While much of the nation’s eyes were glued to televisions on Tuesday for the President’s State of the Union Address, inside the Hyatt Regency Irvine all eyes were on keynote speakers James Carville and Mary Matalin.

In the very room where President Bush spoke last April, Matalin and Carville addressed a room full of Orange County’s dignitaries, including mayors from Tustin, Aliso Viejo, Huntington Beach, Brea and Corona. Aside from teasing one another and making remarks about their opposing parties, they each talked about the state of the nation’s politics.

Matalin spoke first, garnering the audience’s undivided attention.
Turning to the political state of the nation, she spoke of the adjustment needed by both parties to their new roles as majority and minority leaders. Republicans have not been the minority since 1994, she said. What’s the answer to the big question of what will happen now? Nobody knows, she said.

But she outlined three possibilities: The worst case scenario is that the continued objections and “let’s go against Bush” sentiment will continue; the best case scenario is what has historically happened, and what President Bush is hoping for, that a divided government produces results and could make some progress on issues of energy, immigration and health care; the more likely scenario is that there will be a holding pattern until 2008, because these campaigns are so accelerated everyone will be setting and manipulating agendas for their own campaign.

When asked who he is going for, the fervent Democrat answered, of course, Hilary Clinton. He even added that the title of his next book will be “OK, she’s ambitious. You got a problem with that?”

2. Carville The Turncoat should be banned from the Democratic Party

When he shared with his wife the Kerry-Edwards plans on Election eve, he clearly has shown where he stands and has defaulted ANY credentials as a trusted person within the Democratic Party. It's in State Of Denial by Bob Woodward (pp-343-346).

It's funny how he's working with Mrs. Clinton's campaign... I think I can connect the dots.

3. Note the traditional Repub misspelling of Hillary's name
