Interesting.

I got the surprise of my life when I got a phone call from McAuliffe back when he was the chair of the DNC. He called in response to a letter I had written them saying that I would not send another penny until the DNC and the Democratic Party stood for something on their own - even if it meant taking risks - rather than being content with being Republican Light.

HIs theme, of course, was that we must support the Party in bad times as well as good. I reminded him that I am not a registered Democrat but non-partisan and I would continue to stand by my own beliefs.
