Pumas - evolution or disolution?
The downside of the PUMA's becoming a one trick pony (what appears to be a mixed metaphor isn't. PUMA is an acronym not a metaphor) is potential ongoing irrelevance - the precursor being "in fighting". That is to say the anger of the Obama machine's sexism last year has yet to evolve into anything much except the recurring joy of being able to say "told ya so" every 3 to 4 days...a treat I indulge and will continue to enjoy for the duration. Opposing Obama, while a easy, fun and usually correct - and a growth sector- is hardly enough.
PUMA blogs are perfectly placed to either:
A. Forcefully commit to banking reform - where both the libertarian Right and the progressive Left actually have quite a bit in common.
B. Respond forcefully to the Obama Pod/Move On ninny's attack on the Bayh "blue dog" Senators by coordinating a campaign of visible support for budget sanity.
Why haven't they? Have I missed it?
Either a 3rd way will come from "PUMA" types or it will come from the far Right. (maybe far Left, but very doubtful. The Left has been subsumed by Obama...) PUMAs could be in the lead. As I said above: I see two places PUMAs have an opening.
Someone must organize.
