Can the Democrats trust Carville since he is married to Mary Matalin?

[still_one]

[onehandle]

1. We always have. nt

[still_one]

3. I worry that if he becomes part of the Kerry campaign

he might divudge strategy to her...

[shraby]

5. The Republicans trust Mary.

Carville is good and has a loud voice and can talk over anybody else and be heard. I think a loud voice is critical when 2 talking heads are on..drown out the opposition.

[EnfantTerrible]

2. Can the Repug's trust Mary Matelin since she's married to Carville?

:shrug:

[still_one]

4. They are more ruthless...

[EnfantTerrible]

8. You don't think Carville is ruthless? heh heh heh ha ha ahaaaaa

Seriously... he's a stone cold killer.

[RevCheesehead]

6. I thought they split up...are they back together? n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

27. They were on MTP together on Sunday.

I didn't know they had split up. I could never understand why he ever married her. :puke:

[Hanover_Fist]

7. It's just a little

too hard for me to swallow too. I could not inhabit the same house as someone who defended the BFEE as vehementley as Matalin does.

[Gloria]

9. On MTP, she actually talked about PNAC goals (without using the

words). For some reason, that freaked me out....I don't think even Gingrich expressed this concept as directly as Matalin.

I don't see how Carville and she can live in the same house! Hell, my mother is a "freeper" and we have knock down drag out battles on a regular basis....it's ugly.

[Kahuna]

18. That wowan is too foul. I tried to watch yesterday. But...

I couldn't stomach Mary. :puke:

[loathesomeshrub]

12. They apparently don't talk politics at home.....

[Carolina]

25. which is incredibly unbelieveable

considering that their lives and livelihood(s) revolve around politics. How do you turn it off at the front door or the bedroom door? It's beyond me since I can't bear to be around friends (some now FORMER friends) who are Bush-supporting repukes. :shrug:

[SeekingTruth]

10. Don't forget...

Carville and Matalin were dating during the 92 campaign....and nothing was ever rumored about leaks then...(that I know of)...

[kskiska]

11. They appeared together on one of the Sunday morning shows

She didn't look awfully happy and kept looking down as James talked. She probably doesn't like his becoming involved with Kerry's campaign.

[Cybergata]

15. I for one am glad he is!

Carville is on smart campaign strategist. :hippie:

[PA Democrat]

19. I saw that and thought it very odd

Every time Carville spoke, Mary put her head down, completely hiding her face from view. It would have been interesting to see the expression on her face.

[Blue Gardener]

31. Didn't want anyone to see her forked tongue

Hard to keep that thing hidden. That woman just looks reptilian to me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

29. I saw that too! AND...

she didn't interrupt him...like she ALWAYS does! My husband and I thought something was up since she wasn't her usual mouthy self. Now we know why. :)

[Rowdyboy]

13. Without question n/t

[cosmicvortex20]

14. They know how to play the game...

[Eloriel]

16. I don't understand how he can be married to Matalin, but

the main reason I don't trust him is that he supported Chavez's opposition in Venezuela. He served as a consultant to them.

[Carolina]

26. I hear ya, Eloriel

that bothered me immensely, too. I have wondered about him ever since.

[no name no slogan]

34. I've never trusted him, either

the anti-Chavez consulting just proved my suspicions right.

OTOH, I guess I'm glad that mean bastard is on OUR side, and not their's...

[JI7]

17. Carville can always be trusted, he helped Kerry in the primary and will

continue helping him

[AmerDem]

20. I don't think their relationship will be holding up

much longer. They are always fighting. You can see the disdain she has for him when they are out in public. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if their relationship is one like many elected politician,a marriage of convenience. They put on a good public front for image and financial reasons, plus they do have 2 children, so i'm sure that weighs in on it also. my $.02

[loudsue]

21. Absolutely Not! Matalin is an advisor to Cheney.....

I think Carville is doing his job when he's out there being the "voice of the liberals"... but I question his sincerity.

:tinfoilhat: But then again, I just don't trust hardly anyone 'imbedded' in the media these days. If liberal pundits were truly sincere, they'd be knocking home runs out of the park during the bush years, right there on TV. But, in spite of some of the good Carville zingers, he still has to go home and get hammered by his wife.

There is NO WAY they don't discuss politics 'at home'. Anybody that shares a bed with a spouse knows that is damn near impossible. But when that's ALSO what you do for a LIVING? When you're in "Communications" fields? That would mean you don't share about 80% of what's most important to you: your values AND your life's work! That's NOT a marriage.

I don't buy it. Either the fact that they're in "Communications" is a lie, or the fact that they 'don't communicate' about it is a lie. Since it's plain to see the TRUTH is that they're both in the "Communications" field, I have to believe the spin that 'they don't talk about it (COMMUNICATE) at home' is pure bullshit.

I don't think Carville would be safe for the Kerry team... we don't need anymore insiders showing our hand. Carville prolly already has too much access to Kerry's camp insiders.

:kick::kick::kick:

[DaveinMD]

22. Carville

is great and its none of anyone's business who he is married to. IT doesn't affect how he does his job one bit. We trusted him just fine in 92 and 96 when he helped us win the White House.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

23. Never have trusted the DLC shill.

Mary Matalin is his punishment.

[DaveinMD]

41. DLC shill?

Carville is the best attack dog we have.

[AntiCoup2K4]

24. Let Carville say whatever the Hell he wants on TV, but...

...keep him off the campaign. Matalin was at the White House when Uncle Dick was finalizing the scenario for 9-11-01. I wouldn't be surprised if she knows the whole story. She is not to be trusted, period.

[Bat Boy]

28. As much as you can trust any pundit.

Personally that's a species I'd like to see extinct, but as pundits go he's okay.

I think the real question is, "Can we trust what he says?" Because talking is what he does. The answer to that, for me is, trust him, but trust my own eyes and ears more.

[enki23]

30. no

.

[Zhade]

32. I can't trust him because of his ties to the Venezuelan "opposition".

NT!

[Stephanie]

33. SOLUTION: Carville can divorce Matalin and marry ME

I volunteer. It's for my country!

[I_Hug_Trees]

35. I swear she looks like

one of us. If I did not know better, I'd swear she was a dolly dagger.

[napi21]

36. I trust Carville. I don't know how his marriage works!

On camera they both seem to be reasonably happy, off camera, who knows. I trust him though.

[genius]

37. Carville is on the wrong side of a lot of issues.I bet she reads his email

[DaveinMD]

40. what issues

would those be. He's a good progressive Democrat.

[Raiden]

38. Carville is a bulldog

He is exactly what the Kerry Campaign needs. I doubt that he'll sell us out.

[MGKrebs]

39. What we need is a fixer.

Like James Baker. Or Kissinger. Or McNulty.

Do we have one of those?
