurphyMorseJohnson   June 13th, 2008 6:57 pm ET

If gender voters want to, they can vote for the Republican economyhigher priced gas and energy, escalating mortgages, escalating food prices, less regulation over health and safety, joblessness instead of jobs, health bills instead of health, and global warming. They can also vote to support the indefinite spending of trillions more in Iraq and adding to countless lives lost. That will be that their privilege.

However, for the good of America, we will vote Democrat, Democrat, and MORE DEMOCRAT !!!

Jen in LA   June 13th, 2008 6:56 pm ET

Great…then Hillary will be blamed for costing the Democrats the election in 2008. It was pretty much handed to us by GWB. Do you really think that Hillary wants to be remembered for all of her spiteful angry supporters that were so supportive of their Democratic candidate that they voted for a Republican? I think she would prefer to leave her legacy as a woman that got far, fought hard, and was able to rally the Democratic party to a strong victory.

And she will be far more useful in the Senate with a Democratic president in charge.

Brent   June 13th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

I too wanted Hillary and am unhappy with Mr.O. I will however wait till later, listen and reserve my decision. I do respect Mr. McCain for his honesty, I very much believe he will do as he says. I really do not know what Mr. O. stands for or how he hope to accomplish his goals.

ep-ny   June 13th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

The DNC didnt do what was right or Hillary would be the primary winner she showed her self to be. They had to drag Obama over the line as Hillary pounced him 25 to 40 points in race over race. He raised great amount of money but out spent her all the way only to lose anyway. Hello?? The way to White House was in there hands but they went with apeasement. How many times I heard cannt take it away from AA's. Now we lose in Nov. No one has to lead us thats the thing Obama cannt understand. Everyone falls in line. we didnt in Pa., Ohio,Wv,Kentucky,PR,NY.,Fl, Mi so many more.Private investagation has to be called on for new registrants. They are finding thousands dead people on books and yes some voted.Hello??I am voteing for McCain cause this isnt the party i loved. Hope it comes back soon.

MORE WAR AND DRAFT   June 13th, 2008 6:55 pm ET

I am a Hillary Supporter all the way. But, voting for McCain means you were never a democrat in the first place.
Even according to Hillary……Her views are not much different than
Obama's. Any of you that vote for McCain in November could not have shared any of Hillary views since Hillary has an unrefutable stance against The Republican perspective. You would be contradicting everything you say you stand for with Hillary if you vote for McCain. Don't hide behind politics and use some lame excuse which completely mutes sound logic. Simply say you would never vote for Obama because he is not white and then we can watch housing prices fall even further thru the floor to record lows unimaginable to man, watch transportation become a luxury for the wealthy when the average american will not be able to afford fuel to get to work, and watch your children become available for the draft for the 100 year war. Then at least your being honest with your self and with society as well. I am a full red blooded white american. And if McCain is voted into office I will leave this country because I don't want to be a part of a de-evolving country that is rooted in 18th century stupidity. That is not American at all. And all of you hiding behind it need to crawl back into your caves where you belong. I know that most of these "so called Clinton Supporter" are older whites who lack education beyond the 8th grade (go figuree..democrats voting for a REPUBLICAN).
This is why there should not be healthcare until these old worlders have left this world. It is because of them this country cannot evolve.
The youth matter the most in any country because it is the youth which are the future. I strongly encourage all youth to get out and vote and negate any effects the "Old Worlders" may have in the up coming election. "It is time "

Also, they were punished just like the states that jumped for the RNC. So, where is your logic? I am lost!!!!

If you decide to vote for 4 more years of this Republican nonsense then go right ahead. There is no way..JMcCain doesn't even write his own speeches…can he think for himself? He does as he told and reads what they tell him to read. Go ahead and support that…

Jan,

DNC is nothing, but a group of corrupt business men. Like you said correctly "did what they thought was right". Well, we are people and we think what's right for us. We don't have to agree with DNC and follow them blindly. This isn't Russia or Cuba where the elections are held when the leader is unable to rule the country and there's only one person on the ballot. We are THE GOVERNMENT RUN BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE–It's in the Constitution I believe. That's why DNC is finished. FOREVER!!! If you like what they "decided" then why don't you participate in COMMUNISTIC elections in one of the countries run by dictators.

President Putin in Russia, says that people are voting for their President. It's complet bull s**t. He presented Medvedev as his successor–PUTIN DECIDED FOR THE PEOPLE WHAT WAS RIGHT!!!
I CAN'T STAND OBAMA AND WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM!!! HE THINKS HE CAN BUY ME–WRONG!!! MY VOTE BELONGS ONLY TO ME!!! Get ready to face his big loss in November.

