Where are the PUMAs?

I decided to walk today from the office that issues press credentials to the blogger center at the Big Tent, a stretch of perhaps twenty or so blocks. This in part because the local news coverage here in Colorado is focusing heavily on supposed Democratic dissatisfaction, a result of the hard-fought primary.

Fueling that dissatisfaction is the campaign of Republican John McCain, which just released this ad; it's currently running here on cable and network television.


Now, you'd imagine that if the resentment of followers of New York Senator Hillary Clinton were quite as large a strategic target that an ad buy targeted towards them would suggest, there would be a large presence here.

The problem is, there's just not. On that aforementioned walk, over a large stretch of downtown Denver that lasted something over half an hour or so, there was not one, not a single example, of disgruntled Hillary Democrats publicly protesting. Anti-choice activists, yes. Anti-war activists, yes. Pro-pollution advocates, plenty.

PUMAs? None that I could find.

Where, or where...

Maybe they're in hiding, like the WMDs.

And that woman in the ad? What an opportunist! She just wishes she got to John Edwards before Rielle Hunter did.
