Holding Out in Hillaryland-Will Bower

NEWSWEEK - By Suzanne Smalley, January 20, 2009

Will Bower, 36, walked around the Mall with millions of other Americans this morning. But unlike nearly everyone else in the crowd, Bower wasn’t cheering. He wore a Hillary Clinton tee shirt (adorned with a Hillary for President sticker) to show his support for the woman he feels the Democratic Party and a sexist media stole the election from. Bower recently left his job as an intellectual property researcher at Thomson Reuters in order to work full time for the pro-Clinton group he co-founded, PUMA (Party Unity My Ass) ‘08. Bower, who is now living off of savings to work full time on what he calls his “labor of love,” has focused his efforts on reforming the primary system, which he says is undemocratic. Newsweek's Suzanne Smalley spoke with Bower by phone today.NEWSWEEK: Is PUMA still active? Please continue reading here...
