Party pooh-bahs who never spare a second thought (or usually even a first one) for women or minorities suddenly decide, "Hey, one of those people is just as good as another!" and we get astroturf PUMAs (alleged Democrats, disappointed that Hilary Clinton didn't win the nomination, who were going to vote for McCain-Palin).
