DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe was pretty much MIA last night as it became clear Bush had scored a huge victory, but earlier in the night he talked to a Washington Post reporter with typical McAuliffe bravado,
“This is the best election night in history,” says Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic National Committee chairman and designated carnival barker.
A lot of Democrats wanted to show McAuliffe the door after the 2002 election. They’ll have no problem cutting him loose now and pin much of the blame for the post-Clinton debacles on him.
