Clinton to Virginia: Don't Let 'Fear Factor' Determine Deeds-McDonnell Victor
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyMcLEAN, Va. -- Ah, what might have been. Terry McAuliffe and Bill Clinton brought their buddy act to a pep rally Tuesday and gave Virginia Democrats a taste of what they passed up by nominating Creigh Deeds for governor, instead of McAuliffe. Never mind that Deeds trails Republican Bob McDonnell by 7 to 8 percentage points in most polls. "November 3 is going to be the greatest comeback in the history of American politics!" McAuliffe exclaimed, adding another instant classic to his hit parade of sweeping pronouncements. Then the former national party chairman moved on to chicken waste as energy ...
Virginia Voters Reject Clinton Ally; Creigh Deeds is Democratic Gov Nominee
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyVirginia Democrats are sticking to a tried-and-true formula for winning. In their three-way gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, they said no to a national figure with close Clinton ties and a liberal with a brother in Congress.Instead, they overwhelmingly picked state Sen. Creigh Deeds -- a moderate whose manner is the opposite of flamboyant. If that sounds like Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine and his predecessor, Democrat Mark Warner, well, why mess with a good thing?Deeds sailed past Terry McAuliffe, the former Democratic National Committee chairman with Clinton connections and a personality often ...
For Virginia Democrats, the Pressure's On
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyDemocrats have won almost every big Virginia election since 2001 – installing two governors and two senators, and breaking a 40-year presidential losing streak by going for Barack Obama last year. The pressure is on to choose another winner Tuesday in a three-way gubernatorial primary, or risk setting back their party and their president. ...
Ralph Nader Accuses Terry McAuliffe of Attempted Bribery
By David Knowles - Politics DailyYesterday, perennial presidential candidate Ralph Nader made a rather explosive claim about Terry McAuliffe, the former head of the DNC who is now running for Governor in Virginia. His charge? That in 2004-- just four years after Nader had played the spoiler role in the contest between Al Gore and George W. Bush by drawing tens of thousands of Florida votes away from the Democratic candidate--McAuliffe approached Nader with a proposition as to how to avoid a repeat:He said McAuliffe, who was the Democratic National Committee chairman at the time, had offered Nader's campaign an unspecified ...
'Washington Post' Endorses Against 'Huckster' Terry McAuliffe
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyToday the Washington Post endorsed the lesser-known Creigh Deeds over longtime Democratic fundraiser, alligator wrestler, and FOHB, (friend of Hillary and Bill Clinton) Terry McAuliffe in the David-and-Goliath Democratic primary for Virginia governor. The paper's nod is a prized endorsement for state-wide Democrats, who rely heavily on the population-rich Northern Virginia region that the Post covers. ...
Clinton Loyalist Still Fighting, This Time For Himself
By Jill Lawrence - Politics DailyCompared to raising money by wrestling an alligator or singing onstage at an Indian casino, both of which he's done, Terry McAuliffe is waging a relatively tame campaign for Virginia governor. ...
Terry McAuliffe, Partisan Windbag, Running for Governor of Virginia
By David Knowles - Politics DailyThe other day I got an e-mail from Terry McAuliffe giving me (and all the other people on a voluminous contact list) the inside scoop: Terry had decided to become the Governor of Virginia! Fresh off his abrasive stint as a spokesman and adviser for Hillary Clinton's failed bid to become the Democratic nominee, it seemed that McAuliffe just couldn't stomach the prospect of a campaign-free existence. So, after the potential donor base had been notified first, a YouTube clip went forth to the population at large, heralding the news:It's funny to listen to Terry talk non-partisan solutions, ...
Terry McAuliffe May Be Crazy, But He's Loaded
By Dylan and Ethan Ris - Politics DailyTerry McAuliffe wants to be governor of Virginia. And why not? He's got charisma, he's got Clintons pouring out of every orifice, and he's got nearly as much governing experience as Caroline Kennedy.He's also batshit crazy, as evidenced by his penchant for screaming at Chris Matthews, chugging rum with Joe Scarborough, and riding mechanical bulls while his staff stares in slackjawed disbelief.But don't think that's going to stop McAuliffe in his quest to run the Old Dominion. As the Washington Post points out, Terry's coming to the fight with buckets and buckets of cash...After spending much ...

Terry McAuliffe is Baghdad Bob
By David Knowles - Politics DailyWatch Clinton spokesman Terry McAuliffe as he continues to drift away in spin-space with his impersonation of Baghdad Bob. This "Daily Show" appearance came the same night he introduced Hillary as "The next president of the United States."Keep on healing us, Terry (Get ready with the straight-jacket, boys)! ...
