The Republicans' 'Happy Hour for Hillary': Not happy, and not very well-attended, either

DENVER — Supporters of Barack Obama claim the media is hugely exaggerating the numbers of the hardline pro-Hillary Democrats who call themselves 'Pumas' -- originally meaning Party Unity, My Ass, though it's since been softened to People United Means Action. A good place to discover if the criticism was fair was the Paramount Cafe, in downtown Denver, where the Republicans cheekily held a Happy Hour for Hillary Supporters on Monday night. (It was mis-named, not just because it lasted more than an hour, but because there was precious little happiness on display.) I spoke to several Pumas, who all insisted their forces weren't being overhyped. But first I had to wait in line: every Hillary supporter present was already being interviewed by one or more reporters, who outnumbered the Clintonistas by a ratio of almost two to one.
