I will never get tired of Terry McAuliffe.

via TPM.

Continuing on a T-Mac theme, we’ll just let Josh Marshall take this one:

If I’m not mistaken Terrry McAuliffe just announced two new goalposts.

1. Hillary has gotten more votes and delegates since March 4th.

2. Hillary has gotten more votes in a nomination race than anyone in history. “Hillary Clinton has now received more votes than any candidate ever running for president in a primary.”

As I said in this morning’s episode of the TPMtv, I think that over the last week there’ve been tentative but hopeful signs of a deescalation of tensions between the two campaigns. But some of this stuff is just ridiculous. Point one sounds like it’s probably true. What relevance it has I have no idea. Point two though is really the kicker. Even if you change the rules and fully seat Michaigan and Florida and count them for the popular vote totals and don’t count any portion of the Michigan “uncommitted” (which were understood a the to be for Obama) vote for Obama, Hillary is still behind in the popular vote total. The only way she moves ahead in popular vote is if you do all that and don’t count four of the caucus states.

That’s right, Hillary’s “more votes than anyone else” total doesn’t count caucus-goers in Iowa, Maine, Nevada and Washington where vote totals were not reported. What’s that about counting every vote and disenfranchisement?

UDPATE: Jonathan Alter has more on the serious flaws in the Clinton argument over at Newsweek.

As we’ve seen over the past two years, primaries can be highly divisive. However, through it all, Terry McAuliffe has been a pleasure to watch - frustrating at times, but always entertaining. Whatever the Clinton’s are paying him (I suspect nothing), it’s definitely not enough! Nice work TPM!

Washington DC’s insider newspaper The Hill is reporting that Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe will chair Sen. Hillary Clinton’s 2008 bid for the Presidency.

T-Mack is an incredible fundraiser and good friends of the Clinton’s. He’s a powerhouse and a good grab for Hillary.

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Terry McAuliffe has told business associates and Democratic donors that he will chair Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s (D-N.Y.) presidential campaign next year, according to several Democratic sources.

Together, Clinton, the favorite to win the Democratic nomination, and McAuliffe, the top money man in Democratic politics, have a good chance of raising $100 million before the first official contest, the Iowa caucuses in January 2008.

But the question remains, does Terry want the job?

“Would I have a huge role on the campaign? Of course, that’s not real news. People know that I have has been around lining up people if she decides to run.”
