I got this email from Will Bower this evening:

— LANNY DAVIS and then RICKI LIEBERMAN to be on “No We Won’t” P.U.M.A. Radio!!
Sunday, July 27th, 8pm ESTPUMAs! I can’t tell you how excited I am for EPISODE ELEVEN of “No We Won’t” P.U.M.A. Radio!
Beginning at 8pm EST, we’ll be hosting one of my (and our) heroes from this campaign season, LANNY DAVIS. While it’s true that he is currently giving Obama his support, no one was braver or more articulate in supporting Hillary on the campaign trail than was Lanny. I still consider him our friend. We look forward to giving him a warm welcome, and to asking him about ways in which we can support the process of having Hillary Clinton’s name placed into nomination at Convention.
But the show doesn’t stop there! At 9pm EST, we will be welcoming Hillraiser RICKI LIEBERMAN of “ToGetHer4Us” and “The Electability Watch” to discuss her ongoing efforts to make sure that the most electable candidate, Hillary Clinton, is the Democratic nominee.
As always, please be aware that — regardless of what blogtalkradio.com may tell you — the show will begin at 8pm EST Sunday night.
This is a Must-Listen-To episode, folks! We look forward to meeting up with you again at “No We Won’t P.U.M.A. Blog Talk Radio!”

Hmmm, what to make of this…? Lanny Davis was a strong Clinton supporter but he threw his support behind Obama. Now, I don’t know about you guys but when I say I will not be voting for Obama, I really mean it. Nothing he has done recently has convinced me to do otherwise. In fact, the more I think about it, the less I am convinced that voting for Obama would be in my best interests So, I sincerely hope this is not an attempt of a surrogate to try to change our minds. When I have my mind set on something, I usually have a good reason for it and I am fairly resistant to persuasion. It means I have considered all of the pros and cons carefully before I came to the decision.
Let’s put it this way. My mother has been trying for more than 40 years to convert me to one fundamentalist evangelical brand of Christianity or another. But as a child, I realized that I wanted no part of it. She’s managed to convert everyone else in my immediate family and has branched out to some of her sisters and brothers. I am the holdout and I’ll die before I change my mind.
That’s kind of the way I feel about voting for Obama. And I’m not being stubborn or immature. I have completely and rationally thought this thing through and have determined that there is nothing to be gained by electing him and some serious risk if he *is* elected. So, I don’t want to cut off an avenue of discussion with Lanny Davis that might be productive but, speaking for me only, I would hope he would respect my decision and my intelligence and not try to talk me into the unpalatable and unacceptable.
Just sayin’
