It's stupid to be against McAuliffe just because he was for Clinton.
1- Strong fundraiser. That's important.
2- Proven business acumen.
3- Energetic personality.
4- Tested in the media.
WTF? Someone clearly hasn't been watching the YouTube compilations of him of his interviews.
Which compilations? I've seen many clips of his cable appearances on YouTube and he has always come off as energetic and charming. IMO he was Clinton's best surrogate.
Thank you for admitting that he was a fine DNC chairman, BushOklahoma, but his shilling for Clinton in the primary was only because he was on her payroll and he was ordered to put out the campaign's message. As it turned out, he correctly predicted every primary after March 1, including South Dakota which many here (including myself) missed. In Indiana he was a little bit hesitant and this was reflected in the closeness of the final outcome.
