Orange Revolution

Did anyone notice all the orange in the crowd at the Republican Convention? Some Democrats did.

Any one know what the Orange cloths were? A number of women were waving Orange polyester fabric around and unless they were from the "Sovereign State of Tennessee" I would like to buy a vowel...

Orange is the color of PUMA. Hillary wore it for her speech last week. The entire Alaskan delegation decided to wave Orange as a shout out to PUMAs.

And John McCain wore an orange tie.

And what is PUMA? Here is an explanation. The very short version: Hillary supporters. Disaffected Democrats.

Here is what Zeke thought when it was explained to him:

I had hoped that was what I saw...

Guys,
If that isn't laying out the welcome mat, I've never seen it!
How cool is that? PUMA's at the Republican Convention. Did you see all the Country First signs?

This could be the start of real cooperation. The sort of thing that turns nations around. Knowing there is a higher calling than party, and that it is called Country First.

My hope has truly been revived.

This election has all the makings of a landslide. For the Republicans. Not only are Republicans fired up for the McCain/Palin ticket. So are a lot of Democrats. The Republicans are in touch with the pulse of the voters this year.

Of course when I first learned Sara was the pick I was fired up. It only took the rest of the Nation five more days to catch on. Wooo Hooo.

I ♥ Sarah'cudda and Johnny Mac

I'd like to share your hope, and I certainly feel it should swing to landslide. But it's not showing up in the polls yet. I only trust Rasmussen, and not even them all the time.

Remember that independent voters are different. Some have a vague something they want to see or hear about a favorite issue or hobbyhorse. Some dislike both candidates and are looking for a reason to move. Some are just impulsive and irrational, and you roll your eyes and accept it when they go to your candidate - and curse the injustice of the world when they go the other way.

The best I can say at the moment is that very few of the criticisms of Palin are particularly rational. Of course, very few of the criticisms of anyone are rational, but I think even less so in this case.