This kind of stuff wont fly.They tried to shut her down for long time and she just kept winning even when they told her voters it was over, Obama lies, is doubletalking(transparency gov. than holds closed religous and fund raisers)has no ethics and his judgement is flawed to put it nicely. He says knuckleheaded in the Rezko deal. All the people surrounding him. No thanks. to anti american,law breakers,terrorists and raceist. Not what i see in my white house.

These petty, and childish grudges are what is destroying america. That and ignorant, lazy americans who buy into whatever is spoon fed them. If people actually did their research on the supposed, "majority vote", they would've seen that clinton was weighing the vote in her favor…….IT WAS AN EMPTY CLAIM!!! Yet, the public devours it is fact because its what they want to hear. You clinton backers who can't move on, are just like those who were up in arms after the 04 elections…..I hate President Bush, but, because we live in a country founded on the principles of a democratic republic, he took the vote due to the majority vote. I wasn't happy, but I moved on. I was hoping to end this war OF terror that is being fought in our name through the democratic party, but the beligerant children who can see the bigger picture have destroyed this……Thanks a lot guys.

Making plans and selecting who would be in his cabinet. He may be in for a shocker. I read on the internet that there is going to be a big demostration against Obama and the superdelegates in Denver at the convention. Obama is not officially the nominee as yet. The demostrators want Hillary to be president and they are suppose to go after the superdelegates. Nancy, Dean and Reid are all underhanded and made deals with the superdelegates to support Obama because Nancy wanted to be the only woman in power.

Barbara-California   June 13th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Let Hillary rest. It was a long campaign. She made an abundance of "mis-speaks" and her supporters/workers are among the dumbest yet. What a legacy she has to overcome now, with all the "stupids" saying they will vote for McCain rather then the Democratic candidate selected by choice of the people. I am sure she is taking a well deserved rest at a good spa….and she and her daughter are enjoying the last trickle of money from supporters to do so.

You know that she is plotting and planning while resting, so never fear—she will be back—the other shoe will drop! She only "suspended" her campaign you know, she didn't say she would completly quit–she only said she would cooperate with asking people to support Obama, she will be doing that now that she has demanded to be made Vice President in the campaign—mark these words, she plans to be in the Cabinet closest to the President so she can step in at a moments notice…..Watch—Wait—-and then weep!

Sam in Seattle   June 13th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Hillary signed to NOT let FL or MI votes count. She only whined after it turned out she needed those votes. Had places been reversed she would have fought against having them count. Get off your high horses people. Hillary is not a saint. McCain is a loose cannon ready to blow us into another war. Obama is our safest bet by a long shot.

Tracy, Chicago, IL   June 13th, 2008 6:42 pm ET

Obama ran as clean of a campaign as he could and now I really wish he had gotten dirty and thrown the kitchen sink at Clinton. He probably wish he had too, since being gracious to her didn’t do any good at the end. Clinton and her supporters were very nasty to Obama and his supporters since the beginning of this primary and when we returned the insults, they didn’t like it so much. I thought he was too nice to her and her supporters since they were to ones who started all this nastiness and most of the rumors/lies about him were started by her supporters. I am one of those “young voters” and I’m very disappointed with some of my elders. They have definitely taught me how to change the rules when convenient and how to be a sore loser when I don’t get my way. I always hear them complain about how terrible we are but what ever is wrong with the “youth” it is because they were terrible parents and we are a result of it. Obama will probably lose because of their spite and I and his 18 million supporters won’t forget it and we won’t let our children forget either.

Those supporters of PUMA think about this. IF you damage Obama's chances this November, how do you think that's going to help Clinton's next run for the senate, white house or any elections going forward? Are you really trying to help her? If so voting for McCain is not your answer. I for one will never vote for her again.

Dear Mr. Bower,

Thank you for sticking with us. I am a proud member of PUMA. Thanks for everything that you're doing. Obama is the worst thing that can ever happen to our country. Let's go and support John McCain. He's a great guy. He's holding tele-conference tomorrow. I'll be on it. The info is on his website; link to Citizens for McCain.

Stop this game   June 13th, 2008 6:41 pm ET

Even if Obama looses because some Hillary supporters would vote for McCain, then we will make sure 4 years later, that Hillary will never win.
Either we have a party or no party at all. Forcing your opinion this way will not frighten us. You have a single vote like all other democrats and threatening with voting McCain will not make us change the nominee.

From support of Clinton's principles to backing Mccain. Why is an idiot like this in a position of political power? I thought going from supporting hillary's policies to backing mccain was reserved for the few morons in the general public that are on a crusade to spite obama even though mccain will destroy the country. However, i have now learned that some that hold political office are just as stupid. How very sad for this man and the country.

jason   June 13th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

some things:

obama won the popular vote (yes, caucuces count - sorry).
obama won the most delegates.
obama won the most states

hillary suspended her campaign and backed obama. As predicted, of course, not all of her supporters followed her. They liked her when she was being negative towards Obama, but now that she is no longer being negative towards Obama, her "supporters" do not care about anything she says, and are more interested in continuing to hate Obama.

