HILLARY Clinton's campaign overnight predicted a rapid end to the Democratic White House race next month as the press read the last rites to her quest to be the first woman president. With more party elders drifting to Barack Obama's camp and the media declaring the nominating battle all but over, Senator Clinton aides battled back with appeals for voters to be heard and for new donors to come forward. Even as he vowed no surrender from the former first lady, Clinton campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe said party bosses known as "superdelegates" would coalesce behind a candidate once the final...

Former Democratic Party chairman Terry McAuliffe is reportedly predicting that 2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton will drop out of her 2006 Senate reelection race if a challenger like Jeanine Pirro forces her to spend campaign cash earmarked for her presidential race. "I had a conversation with Terry McAuliffe during the Republican convention," former top Clinton campaign advisor Dick Morris told Fox News Channel's "Hannity & Colmes" Wednesday night. "And I said, 'Do you think Hillary runs for re-election to the Senate if she has a tough race?'" According to Morris, McAuliffe replied: "No, why should she squander $30 million getting...

By JIM MYERS World Washington Bureau 11/6/2004 WASHINGTON -- Democrat Brad Carson's message could not overcome the Republican wave in Oklahoma to help him become the state's next U.S. senator, but some party leaders think that message still could help Democrats nationally. Jay Parmley, the chairman of the Oklahoma Democratic Party, said he has been contacted by party leaders in other states, suggesting Carson as a successor to Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe. Carson, they believe, could help the party talk to voters in the so-called red states like Oklahoma that voted overwhelmingly for President Bush. "McAuliffe has done...

Fox News' "Special Debate Coverage," 10/13/04 FOX NEWS’ SEAN HANNITY: “Why don't you condemn Dennis Kucinich when he says the President’s targeting civilians for assassination? We’re at war and your party has politicized the war, and your party has said false things about the President. Your party has called the President a liar every day. And I think as a leader you ought to say, if you want to change the tone of Washington it's going to start with me.”  DNC CHAIR TERRY MCAULIFFE: “No, no. Let's change George Bush and get this country moving in the right direction.”  HANNITY:...

Terry McAuliffe was kind enough to send me the list of on-line polls to Freep after the debate tonight in the email below. Make sure you hit them all! Dear Scott Mahrle, We need your help one last time. So far the debates have been two clear wins for John Kerry. And your actions after the debate have been absolutely crucial in keeping the Republican spin machine in check. Tonight is the final debate between John Kerry and George W. Bush, the one where the post-debate spin will solidify and last until Election Day. If you have not taken action...

[09/23 03:16 PM] Man, those guys at the RNC are a regular Bloodhound Gang or Mod Squad. Take a look at this little observation: 9 HOURS BEFORE THE CBS REPORT: "Democratic Party chairman Terry McAuliffe said, 'George W. Bush's cover story on his National Guard service is rapidly unraveling. ... George W. Bush needs to answer why he regularly misled the American people about his time in the Guard and who applied political pressure on his behalf to have his performance reviews 'sugarcoated.'" (Terence Hunt, "Questions Raised About Bush Guard Service," The Associated Press, 9/9/04) (I checked with the RNC...

Something to Yak About – Mr. McAuliffe, Have You No Shame?Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe has a well-earned reputation for slash and burn, scorched-earth politics, but has he sunk to unprecedented lows? McAuliffe has once again actively taken to attacking the president’s military service and his honorable discharge. All this forces us to ask one question of Terry McAuliffe: Sir, have you no shame? The answer seems apparent. Slime Time Live That’s not our title, that’s what Newsweek Magazine has titled the latest piece by Howard Fineman and Michael Isikoff. The piece leads with Kerry campaign bigwig Mary...

Talk about no chain of custody! Rather seems to have said zero about who gave them these documents and how they allegedly got their hands on them. There also seems to have been no examination of any originals. But even whatever copy CBS was given should have been examined as an "original" piece of evidence.Whose fingerprints were on it? Who has been handling it recently, if not 30 years ago? If these really are copies of originals, when were the copies made?If they were made two months ago, did someone have the originals then? Then where are the originals? If...

Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe today said neither his organization nor John Kerry´s campaign leaked to CBS documents questioning President Bush´s service record, which may have been forged. He suggested White House adviser Karl Rove could be behind the documents. "I can unequivocally say that no one involved here at the Democratic National Committee had anything at all to do with any of those documents. If I were an aspiring young journalist, I think I would ask Karl Rove that question," Mr. McAuliffe said. Asked later if he believed Mr. Rove or Republican operatives were involved, he said: "I...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 (UPI) -- Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe said more than a dozen times Friday that President Bush had lied to the American public. "It has become crystal clear that the president has lied to the American public about his military service," McAuliffe said. "What were they covering up?" he added. "This White House makes the Nixon White House look like it was open, honest and trustworthy." But even as he launched the DNC's third day of accusations that the president was untruthful about whether he fulfilled his duties in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam...

"I can unequivocally say that no one involved here at the Democratic National Committee had anything at all to do with any of those documents. If I were an aspiring young journalist, I think I would ask Karl Rove that question," Mr. McAuliffe said.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Christine Iverson202-863-8614 Washington, DC—RNC Communications Director Jim Dyke issued the following statement today in response to a news conference by DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe. “If former Secretary of State Madeline Albright is willing to mislead Americans by mischaracterizing a recent study saying ‘basically there are 18,000 more terrorists. And so it’s a little bit like every time we attack we create more of them,’ then it is a breeze for DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe to make false, misleading and inaccurate statements about a budget that does not yet exist.” Associated Press May 26, 2004“The IISS said...

McAullife tries to keep the Hispanic vote Friday, May 7th, 2004. By Leonardo Aldridge of Associated Press SAN JUAN – Democratic Party President Terry McAullife paid a fleeting visit to a sector in San Juan on Friday in an attempt to calm down critics who claim that presidential candidate John Kerry has not been receptive to the complaints of Hispanics and other minorities. During his trip to Cantera, McAullife said Kerry’s presidency would mean more benefits for Hispanics than those they have received under the George W. Bush Administration. "Kerry’s administration will make more for the Hispanic community, like giving...

Two top conservative commentators predicted on Sunday that Democratic National Committee chairman Terry McAuliffe's job was safe until the party's convention in July. In his Sunday column, columnist Robert Novak said Kerry has no intention of pulling the plug on McAuliffe "for the time being." But team Kerry wants McAuliffe to watch his words more closely. The Kerry camp is said to be tired of McAuliffe's verbal free lancing on strategy, especially his decision to keep talking about President Bush's National Guard record. The move ended up creating unwanted scrutiny of Kerry, with some Republicans now demanding to see medical...

WASHINGTON (AP) - The chairman of the Democratic National Committee said Thursday that Nevada's five electoral votes are key to a Democratic presidential win and the party hopes to take back the state this year. "We feel very competitive that we can win out there in Nevada, it's a very good state for us," DNC Chairman Terry McAuliffe told Nevada reporters in a conference call. "It obviously is a key, key state to the party. We need the Electoral College votes," he said. President Bush beat Al Gore in Nevada 49.5 percent to 45.9 percent in 2000, and Republicans edge...

Rush just played a clip of McAwful "splainin' " the booing at the Wellstone memorial. He said that it was "unfortunate", but that "we don't boo". Oh really, Terrence? How about booing the Boy Scouts at the 2000 Dem Convention?

Excerpts: The prospect of war with Iraq is dealing Democratic candidates a triple blow. It's pushing their best issues, such as health care and the economy, into the background, while also damaging two crucial campaign operations -- fundraising and voter turnout -- among key liberal constituencies disillusioned over the party's failure to challenge President Bush more forcefully on his bellicose posture toward Baghdad. With the House and Senate elections less than four weeks away, several Democratic officials cite a troubling drop in contributions from disaffected groups and they fear a sluggish Election Day turnout from minorities, women, suburban professionals and...
