Carville is advising against future successes. He should be summarily ignored.

Let me repeat this again, and read this carefully:

Clinton didn't support Dean for DNC chair last time around. Clinton backed Simon Rosenberg. In the DNC chair primary, Rosenberg got 3 votes. Dean won 56. 91 votes were cast.

If Clinton had that much pull, Dean would have been pole-axed before the last DNC general election in Feb. 2005.

Do you even know who the DNC membership is? Do you know what it takes to be a voting member?

Here's one thing you should know: Neither Carville nor Clinton can cast a vote.

Carville doesn't make mistakes

Oh?

Woodward describes the doings at the White House in the early morning hours of Wednesday, the day after the '04 election.

Apparently, Kerry had decided not to concede. There were 250,000 outstanding ballots in Ohio.

So Kerry decides to fight. In fact, he considers going to Ohio to camp out with his voters until there is a recount. This is the last thing the White House needs, especially after Florida 2000.

So what happened?

James Carville gets on the phone with his wife, Mary Matalin, who is at the White House with Bush.

"Carville told her he had some inside news. The Kerry campaign was going to challenge the provisional ballots in Ohio -- perhaps up to 250,000 of them. 'I don't agree with it, Carville said. I'm just telling you that's what they're talking about.'

"Matalin went to Cheney to report...You better tell the President Cheney told her."

Matalin does, advising Bush that "somebody in authority needed to get in touch with J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Republican Secretary of State in Ohio who would be in charge of any challenge to the provisional votes." An SOS goes out to Blackwell.

Carville is a husk. A hack. A whore. A chicken-fried Coulter. Mickey Kaus without the looks or charm.

Notice how Harold Ford politely backed out of the room when Skeletor namechecked him. And keep your eyes open - everyone will immediately do the same. Except Tim Russert.

Carville is hughly entertaining but should be ignored these days by the grownups.  I do wonder if the Clintons are pulling these strings?

As for mistakes, geez, he married Mary Matalin.

I'm waiting for the rotten.com biography for Carville - he's the perfect candidate. But this factoid from Rush Limbaugh's pretty much sums up his place in the pundit pantheon:

27 May 1994 Marries third wife Marta Fitzgerald, a 35-year-old aerobics instructor he met on Compuserve. The two are married in Justice Clarence Thomas' house, with the ceremony officiated by Thomas himself. Also in attendance were William Bennett, James Carville and Mary Matalin.

What a hoot that must have been.  I wonder if he told his Ray Charles joke.
