The Clinton Machine Fades Away, in Today's News 06.10.09

The Clinton Machine Fades Away. Just for the record, observers should note that Terry R. McAullife, former Clinton hack-supreme and former Democratic Party chairman, lost embarrassingly in the Virginia Democratic primary for governor yesterday.

WSJ: "State Sen. R. Creigh Deeds won Virginia's three-way...primary...with shocking ease, defeating a former Clinton White House insider..." "...McAuliffe...had around a quarter of the vote."

How far they fall.  McAwful once upon a time was riding as high as you can get. But with Bill Clinton essentially gagged by the Democrats and Hillary running around pretending to be Secretary of State, there is no more role for McAwful. So he had to go looking for different work, and failing miserably at his first try.

The big point here is that the Obama machine has now completely replaced the Clintons' in running the Democratic party and related institutions. The eclipse of the Clintons' control of the Democratic party is just about total.
