Hillary Clinton supporters angry about Biden and still not warming to Obama
Some of them have taken to calling themselves PUMAs. The acronym stands for "Party Unity My A**". They don't like Democratic nominee Barack Obama and some of them are even planning to vote for John McCain, even appearing in his campaign ads, as previously discussed here.
A Washington Post poll indicates that only 42 percent of Clinton voters are "solidly behind" Obama. And the choice of Joe Biden as VP hasn't really improved the situation, especially among women. According to another poll, only a third of women thought Biden was the right choice for Obama's Vice President.
Feminists have pointed out that on the very first day after accepting the position, Biden made an arguably sexist remark about his own wife:
"Ladies and Gentleman, my wife Jill who you will meet soon and who is drop dead gorgeous. (Laughter) My wife Jill, who you will meet soon. She also has her doctorate degree which is a problem. (Laughter) But all kidding aside, my Jill, my Jill, my wife Jill and I are honored to join Barack and Michelle on this journey. Because that is what it is. It's a journey."
For further evidence that Clinton supporters at the highest levels are not happy, take a look at this picture of James Carville, Bill Clinton's campaign strategist, from the Democratic Convention.
What's that he's wearing on his feet? Could those be.. pumas?

He is. Look at his face. Now that's the face of a content man.

Stig,
Heheh...from his expression, it looks almost like he just took a great big dump, and is very pleased about it.
They should cast him as the villain in the next James Bond movie, I think.

Maybe he's doing that too. Look at his hand. Who was on stage at the time Nancy Pelosi? hahahaha

Looks like he just let one fly and is watching the landing.

Maybe he's doing that too. Though it looks to me like he's doing a five knuckle shuffle.
