House Cleaning Time: Fire Terry McAuliffe
Can we all agree now that Terry Mac has been an unqualified disaster as DNC chair and should be removed with all possible haste?

5. I was saying this two years ago

8. We need ass-kickers, not boot-lickers.
We need sisters and brothers, not wet-nurses and mothers.

9. We need foremen, not door men
We need some people with progressive fire to lead this party. No more dull, corporate-friendly "war heroes," please.

10. Give me a break
Terry raised as much money as chimpy. He had a large field of candidates and stayed out of it until there was a winner. It is not Terry's fault.

11. Um, three elections, three Republican sweeps.
2000: Republicans win control of every branch of the Federal government.

2002: Republicans win back the Senate, regaining control of every branch of the Federal government.

2004: Republicans win control of every branch of the Federal government for a couple more years.

Raising money has done us what?

14. clarify: his job is not to be chief strategist
I think we're placing far too much blame on this guy. His job is to do three things in concert:
1) raise money
2) provide aid and assistance to candidates
3) cheer lead

With all three of these duties he has done a fantastic job.

His job is not (and never was) to divine grand electoral strategies a la Rove.

We probably need some new blood in there, I'll agree with that. But the guy has done his job very well, and tirelessly I might add.

25. NEVER
Sharpton took money from Republicans and made an EVIL anti-Dean website.

NEVER.
