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.

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.
