Bill Clinton described that time period as "absolute living hell," McAuliffe said.
He uses the book to claim that Kerry, who lost his 2004 challenge to President Bush, had a bumbling and wavering campaign team that was tripped up by a smoother machine.
"I thought the decision of the Kerry campaign to back off any real criticism of Bush was one of the biggest acts of political malpractice in the history of American politics," McAuliffe wrote.

McAuliffe says Kerry's aides wanted to oust him as party head once the Massachusetts senator secured the nomination. He said he was never invited to a single meeting at Kerry headquarters.
McAuliffe has made clear he'll back Sen. Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, if she makes her almost-certain run for president in 2008.

He also complains that Kerry aides insisted that speeches given at the Democratic National Convention not mention Bush, even while Republicans ripped Kerry to shreds at their own nominating event.
But McAuliffe claims credit for secretly egging on the Rev. Al Sharpton to slam the president in a speech that ended up being a convention highlight.
Responding to McAuliffe's book, Kerry spokesman David Wade said: "It's time to look forward, not backwards."

With a straight face they allowed the bubba regime to get away with obstruction of justice! To say the least!
At the time, I actually suspected the clintons of having their own organized crime syndicate. I shudder to think of Hillary as president, but I can see it happening. I know a woman who likes her a lot. I don't know if anyone could beat her, especially after the clinton smear machine attacks our candidates.
There continue to be evil moles in the FBI who will give the bubba machine all the dirt they need to destroy the chances of any opponents.
