Don't forget when McAuliffe was questioned about a year ago(in a very nice way of course) by (I think) Tim Russert re: why McAuliffe was almost completely wrong in his predictions about the 2002 elections, McAuliffe just shook it off with "Look, I'm not going to .......my job is to be the party cheerleader." If anyone can find that quote, please post it here. McAuliffe admitted he's a well-paid liar for the DNC already.

I found it myself!!! Sept 7, 2003, first time I got to watch Ed Gillespie go toe-to-toe with McAwful on "Meet the Press":

MR. RUSSERT: Terry McAuliffe predictions from 2002 on MEET THE PRESS: “I think we’re going to win the House back.” The Democrats last six seats. “We’re going to net seats in the Senate.” The Democrats lost two seats.

MR. McAULIFFE: Yeah.

MR. RUSSERT: And “We are going to win Florida [Governorship]...which is going to set up very nicely for 2004.”

MR. McAULIFFE: Yeah.

MR. RUSSERT: Jeb Bush is gone.

MR. McAULIFFE: Yeah.

MR. RUSSERT: One, two, three, all wrong.

MR. McAULIFFE: And I had to write $2,000 or $3,000 to The Boys and Girls Club of Washington. But, Tim, I am the national party chairman. I am not going to go on television, you know, three days before an election and say, “Oh, no, Tim. No, Mr. Russert, we’re not going to win these elections.” My job is the chief cheerleader of the party. We’re going to win everything. That’s my job. My other job is also to raise an awful lot of money. My main responsibility is to make sure the nominee of the Democratic Party is able to compete against what’s going to be three-quarters of a billion dollars against us. And we’re in the best shape our party has ever been in.
