"P.U.M.A. does stand for "Party Unity, My Ass". It is a spontaneous movement of individuals who reject the traditional call to Democratic party unity."
"Some will stay home, some will vote for protest candidates, some will vote for McCain, some will be won over by Obama or motivated by McCain, some will vote reluctantly for Obama, some are up for grabs -- looking for Obama to earn their votes, or to demonstrate insight and outreach, or to exercise sufficient leadership to restrain his cyber-brownshirts."
PUMA (http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=25214715411&ref=ts - broken link) stands for "Party Unity, My Ass" -- a coalition of voters who believe the Democratic Party primary process is deeply flawed and that Democratic Party leaders have underestimated the seriousness of opposition to Obama. The group rallies around the conviction that Hillary Clinton was forced out of the race by party insiders and unfair news coverage, and members look to the day when a national watchdog of some sort would point out and combat sexist reporting in the media.
I think the animal-theme of the acronym also pays homage to the nicknames of a couple of sub-groups that make up some of that coalition... cougars and bears.

So it really stands for Pouty Unreasonable Masochistic Asps ???
I thought it was women who claimed they were going to vote for McCain when Obama didn't pick Hillary. I think a lot have changed their minds since seeing La Palin speak.
