McAuliffe Defeat Stings Clinton and Warner
By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers
Longtime Bill Clinton buddy Terry McAuliffe's bruising defeat in the Virginia gubernatorial primary wasn't just a sign that Bubba, who campaigned hard for his fundraiser, is losing his magic touch. Democrats say it was also a blow to Sen. Mark Warner, practically sainted as a fiscal savior in the Old Dominion, since McAuliffe used Warner's campaign and ad team.

McAuliffe defeat
Being as this site was the first I heard about McAuliffe's defeat I would not read too much into it. I am sure other forces were at play besides his personal traits. Could it be people are actually beginning to pay more attention to a person's policy and resume than their attributes? I certainly hope so.
style
Could it be that McAuliffe simply has a grating, arrogant personal style that most people find repulsive?

Not to mention the Democratic party and agenda. Seriously folks, McAuliffe ran on the sainted Obama platform, and got whacked, very hard. I would suggest that unless some of the partisanship and spending frenzy in Washington changes, the same will hold true for many Democrats in 2010.
