Carville is a Judas. He is married to A High Level Right Wing Republican operative.

Judas Carville is sleeping with the enemy.

Do not give that Judas a dime.

I'm recommending this blog, not because I agree with it, but because I hope people will educate themselves about James Carville and his wife.
Oh, and Carville is the asshat who called NM Gov Bill Richardson a "judas".

Mary Joe Matalin (born August 19, 1953) is an American political strategist and consultant. She is known for her work with the Republican Party. She was an assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney until 2003. In April 2004, she published the book Letters to My Daughters. In March 2005, Matalin was chosen to run a new conservative publishing imprint at Simon & Schuster. She is married to Democratic political consultant James Carville.

Her first campaign was Illinois Lieutenant Governor Dave O'Neal's bid for the U.S. Senate in 1980, a race O'Neal lost to Alan Dixon. After O'Neal's loss, Matalin began her career with the Republican National Committee, where she would remain for nearly two decades as a key Republican strategist. Leaving briefly to attend Hofstra University School of Law, Matalin dropped out after just one year, and in 1984 returned to the RNC. She rose quickly, as an aide to Rich Bond and Chief of Staff to RNC co-Chairperson Betty Heitman in 1985. A year later Matalin gained national notoriety when she joined the George H. W. Bush for President Campaign, working as both Deputy Political Director and Midwest Regional Political Director in the primaries. After the election, Matalin was appointed Chief of Staff to then RNC Chairman Lee Atwater. In that capacity, she would in effect run the RNC for nearly a year, as Atwater -- his health declining due to an inoperable brain tumor -- spent 170 days in the hospital between his diagnosis in early March 1990 and eventual death on March 29, 1991[1]

Matalin was a host of CNN's Crossfire political debate show, and in 1993, she co-hosted Equal Time, which aired on the CNBC business television channel. Matalin was also the host of her own talk radio show in the 1990s, "The Mary Matalin Show," which was carried on the CBS Radio Network. [1]

Matalin, a colleague of Karl Rove, worked for Vice President Dick Cheney in the White House. She attended meetings of the White House Iraq Group, an internal White House task force convened in August 2002 (seven months before the 2003 Invasion of Iraq). WHIG was charged with the task of convincing the US public of the potential threat of Saddam Hussein's alleged violations of international law in his refusal to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors.

Matalin resigned her responsibilities as of December 31, 2002.[2] Although Matalin left the White House more than six months before the leak that triggered the Valerie Plame affair, she is reported to have testified before the grand jury of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald[citation needed]. (Notes and records of WHIG meetings were subpoenaed by Fitzgerald in January 2004.)

1) I don't care who he's married to. It's none of my business. That said, he's handled himself rather poorly this election cycle, IMO (including the "Judas" statement).

2) He's not in charge of the DSCC. Don't punish the DSCC for Carville's mistakes. This is a worthy cause.

3) Thanks Billy for bringing this up. I'm sorry there's been so much negativity.

Billy, you're going soft. You didn't write "echo chamber" once in this post. You also did not follow through on your campaign pledge to stop posting for a while.

James Carville is trying to usurp Democratic Senate candidates by appointing DINOs to run against true progressive candidates. Schumer and the DSCC have totally screwed our best Senate candidate in NC, Jim Neal. Schumer doesn't think an openly gay candidate can win against Liddy Dole (despite polling that shows the opposite, and despite Neal's strong grassroots support). So he drafted Kay Hagan to run against Neal for the Dem nomination - even though Hagan and Dole are only marginally different on the issues, and NC has repeatedly proven reluctant to elect "Republican-lite" Senators.

Then Carville had the "audicity" (to quote Johnny Mac) to show up at the NC Young Democrats' Convention and announce that NC had "a" very good candidate in Kay Hagan! Fortunately, Neal let Carville know that "We have primaries here in North Carolina. We don't have coronations."

(Oddly enough, I noticed the next week that Hillary Clinton was using her own version of a "coronation" line... . Wonder what made her think of that?)

Screw James Carville, Chuck Schumer, and the DSCC. If they don't respect Democrats or democracy, then they don't deserve my money. I'll donate to the candidates directly.

Act Blue - Blue Majority: The online clearing house for Democratic action. A central donation site sponsored by Daily Kos and others...progressives, liberal and moderates that all what change fro the usual Washington, D.C. bu$hification(s).

Good to highlight the question. Thanks, BG. Recommended.

Billy, I may have to give you some cred on the echo chamber thing. Look at the friggin' recommended list:

3 outraged posts on Screw-Em. 5 outraged posts on ABC. (3 of these posts, I might add, are by BionicSoy, who posted twice about ABC.)

Is Carville doing it for free, or is he raking in a huge share of the donations, ala Mark Penn. Can someone answer that question. I expect that Carville is charging huge consulting fees for the use of his name on the fund drive.

For the record. Carville did not put Bill Clinton in the White House. Ross Perot did. Without Perot splitting the moderates and right of center voters with Bush, Clinton would never have been elected.

Enough with the Clinton era fables and Fairy Tales. Clinton lucked out, because he had two opponents splitting the opposition.

The 1994 destruction of the Democratic majority revealed that Bill Clinton and James Carville just got lucky in the form of Ross Perot.

Liam,
Bullshit. The majority of exit polls show the Perot vote siphoned from both parties' candidates almost equally. Bush lost because:
1. He didn't have the Cold War to run on which depressed conservative turnout.
2. The economy was in a slight recession.
3. The opposition painted him as out of touch.
4. Clinton was able to appeal to both the liberal (because of his Arkansas gov. record) and the moderate (through numerous triangulation stuff, i.e. flying back to Ark. to execute a prisoner) factions of his party.
5. Perot temporarily dropped out of the race, thereby squandering his overall lead.
6. Bush's "no new taxes."

It's inaccurate to say Clinton got lucky. It's really inaccurate to say Clinton won because of Perot. It's like saying Gore lost because of Nader. He didn't.

cecil,
Respectfully, I disagree. Not all exit polls disprove my point.

This is an interesting piece. Some highlights:
1.62% of Nader votes were from Reps., indies, 3rd partiers and non-voters. In other words, not anymore likely to vote for gore than for bush.
2.Exit polls show that Bush would have won Fla. by more w/o Nader in the race.
3. gore lost Tenn, Arkansas and W. Va. Can't blame Nader for any of those inexcusable results.
4. 9 million dems voted for bush
5. 90,000 af. americans were illegally stricked from Fla voter rolls
6. 5-4 Supreme Ct. ruling stopped the recount that would have favored a Gore win.
7 all 8 3rd party candidates got more than the 543 votes cited as deciding factor in Fla.
8. Pat Buchanan got 3,500 votes in Palm Beach county, 95% of which he admits were because of faulty butterfly ballots.

Etc, Etc, Etc.

gore lost to bush because of many things -- Clinton, Bush dirty tricks, Supreme Court, and, most importantly, Gore. He ran an AWFUL campaign.
