Organization

The Resume

    (June 2008-May 2011)
    'PUMA' stands for 'People United Means Action'
    Less formally stands for 'Party Unity, My Ass'
    Founded by Darragh Murphy
    Claims to have 10,000 members
    Supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton opposed to the nomination of Barack Obama

Why they might be annoying:

    They are sore losers.
    They claim 'We refuse to support a nominee who was selected by the leadership rather than elected by the voters,' while simultaneously urging the superdelegates to give the nomination to Clinton.
    They complain about sexism against Hilary, while ignoring the Clinton campaign's race-baiting.
    Considering that Obama is a hell of a lot closer to Clinton's positions than John McCain, they are voting against their own interests out of pure spite.
    Darragh Murphy donated money to McCain's 2000 campaign.

Why they might not be annoying:

    Clinton said, 'I'm going to do everything I can to make sure that anyone who supported me understands what a grave error it would be not to vote for Senator Obama.'
    They got the concession of having Clinton's name put into nomination and a roll call vote held at the convention.
    A couple of the PUMAs are also cougars.
