Yet another sterling Democrat Party machine politician

Perhaps next tp Bill Clinton, Terry MacCauliffe is the face and soul of the Democrat Party.  He is at once, a polished political performer (hack?), a lying, contriving rogue, the essence of crony capitalism, all in all a prototypical democrat.  Oh, and he's very close to the Clintons.  Here's what one editorialist (Leffe) had to say about this disgusting politician.

The so-called conventional wisdom would seem to indicate that McAuliffe’s money, contacts, notoriety and speaking ability would make him unbeatable. But he has some big problems, and I don’t mean the Clintons.This is a bad time to have a reputation for making lots of money, primarily due to your personal connections. Ten years ago, McAuliffe turned a $100K stock buy into $18M thanks to his relationship with the CEO of Internet firm Global Crossing. Shortly thereafter the company went bankrupt, the stock price collapsed and 10,000 employees lost their jobs.
This was not the only questionable deal he was associated with. But it was part of a pattern in his business life of using insider connections that made him very wealthy.
Incidentally, in 2005 then DNC-chair McAuliffe gave $5M in DNC money to gubernatorial candidate Tim Kaine. Now Kaine is DNC chair and McAuliffe is running. Would look icky to see Kaine return the favor.
MacCauliffe is running for governor in Virginia and will probably win which simply proves our democracy is unable to find and run decent people for public office anymore.  He will undoubtedly employ the same techniques and strategy that got Obama elected which includes getting lo-fo voters to the polls in great numbers, and all the rest of the by now well known and disreputable schemes dems have been using since FDR showed them the way during the '30's.
