Billary '08?

Terry McAuliffe, the outspoken and often controversial former chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has joined forces with the re-election campaign of Senator Hillary Clinton. While Clinton and her staff insist she is focused solely on winning reelection in New York this November, the decision over who will be in charge of getting her elected to the White House is already settled.

As Clinton pretends to move to the political center, the selection of McAuliffe as the campaign's chairman is obviously designed to assuage the party's far left base.
