Terry McAuliffe to Brody File: 'We're Going to be the Nominee'
January 7, 2008
I just finished a one-on-one TV interview with Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman Terry McAuliffe. He boldly predicted she will win the nomination. Click on play above to watch video of the interview.
Asked about a story on The Drudge Report that she may pull out of the race if she loses New Hampshire, McAuliffe tells me:
"Preposterous! With $110 million? We raised a million dollars post Iowa that has come into the campaign headquarters… I talk to Hillary every day and I can tell you it isn't coming from me, it isn't coming form Hillary. I know it's not coming from Patti Solis Doyle, our campaign manager. So I don't know who it's coming from, but listen, you got a lot of bouncing balls going around people talking and trying to get different things in different campaigns. We're going to be the nominee of the Democratic Party.
What ends campaigns, David, is that they run out of resources. We've got ideas and we've got plenty of resources, so we feel very good and it's going to be long and we're going to have to grind it out, but at the end of the day Hillary is going to be the nominee."
On headlines and rumors of panic inside Clinton camp put out by anonymous campaign insiders:
"There is no panic. She doesn't panic. What you have sometimes that is bothersome is maybe some people who are not in the campaign but on the purview of the campaign to show they're in the campaign want to call all the press and tell them what's happening when they really don't know what's happening."
Once again, check back later tonight for the video. Parts of the interview will run in my story on The 700 Club Tuesday morning.
