Terry McAuliffe – The Carpetbagger’s Lament

Clinton-era DNC chair Terry McAuliffe just can’t seem to put down roots.  First he thought about running for Governor of Florida.  Then it was his actual home state of New York.  Those didn’t seem to work out, so McAuliffe thought that Virginia Democrats would be foolish enough to hand him their gubernatorial nomination.  Wisely, Virginia Democrats didn’t fall for the McAuliffe approach to politics either.

Now McAuliffe appears to be moving north; to Harvard.  Given Terry McAuliffe’s ego, Harvard should be a wonderful home.
