Terry McAuliffe - slipperier than an eel in olive oil?
Politics is a dirty business...
Anita Kumar and Rosalind S. Helderman recently reported this in the Washington Post:
"Former presidential candidate Ralph Nader went public Thursday with an allegation that Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Terry McAuliffe offered his campaign money to stay off the ballot in key states during the 2004 elections -- a disclosure timed to raise questions about McAuliffe's fitness for public office.
'Terry McAuliffe is slipperier than an eel in olive oil,' Nader said in an interview.
He said McAuliffe, who was the Democratic National Committee chairman at the time, had offered Nader's campaign an unspecified amount of money, believed to be party funds, to spend in 31 states in exchange for an agreement to withdraw from 19 battleground states where he could potentially hurt Democrat John Kerry."
