Definition: PUMA
It's not a cougar nor is it high-end soccer gear, but a political acronym you could have heard when Hillary Clinton halted the roll call and released her delegates into the wild. PUMA stands for "Party Unity My Ass," and, no, not the Democratic Donkey ass.

Who Is Your Favorite Woman in Power?
Even though there hasn't been a female US president, the country's women in power remind us that leadership isn't just a man's job. Hillary Clinton took on many roles this year: she was a senator from New York, the wannabe leader of the US, the reluctant leader of the PUMAs, and now know she will most likely be the leader of the US State Department. Current Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the first African-American woman to serve in the post, traveled around the world signing missile deals with Poland, trying to keep tensions down between India and Pakistan, and playing the piano for the Queen of England.
