Carville Predicts Gore '08 Run

ABC News' Paul Fidalgo Reports: "I think he's gonna run," James Carville told Don Imus Tuesday morning of former Vice President Gore's potential presidential ambitions.

Appearing as a guest on "Imus in the Morning" on radio and MSNBC, the former Clinton strategist said: "Running for president is like sex, Don. You don't do it once and forget about it."

This is not the first time that Carville has offered his prediction about Gore, or uttered his line about sex, but it is likely to receive additional attention in the wake of Gore's high-profile Sunday appearance during the 79th Annual Academy Awards.

...

Carville expressed his support for Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., but said that it would be "difficult" for her to win the Democratic nomination.

As for the man for whom he once worked, Carville said, "Bill Clinton is the most popular human being on Earth," and referred to himself as a "Shiite Clintonite."

1. WTH is a "Shi'ite Clintonite"

and why in the hell would Carville be so STUPID as to link a Muslin religious sect to the Clintons/Democrats?! :banghead:

[Kagemusha]

4. I'm pretty sure he means.. Clintonite, but not orthodox Clintonite.

Having said that I abhor his use of the phrase.

[brentspeak]

5. Carville has turned into a total dummy recently

[kestrel91316]

12. Uh, because he's actually a Repubic operative? I thought

everybody knew............

[Ladydawnelle]

13. Agreed

I also thought everyone knew!

It's all about Mary (yuckkkkkkkkk)

[yardwork]

14. Because he's a complete asshole

Frankly.

[GreenPartyVoter]

2. I don't listen to this guy anymore.

[geek tragedy]

3. Carville's trying to keep donors away from Obama by

getting them to think that Gore will enter the race.

[MGKrebs]

24. I suspect you are correct.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

6. If I were married to Carville's wife I'd do it once and forget about it.

[BayCityProgressive]

7. Carville

Had a hand in trying to get rid of Chavez in Venezuela. He is slimey.

[Toucano]

16. Once would be too much for me. n/t

[w4rma]

8. Good. (nt)

[jaksavage]

9. Carville is a double agent

He is not helping the Demos, his ties are far too close to the repubes. There are others as well.

[Arugula Latte]

11. I've come to that conclusion as well.

He routinely stabs us in the back. I despise him.

[Freddie Stubbs]

15. So, the Republicans want Gore to run?

:shrug:

[jaksavage]

19. No, I think

Their choice is Hillary. I think it is a done deal between GHWB and BC.
Though shrill is the tenor of their dislike for the clintons, a demoractic pres. is certain and clinton is pro biz . They just need enemies to rage against.

[goclark]

23. Carville and Donna B. are not to be trusted

I thought he was working for Hillary.

[jaksavage]

26. perfect

[saracat]

10. Hmm. This is very odd.Why is Carville saying this?

And why is he saying the nomination will be "difficult" for Hillary if he is on her team? Maybe just so her supporters don't take the nomination for granted and to light a fire under them with "fear of Gore" ? If Carvilles thinks Gore is running, he isn't!

[jaysunb]

17. He's saying it because it's true

n/t

[Generator]

18. Matalin needed some new drapes and a Bahamavention

After all, the love of her life could have died!!!!!!

Propaganda pays the bills.

[David Zephyr]

20. This is Bill Clinton using Carville to smoke Gore out into declaring or not.

God, I am really growing tired of the Clintonistas.

And, I am not alone. People that I know that have admired him and her are turning off in droves across the country.

David Geffen had it right on the spot: I'm tired of seeing James Carville on television, too.

[hedgehog]

21. I'm confused, is this the James Carville that was so instrumental

in building the Democratic Party from the grass roots up to ensure a Democratic Congress between 1992-2000 ready, willing and able to work with President Clinton?

[jaksavage]

27. 1992 to 2000 ?

Again he failed miserably.

[fidgeting wildly]

22. Carville and Brazile need to go away.

Far away. These two are hedging their bets, hoping they'll magically become relevant again if/when Gore enters the race. The joke's on them, though. Nobody cares what either of those two say. This is pure speculation on my part, but I think they're two of the last people in the world that Gore would associate himself with.

[jollyreaper2112]

25. wtf

Carville can suck the business-end of a shotgun, as far as I'm concerned, and the sooner the better! Alien-faced mutant-eyed freak.

[hedgehog]

28. Ah, come on , tell us how you really feel about the man! nt

[jollyreaper2112]

29. how do I really feel?

I want Carville to drown in a pool of vomit. Could be his own, could be someone else's, I'm not particular about the details.
