THIS IS WHY HILLARY LOST!! TO MUCH DRINKING IN HERE CAMPAIGN SAD!!!


Clinton campaign Chair Terry McAuliffe boldly combined flacking for Senator Clinton with an audition for A&E's Intervention in one completely loopy Morning Joe appearance. Clad in the most hideous shirt ever made, bearing a large bottle of rum, and braying at host Mika Brzezinski that they were going to drink on on the set of the show Wednesday morning. Brzezinski responded to the overture with a noise that sounded like: "Weeehhhh-heeeheeeeheeeoookay," later adding, "...wow." But McAuliffe, despite being overtired, seemingly sauced, and on the run from Obama-supporting Puerto Rico based chupacabras, nevertheless effortlessly recited the campaign talking points, predicted a victory in South Dakota, and offered the somewhat presumptuous statement, "I don't think Hillary will declare victory tomorrow night." Then, it was off for some more pina coladas!

Clinton Campaign Chair: Obama Has A Latino "Problem"


Ken Vogel reports that the Clinton campaign is using the results to openly argue that Barack Obama has a problem with Hispanic voters -- an idea Clinton backers have previously mentioned only behind the scenes.

"It was a 100 percent Hispanic primary and it shows that he has a problem with the Latino community," Terry McAuliffe, campaign chairman for Hillary Clinton, told a handful of reporters after polls closed Sunday. "He cannot close in this key core constituency," McAuliffe added.

Voters in Puerto Rico are in some ways different from Hispanics living stateside, both because there's a long tradition of racial mixing and because elections here tend to center around the debate over whether the island should remain a commonwealth or become a state or an independent nation. They also don't vote in November.

T4R note:
I'm not too worried about what Terry Mcauliffe has to say, after the DNC Florida, Michigan debacle Terry McAuliffe has a credibility "problem". Someday maybe he will step forward and tell us why he voted to strip Florida and Michigan of their delegates and then turned around and said how unfair it was they were not going to be seated.Terry McAuliffe should be expelled from the Democratic party.
