It was a great tactic. Rouse the troops and get the opposition so incensed at what you're saying and how you're saying it that it gets them distracted from the real "defendant" (Clinton). But Carville did indeed have that practical side that we didn't see much of on TV. Obama's people have only the obnoxiousness and will-to-power without the practical knowledge of how to play nicely with the other kids. It's going to be Obama's downfall.<br /><br />And I suppose I should add that after studying him for twenty years, I can tell when Carville's acting. He wasn't acting when he launched at Obama and the damage that's being done to Louisiana.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-80950068909966938332010-07-28T12:35:41.938-04:002010-07-28T12:35:41.938-04:00Lawhawk--Carville was Clinton's bulldog, but h...Lawhawk--Carville was Clinton's bulldog, but he was also part of the triangulation crowd that caused Clinton to move to the center after his disastrous attempt at Hillarycare. It wasn't a principled position, but at least he helped Clinton to see he couldn't govern without the help of Republicans and moderate conservatives. Obama has his attack dogs, but nobody like Carville to tell him he's committing political suicide.HamiltonsGhosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07777000856977635480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-5579117216015370472010-07-27T21:48:14.764-04:002010-07-27T21:48:14.764-04:00Stan: My favorite Southernism from a famous Democ...Stan: My favorite Southernism from a famous Democrat was Carter's "Lordy, Lordy, Jim Jack Gordy."

Every time I heard Perot talk, I gave up the slight idea that I might vote for him. He reminded me of the old joke: "Country music speaks to the heart, but unfortunately it has to go through the ears first." Still, his "giant sucking sound" about money and jobs leaving the US are as true today as they were then. Can I vote for him retroactively?LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-22967191756707457352010-07-27T20:26:12.627-04:002010-07-27T20:26:12.627-04:00Carville belongs in a straitjacket!

I also wrote a short tract on the necessity of a third party (Perot). I also never made that mistake again. Short of a huge and palpable change in the American people, we have to work within the parties we have or risk another arrogant plurality President like Clinton. On the other hand, Bush I also reinforced the idea in me that we can't continue to nominate Republicans who are just poor versions of Democrats. We can't continue to nominate candidates because "it's their turn." And we can't continue to nominate candidates who couldn't run a campaign for dog catcher.LawHawkRFDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800255923675295515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-29780322710786769622010-07-27T17:05:46.239-04:002010-07-27T17:05:46.239-04:00Oh yeah Bev! …my wife and I went all out for Perot...Oh yeah Bev! …my wife and I went all out for Perot, too our eternal shame.

Carville swooped in and started building a little empire in New Orleans, figuring he'd cash in on the money being tossed around in unmonitored "renewal" funds. This is hurting the state he lives and thrives in, but more importantly, it's hurting him personally. So NOW he wakes up.
