I don't know specifically what Douglas Brinkley observed to make his comment in April 2004, but I do know that Terry McAuliffe never used his stewardship of the Dem party to build a strong infrastructure for the 2002 and 2004 election cycles - he only concentrated on DC-centric projects that he poured money into - OUR money in DC projects instead of state by state party building.
