P.U.M.As, whatever it is we are doing, it is working! Check the findings in this AP poll:
Barack Obama’s support from backers of Hillary Rodham Clinton is stuck smack where it was in June, a poll showed Tuesday, a stunning lack of progress that is weakening him with members of the Democratic Party in the close presidential race.
An Associated Press-Yahoo! News poll shows that among adults who backed his rival during their bitter primary campaign, 58 percent now support Obama. That is the same percentage who said so in June, when Clinton ended her bid and urged her backers to line up behind the Democratic senator from Illinois.
and
Clinton backers’ reluctance to support Obama helps explain why he is having a tougher time solidifying partisan supporters than McCain. Overall, 74 percent of Democrats say they will vote for Obama, compared to 87 percent of Republicans behind the Arizona senator. About nine in 10 Clinton supporters are Democrats.
and for the coup de gras
The problem that supporters of Clinton, the New York senator, have with Obama seems to flow from their measure of him as a candidate, not from issues…
Yet they find Obama less likable, honest, experienced and inspiring than Democrats overall do, and have a better view of McCain.
So fellow P.U.M.As let’s keep on fighting the good fight. Remember, even if only 10% of us hold out against Obama, that equals 1.8 million voters, a number which is more than enough to deny Obama the nomination! Incidentally, the 42% who are still holding out, equal 7.2 million PUMA voters, more than the 4.5 million voters (minimum) we pegged ourselves at back in June. I don’t know about you, but when we started this movement we knew we could do it, and to see that we are still doing it is a great feeling.
If all goes as planned and Obama does not win the White House, would he ever be seen in a pair of PUMAs?
For a breakdown on the numbers, Hotair has a great analysis.

Yes we can!
