I decided to walk yesterday from the office that issues press credentials to the blogger center at the Big Tent, a stretch of perhaps 20 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 are the PUMAs?
