Why has the Ragin Cajun abandoned us ?

I read on his web site that he's not doing 'domestic' campaigns.

Personally I think hes's a mean spirtied, vicious, brilliant SOB and the only hope we have to pull this out.

Does anyone have any more info on why he's not playing this time around ?

1. He hasnt
hes just not running the war room any more. He said he doesnt think he will ever get involved in another campaign. Hes still with us though, and serving as voice against the bush extremeists

6. Baloney!
He hasn't been promoting us at all on Crossfire.He just sat there when a repug congressman and Tucker said we were trailing in the polls and he agreed.He has been completely apathetic lately.I think it may have something to do with the Newsweek remarks of Hillary Clinton that she is not ruling out 2008.Ergo, a Kerry win would not be beneficial.

8. I heard him on Imus
and he was definitely stumping for us. I dont think he is all that upset about the polls. Tight poll numbers will motivate more of us to get to the polls and will probably swing more voters our way. Just my hunch. I know he's said he wont take up another campaign, he's finished with them. I guess he could come back for a hillary run but last I heard he was done with campaigns.

2. I would think it could have something to do with his crazy wife.
I remember doing the last election she said to him if he does anything to keep bush from winning she would divorce him. (no loss) I don't really trust someone that has a wife in the opposition's corner to the extent she does.

7. Really. No sex in the world could be that good. Bet she told him
she'd take the kids and he'd never see them again if he worked for Kerry. Again, I shake my head at the fact that he is married to that woman.

4. His presence takes attention away from the candidate
so he only works over seas. I think he is still working and advising in some way shape or form.

5. Yes, he's busy trying to overthrow Hugo Chavez right now
He's been working with an 'opposition group' down there all year. I stopped being a fan of his after I heard about that.

:shrug:

10. Yep, we're screwed.
The Shrub's fighting hard. He's gonna bury us in terror alerts and well publicised arrests. That and he fights hard. Carville would have fought back and hit hard.

11. We don't need Carville.
And we are NOT screwed. Bush is busy doing that to himself! His quote today was hilarious and picked up by mainstream media.And the swiftboats ad exploded in his face.You shouldn't be so negative!
