In short, she has no clue. Like none at all.
What I've always known and is becoming increasingly clear to the media (finally) is that Debra and the other "PUMAs" are getting too much air time for basically being sore losers and seeking attention. I find it annoying that anyone is even polling "Hillacrats" as a separate stat from the rest of the party. They're getting way more play than they deserve, and as long as they keep getting attention like this, they're never going to spend any time listening to the voice of reason, or Hillary for that matter.
The RNC hosted a press conference with our friend Debra last night. Debra presents herself as a very classical woman Democrat, particularly in her pro-choice position. When asked by a reporter how she reconciles McCain's pledge to reverse Roe v. Wade, she claimed that as far as she knew he was not in favor of repealing the landmark abortion rights decision.
In fact, here's what McCain's web site states very clearly:
"Overturning Roe v. Wade
John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench."

Seriously Debra? You couldn't even be bothered to take a peak on his Web site before you put yourself on national TV to endorse a guy who would overturn a very fundamental plank of the Democratic platform? This is always about the fight for judges, and you better believe there a couple of spots opening up soon.
What is it with people? I mean really. I hear ALL THE TIME, I don't know what Barack Obama stands for. Here's an idea, why don't you go to his Web site and find out? It's all there, and in a lot more detail than McCain's web site, I might add.
Of course you don't know what he stands for because you can't be bothered to find out. No one is going to spoon feed you information, and definitely not the media who continually perpetuate this notion that Obama is form over substance. Can't you get off your lazy ass and read a few pages of a Web site? I'm not asking you to read Obama's book, even though it's quite a good read and really sold me on his clear thinking and good judgement. Just read a few, freakin' Web pages.
Here are a few links to Obama's positions on Foreign Policy, the Economy, the Environment/Clean Energy, and Women's Issues to get you started.
