Politics Terry McAuliffe
Posted by Paul Constant on Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 7:36 PM
The carpetbagging douchebag is officially out of the running for Virginia's Democratic gubernatorial nominee. He lost the primary to some guy named R. Creigh Deeds, by a huge margin. I've hated McAuliffe since he singlehandedly re-demolished Hillary Clinton's already-demolished campaign back in aught-eight. Hopefully McAuliffe will now get his slimy ass into advertising and away from politics.

I'd like to see more insider pundits run for office. This would quickly weed out the people who know what their talking about from those that do not. Sad to think of all the air time wasted on McAuliffe when others could have actually shared some worthwhile insight.
Chris Matthews for example needed to step up to the plate awhile ago.

My, my nice to see the purr hatred and vitriol. So very Slogish.
that guy who won, Deeds, he's a darling of the NRA, he's against "partial birth abortions" and he's like from Appalachia dude. Last time he won statewide, he lost.
Sure hope he does better this time. He raised about $3 million and his GOP opponent, about $9 million.
Don't know if he's pro gay or not.
Why don't you post his link so everyone can make a donation and rub it into the face of that vile, vile Terry McAuliffe who had the temerity to back someoen other than Obama.
Unity!!!!!!!!!
And btw Chris Maththews after living the DC insider life for decades and pulling down about $5 million a year ain't gonna go move back to Pennsylvania. No, instead of that guy we are going to have Sestak running against the wonderful dude the nonpolitician Obama picked, Arlen Specter. It's nice to see how totally high minded Obama was in that pick, you know, dissing all the grass roots in Pennsylvania, he sure has brought a new changed politics to DC, unlike those vile damn Clintons who actually broke promises and stuff.
Obamagod would never do that, riiiiiiigggghhhhhtttt? You know, make a promise to a group and then just totally fucking ignore them and make jokes about them?

WTF! Are you knocking McAuliffe because he helped Clinton? 'specially now that Obama has quickly turned into garbage and backed off supporting his campaign promises.
Why do you hate the gays Paul?

Washington Post:
R. Creigh Deeds, a longtime state legislator from rural Bath County, won a STUNNING come-from-behind victory in the Democratic primary for Virginia governor last night, overwhelming a pair of better-funded and better-positioned opponents.
Deeds beat Brian Moran and Terry McAuliffe in every region of the state, including vote-rich Northern Virginia, despite a pro-gun stance and relatively CONSERVATIVE positions.
The tide is swinging Right

Yeah, who knew VA was conservative? Except for 09 it went R in every national election since LBJ. How tidey.

I'm clearly not giddy about any of the candidates - it was a hard race to get excited about. That being said, the last several governors have been *relatively* progressive (VA-wise, anyway), a trend that we need to maintain to get Virginia from "creepy-overalls" conservative to "politically correct, still homophobic" conservative. The key in this race was the ability to beat McDonald.
Out here in Northern Virginia there was a sense of desperation when it came to the candidates - that none of them were particularly impressive, but that one of them had to win by an overwhelming margin. Luckily, Deeds did pretty well - here's hoping he can transform that into better public support and keep us from swinging back to the dark side.

You are all idiots complaining about him not being progressive enough. It's VIRGINIA! A statewide politician needs to be more conservative than all you whiney liberals on this board.
No candidate for governor that can actually win is going to support gay marriage or gun control.
You are becoming just as bad as the right wing crazies that demand orthodoxy at the expense of actually winning some fucking elections.
Start looking at things in the context of reality.
Fucking out of touch seattle pretentious douches.

Paul, I love ya, but no-one wrecked Hillary's campaign but Hillary. Failure starts at the top.
However, as someone who really couldn't stand her at the time (and not as a result of my raging misogyny, thank you very much), I will say I think she's doing a pretty admirable job at State. It's nice to know it's not all about her...
