<h2><font color=#003399>CLINTON AND MCAULIFFE PRESIDED OVER DEM DEBACLE</font></h2>
Former President Bill Clinton yesterday defended the performance of his handpicked Democratic national chairman, Terry McAuliffe, as grumbling grew over the roles of both Clinton and McAuliffe in the Democrats' Election Day debacle.

It was another sign the rifts in the bloodied Democratic Party aren't just left-right, but also over whom to blame and how to come back after Republicans won control of the Senate and enlarged their House majority.

"He absolutely supports Terry remaining as chairman of the Democratic National Committee," said spokesman Jim Kennedy.

He also rejected the arguments of critics who say that in states like Florida and Arkansas, Clinton's campaign stumping did more to rev up anti-Clinton Republicans than to inspire the Democratic base - especially given the low turnout among African-Americans.

Clinton has stayed uncharacteristically quiet since the debacle, after taking an unusually high-profile role at the end of the campaign, where he cast himself as leader of the opposition and stumped against Bush and his brother, Florida Gov.

Jeb Bush - who won in a landslide.

A number of Democrats were critical of McAuliffe privately, but the fact that they were only willing to do so anonymously suggests that if there is a rebellion, it's not yet serious - though some insiders say that depends on whether big donors will speak out.

But instead of dumping McAuliffe, the Democratic rumor mill said some former Clinton White House aides like John Podesta might be recruited to bolster the DNC - strengthening rather than weakening Clinton's hold on the party apparatus.

Remind every Democrat that still praises Clinton of these facts...remind them that their "Big Dog" just took a crap all over their living room and their party. [img]graemlins/lazy.gif[/img]

Please, please, please leave Terry McAuliffe in as the head of the DNC. Please, please, please let ARAIPOTUS stump again for them mules on the campaign trail. Please, please, please let AlGore run in 2004.

Alright, I know I am asking too much for the Republicans to have another landslide again due to the mismanagement, lack of vision, lack of message, and lack of character displayed by the left, but I am not one to tell my opponents when to stop smacking their heads against a wall.

I only hope the mules are emboldened to think that they weren’t “left” enough and try even harder to run as misguided socialists in 2004.
