Mcauliffe- Good Riddance
If posts bitching about Mcaulifee have been made i apologize . I briefly scanned the posts for one.
I have heard that TMcauliffe's tenure as DNC chairman is coming to an end. This is long overdue. I don't know if he is resigning or if the position is being reassigned. Any info would be appreciated.
Anyhoo, this is two years too late. A lot of people, including myself, were calling for his ouster after the 2002 election.
MCauliffe epitomizes all the negative stereotypes about elitist, out of touch Democrats. I've always seen him as shady, slimey and no good for the party.

1. Agreed. It's overdue.
Terry should have been sacked after we got our butts kicked in 2002. That should have been the signal that we need new leadership, but the old guard just can't cut it.

2. You're not alone, bro
It's hard to run populist campaigns when you're party leader is a big business Wall Street elitist.

How can we expect to win on populist economic issues when our candidates chief economic advisor is the CEO of CitiGroup?

How can we talk about the needs of working people when our leadership have chauffers that drive them around?

Dammit, we need some new blood. We needed it in 1994. Too bad it took 10 years for it to happen.

3. Flame me for this, but this is what Ralph has been talking about
FOREVER! He has ALWAYS been for the working class. I'm just sorry you all think he's lost it or sold out, he never has, you've just read him wrong all this time.