Bah Bah white sheep…

Mariann Pepitone   June 13th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

Mario: you are so right about Obama. He is underhanded and cunning. He knows how to wheel and deal and learned it from Rezko his crooked business man whom he was attorney for. Let go on record to say Dean, Nancy and Reid did not want Hillary to be president, especially Nancy because Nancy wants all the power. Plus I believe all three including Obama went behind the scenes to talk the superdelegates into voting for Obama for favors granted. John McCain is a good man, well experience like Hillary and knows more about politics that Obama hasn't learned yet. Obama only knows the crooked businessmen like Johnson. I am sorry to hear about Tim Russert but its very strange that first Kennedy had cancer, Byrd went into the hospital and now Russert collapsed and died. Russert was very extremely hard on Hillary in the debates and I believe he wanted Obama to win. Obama has a habit of stammering when he's ask questions and that is because he can't think quick enough to answer. That's the Harvard graduate that suppose to be brilliant. And he was not a law professor he was a lecturer only.

Carmen, Florida   June 13th, 2008 6:37 pm ET

We need a grown up for the presidency of America. Obama is just too green for me.

He has no experience in anything, except running his mouth off and I have to admit he does a good job of that. His speeches are fluff and cotton candy that are nice to hear but will never be enacted.

Watch this candidate, i don't believe his deeds will match his words.

You too can join the McCain Campaign.

Please join John S McCain during this campaign year and help elect him as our 44th President. He will bring security and experience to the table, while defending America, your values and your wallet.

You don't even get 15 minutes. Who cares how you vote? Losers always want to claim they are right. Michigan and Florida broke party rules and had to be called on it. Clinton wanted to change the rules from delagates to popular vote, knowing well that many states used a combination of the two.

You and any followers you may have will fit in very well with the GOP crybabies. Be warned, the GOP doesn't like gays.

JAZZ   June 13th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Many people can and will vote for John McCain because he is a KNOWN maverick. Obama is a self-described "blank screen". That cast of characters he surrounded himself with for the last twenty years
fill that screen with the prospect of unwanted change nationwide. Fair or not , the feeling is out there and is growing.
The incessant insults shouted by Obama fans will help McCain's crossover votes increase daily. As if the interpretive voting of the DNC wasn't enough. It's country before party, people.

Lisa CA   June 13th, 2008 6:29 pm ET

Hey Dustin, I think your $8/gal for gas scenario is going to come into play with Obama not McCain!!! It's the Republicans who blocked the bill in the Democratic Congress that would have raised gas prices by another $1.50 per gallon, and it was Obama who insinuated in a town hall yesterday that the rise in gas prices was good for us, but he just wished it would of happened more gradually.

All you youngsters out there drinking the Obama koolide better wake up and smell the starbucks your drinking, because if Obama becomes President were in for a bumpy ride (on our bicycles).

Good for Will Bower. He is thinking like me. There is no way I would vote for Obama to become president of this country or any candidate that was a racist from an early age disliking white people and attending a racial white hating anti-american church with a racist pastor for 20 years. What does that tell you. Mistake? That was no mistake. He would have left that church like Oprah did. Now he wants to leave it? And the people in this country need to wake up and smell the coffee. They are too busy listening to his RFK speeches and not screening him when he talks. Hope and change are the words of RFK and not the words of Obama. What changes can he make. He missed the senate 130 times voted present and he was not there when the issue came up on the war. But he lied to the public saying he was against it. Give me a break.

Indiana Bob   June 13th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Where do I sign up!! Go PUMA!! Will Bower sounds like he is in complete agreement with my wife and me. We must stop this cult leader (Obama) from taking over OUR country.

jermaine from SC   June 13th, 2008 6:28 pm ET

Some of you have some serious issues to deal with. If you want to vote for Mccain then shut up and do it! Get of that old news, shut up, and vote fo Mccain in November. My Goodness!!! This Bower guy sounds like he has some racial motivated agendas behind his issue with Obama, and so does these other so-called Clinton supporters. If you ask me, I think these so-called supporters are undercover republicans trying to stir up drama within the dem party. IF YOU'RE THAT MAD ABOUT HILLARY LOSING THEN VOTE FOR MCCAIN. Its your right. Stop moaning about it and put your $$ where your mouth is. DEMOCRATS UNITE AGAINST THE MADNESS. IGNORE THESE PEOPLE AND LETS GET OUR COUNTRY GOING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION AGAIN.
peace

Come on people. This Bower and PUMA stuff is just a Republican propaganda ploy. They want the msm to spread the myth that even millions of Dems don't trust and will not vote for Obama. This has nothing to do with HRC. To all HRC supporters - how does supporting McCain help her. With a republican POTUS, HRC will be just another Senator for the next 4 to 8 years. With Obama as POTUS, she could be a cabinet member, VP, or Supreme court justice. She can have a must stronger influence that just a Jr. Senator from NY. So fellow Dems, DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE!

