Blowing CEOs for corporate donations. He won with Bill Clinton like Carville did; everything else was a failure. To eschew the base of the party for corporate dollars is a 1990s strategy and doesn't work now. Who will sit through a political TV ad with a remote control in hand?
The Clinton's have wrecked the Democratic Party with their Machiavellian triangulation policy.
Obama has tapped into the new dynamic and the Clintons are playing by the old rules.
If the Democrats didn't lose Congress in 94, Bill wouldn't have been impeached. That the Republicans maintained a congressional majority until 06 is the reason the DLC has to be marginalized.
Obama has far more individual donors, and these donors all now have a stake in the game; thus, they represent boots on the ground, something McAuliffe can't produce.
Howard Dean has provided the leadership for we the people to take our government back, at least to some degree, while the Clinton campaign represents the status quo.
The real battle is between the corporate elites and the working class.
Terry McAuliffe is a dinosaur. With the economy on the brink of disaster, and living standards dropping for most Americans, catering to greedy corporations is a loser.
Which ever candidate talks about alternative energy as a national security issue will win.
