I propose James Carville for new head of the Democratic Party

[Eric J in MN]

He's a Southerner, he has good instincts, he helped Bill Clinton get elected.

Anyone agree with me that James Carville should be the new DNC chair?

[still_one]

1. I don't trust him because of his wife

[emulatorloo]

2. Would need to dump or convert Matalin first

Sorry, no Cheney spies in bed with head of the DNC>

[DuaneBidoux]

3. No WAY - he LITERALLY sleeps with the enemy.

[hollywood926]

4. He wasn't any help to Kerry...

where was his big mouth when we needed it?

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

5. Why not Karl Rove or Zell Miller.

They're both southerners, both political operatives, both attuned to getting the "moderate" vote - just like Carville.

He's a DLC shill, for sale to the highest bidder.

As for "getting Bill Clinton elected", it was that other southerner that did it. Ross Perot.

6. He Called Jon Stewart a "Pompus Ass" - Sleeps w/ Enemy

I don't think so!

[Soup Bean]

14. I agree. Calling Stewart POMPOUS was the end.

He's one of the ultimate hacks.

[DinahMoeHum]

7. He better divorce Mary Matalin before I'll support him.

8. I don't trust him because he allowed Kerry to be steamrolled by the

repubs. The rhetoric from the Kerry camp should have been sharper and more direct. Instead of words like misled, lie would have been better. Instead of speaking softly and gentlemanly, we should have been kicking and screaming and outing the bush* administration for the illegal and immoral crap they'd pulled from 2000 on. Instead of

When Kerry's Viet Nam record became a major issue AWOL's records should have been truly exposed. NOPE, all these guys have got to go. We need a fighter, not an appeaser.

We now have two major fronts involved in the war for this country. Election fraud, which should have been a major issue during this election, and the lies of the bush* cabal.

It was a matter of intelligence and decency vs. who-I-could-sit-down-and-have-a-beer-with and some kind of crazed fake evangelical Christianity. The beer drinkers and the idiots who have no understanding of religion were taken in. The intelligentsia in this country knew better. We need to start educating this dumb asses right away. Let them in on the secret that the bush* administration DOES NOT have their best interests at heart. That they're just a bunch of fools that they can siphon money from and use their kids for cannon fodder. And debunk this 'global mandate' shit NOW. bush* twisted that issue inside out, upside down, and backward. And he got away with it because his handlers have no qualms about being lying sacks of shit. In fact, that's a badge of honor with them. We need to get nasty ourselves, but we have a better weapon. The truth.

9. NEVER....I am vary wary of him, he plays both sides...and his

wife....I find it very funny they could co-exist in these political times. I say Dean, if he wants it...

[Clarkie1]

10. I propose Wes Clark

For President, that is.

11. He is not committed......... If he were, he'd be in divorce court

Or, more probably, knowing him.. ON Divorce Court. Now that's an episode I'd watch.

[Individualist]

12. No!

I've been disgusted with Carville since May 22, 2002 when he made the following remark about Bush and 9/11 during an interview with Jane Harman:

CARVILLE: And what's the problem with them knowing what the president -- now I don't think the president -- obviously it's idiotic to think that he knew this was going to happen, didn't do anything about it, but I think a logical question is should he have known, given what was happening?

http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/05/22/cf.crossfire/

I was watching and nearly went ballistic when he said "obviously it's idiotic to think he knew this was going to happen, didn't do anything about it,..."

:puke:

13. he wouldn't take it

party chair seems like a thankless, non-glamorous, relatively low-paying job.

[GreenPartyVoter]

15. Meh. I'd pass.

16. NO. He's a corporate shill, and not all that interested in democracy.

If he was, he wouldn't have worked with the rightwing Venezuelan "opposition" coup plotters.

No, thanks. NO MORE CORPORATISTS!

[burythehatchet]

17. Vehemently NO

There's plenty about him that I don't care for, but sleeping with Mary is all I need to know, seriously.