Tim from Eugene OR.   June 13th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Wow, is all that comes to mind after reading these comments. I can actually understand people that are Hillary supporters that are so anguished over her not winning that they just don't vote at all. But to vote for someone who doesn't share a bit of Hillarys views to the further destruction of our country? Must be Rush's ditoheads writing in here, or are you just biggots, or are you just STUDID?

If I were like some of the folks writing in here, I guess I would say that if you succeed in getting McCain elected that I will call and encourage my senators, and congressman to vote and support every single issue as well as Supreme court nomoinie that will go against womans rights.

What a bunch of low rent people who love Hillary so much that they are gonna vote for someone who goes against everything she stands for. If it is just so we can all suffer for four more years while we wait for her to run again, then see what happens when you need the help of the other 18 million voters who supported Obama.

She may still end up on the ticket, but I am sure to gain her help and support Obama will give her any cabinet possition she desires. No it must be right wing idiots that are writing in here, thats all that makes sense. If you are not rich and you vote for McCain then you are just as studid as the 20 something percent of the people that still think Bush is doing a fine job.

Theresa in Minneapolis   June 13th, 2008 6:27 pm ET

Minnesota is not for PUMA - Julie, my dear, Obama won Minnesota at 67%

FEDUP   June 13th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I would prefer he encourage all Clinton supporters to write her name on their ballots in November. I cannot vote for McCain, and will not vote for Obama. Just because I'm a democrat does not mean I will forsake my country, to a know nothing politician. Obama is not what he appears to be. Yet he appears to be all things to some people.

JC   June 13th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Who cares what this idiot has to say!

Experience…. Obama will have plenty when he becomes president.

Go ahead and vote for McCain, which will go against everything a true dem stands for and push all of what has come about healthcare out of the picture.

Seriously, another Bush term just because they don't want a black man. You KNOW that's what it is.

Barack won by all accounts. It was not stolen. Idiots.

I M DUN   June 13th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

Get of it. It is not about Obama, but about our country, women's rights, the economy, universal health care and vision. Ask yourself "will McCain provide any of this?'

Ian   June 13th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

She didn't move out of the White House in Jan 93, she moved INTO it in Jan 93.

Frustrated with the Dem. Party   June 13th, 2008 6:26 pm ET

I have had it with the Democratic Party and Obama supporters! The man has 2 years experience in the Senate and now you want him to be President of THIS country? Would you be cheering on some smooth talking, new hire at your job to take the CEO position of your company over you or another hard working, experienced employee - I do not think so. And THAT is what has all the Hillary supporters so angry about this nomination and the attacks on Hillary, especially from the DNC. Think about think, the DNC voted to dismiss FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN, just so Hillary would not get the nomination - it was just not worth disenfranchising the Democrats.

I will vote for McCain for president and vote democratic down ticket so the Democrats can keep congress - this will keep things balanced for 4 more years. I encourage all Hillary supporters to vote this way.

Hillary 2012!!!

TrueDem   June 13th, 2008 6:25 pm ET

This is just another SAD attempt by Republicans to get democrats to squabble and divide. He is a Repub posing as a Democrat…a wolf in sheep clothing!

You never intended to vote democrat and you realize that McSame has no chance at winning unless we implode. Guess what? You and your tactics are exposed! And while you are casting your vote..check on the economy and let me know if you and Repub-America can survive another 4 yrs of Bush.

It don't matter blacks had to fight for civil rights for over 400 years and one more year wont' hurt.

There were a few good whites folks, and others in this country that fought for blacks during the civil rights movement and we didn't have the majority then and won't have the majority now to stand for change.

Go ahead and set this country and women’s rights back another 200 years that’s right go ahead and make my day.

Senator Clinton's supporters who plan to vote for McCain give credibility to the idea that Senator Clinton was never a progressive and that she has more in common with Republican values than with Democratic values. Voting for McCain means support for a long-term stay in Iraq, tax cuts for the wealthy, no chance for universal health care, the possible repeal of women's reproductive rights, and the rest of the Republican agenda. It's an individual choice, but it's very strange to say a voter supports what Senator Clinton said she supported and vote for a person who will do the opposite. Perhaps they've known all along that Senator Clinton will not do what she says she would do? Nonetheless, it is a voter's right to vote how she or he wants to vote, however disconnected from reality that may be.

This is bigger than Obama. It is about the corruption and influence from big money groups like moveon.org. How the DNC has be dishonest, unfair and undemocratic. The biased and unfair coverage from the media. Obama wasn't elected-he was selected. Everyone has underestimated the determination of Clinton supporters. If it had been a fair nomination process it would have been easier to get behind Obama, bu
