ANOTHER BLOW TO DEMOCRATS: MCAULIFFE LOSING HIS GRIP ON PARTY
The Washington Times ^ | 9/19/02 | John McCaslin
Spontaneous pledge
In order to register and activate student voters for the fall election, the Democratic National Committee hosted 200 rallies across the country on Tuesday featuring top Democratic leaders. Apparently, things didn't go as planned.
Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe was the star attraction at one such rally at the University of Maryland. There he discovered College Democrats outflanked by youthful College Republicans 67-21.
To make matters worse for the Clinton-picked DNC honcho, he entered the rally's outdoor amphitheater to chants of "Come clean, Terry."
Mr. McAuliffe began his remarks by thanking the College Republicans for coming. Then the assembled students broke into the Pledge of Allegiance, and the DNC had no choice but to stop his remarks and join them.
At the end of the event, the College Republicans boasted 23 newly registered voters and 71 new College Republicans. No word from College Democrats on their success.
