Terry McAuliffe
Terry McAuliffe (born February 9, 1957) is a liberal political consultant who served as chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001-2005. In 2008 he served as chairman of the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign.
As the 2008 Democratic primaries came to a close and it became clear that Hillary Clinton's campaign was over, McAuliffe appeared on the MSNBC show "Morning Joe" with a bottle of rum. After drinking several shots, he admitted that Hillary Clinton knew she had lost the 2008 primary race -- an action which may have violated the group Mothers Against Drunk Driving's media guidelines.

On January 3, 2009, McAuliffe uploaded a YouTube video in which he announced that he would be running for Governor of Virginia in the Democratic primaries[2]
