Terry McAuliffe, the Virginia governor who was former President Bill Clinton's top fundraiser and Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign chair, is being pushed for vice president, possibly creating an extended Clinton family dynasty in America's two top political offices.
A Clinton-McAuliffe pairing would be the most friendly ever and a long road from the usual ticket coalition like the 1980 Reagan-Bush ticket.
McAuliffe can serve only one-term as governor and will be a third-year lame duck when the Democratic nominee picks a veep next summer. And being a one-term governor isn't a hurdle to higher office. A former Virginia chief executive, Jim Gilmore, is running for the Republican presidential nomination.
McAuliffe's name has been rumored in the vice presidential mix for months and pushed by experts who believe that Hillary Clinton, or any Democratic nominee, must win Virginia to win the White House.

"Terry McAuliffe is perhaps the only politician in America less ethical than Hillary Clinton...." said Colin Reed, executive director of America Rising PAC, which is dogging Clinton's bid.Hell yeah, The Criminal Ticket, a sure winner for the 'rats!
McAuliffe got his ars handed to him in last week's election.
Great choice!

Look at the bright side. If the Koch Brothers pay them enough, they will support lowering taxes and spending etc.

Yeah, that’s a winning ticket for sure! A corrupt and bitter old crone and carpetbagger sycophant who just got his arse handed to him by Virginians in last week’s election.

Delusion is a good choice of words.
It's what God gives people up to after repeated disobedience.

Can’t see any reason for this, McAuliffe won’t carry VA, and brings nothing to the table to counter Clinton’s own failings/flaws....
To: PROCON

Oh wait...
OH NOEZZZZZZZ... NOT Clinton/McCauliffe!!
We’d sure lose then.
They can do ANYTHING - jes’ don’ run Clinton/McCaiuliffe1!!

There is no way she doesn’t pick a Castro brother. She needs youth and a Hispanic to seal the deal.

A Clinton/McAuliffe Ticket? AWESOME! You couldn’t get a more UN-attractive Ticket. He will not even carry his State of VA. He just had his butt handed to him in the recent elections; failing to gain control of either House in the State Legislature.

McAwful looks like a ferret. Hitlery looks like an unhealthy old drunk. They’re perfect for each other.
