Margaret Carlson makes a funny:
Going forward, Clinton will push for more debates in which she can expose the naivete and inexperience of the untested Obama, while baiting the press into delving into his unexamined life. The latter effort is part of a major theme — that she can better withstand any Republican attack because she already has.
This is the first known instance of going negative against yourself — reminding people of your scandals to show you are scandal-proof.
There are a lot of obituaries going around. A lot.
Meanwhile, with Lincoln Chafee’s endorsement, Barack Obama is going to take Hillary’s war vote on strong in Rhode Island. I think Obama should take Chafee around with him everywhere and just blister Clinton on the war.
Oh, and James Carville still hates Howard Dean. From last night’s Larry King Live:
CARVILLE: The problem here is it’s not — it’s not the candidates and it’s not the party elders or the people who made the rules. It’s over a million people in Florida went out and voted and expressed a preference.
Now, is the Democratic Party — big “D,” Democratic Party, also, the small “D,” Democratic Party — well, we say gee, you’re — you don’t count because you’re not in the rule book. I don’t know. And that’s something we’re going to have to look at.
But I’m not a — I’m not a big fan of — and it has nothing to do with Senator Obama or Senator Clinton — I’m just not a big fan — and it has nothing to do with Chairman Dean, who I’ve expressed reservations with him any number of times before. It’s just the accumulation of the way that we’ve built up these goofy rules about delegates and what we do and don’t do.
That mofo…it was breathtaking to watch him try to not say he hated Dean and not outright say that Clinton should be president again. I was waiting for any of those other 5 people to just ask him straight out what the Clinton’s offered him if they get the presidency back.
Yes, more Carville, please. Each time that sphincter-faced con artist shoots off his mouth it highlights the past versus future contrast.
Why exactly does Carville continue to get air time? He has nothing of any worth to say and his act long ago ceased to be of any entertainment value.
Same reason that blonde gas bag of a republican gets air time.
They say stuff that sells….
I think he is our version of Ann Coulter. Only prettier š
Carville, Begala, Penn, Ford Jr. are 4 of 20 reasons why I’m rooting for Obama.
I’m not counting the Clinton machine out. She intends to go for broke and will destroy party unity – what’s left of it.
Meanwhile McCain has up his new message “Ready To Lead On Day One”
Does that remind you of anyone?
He also said he’s “fired up and ready to go”
The “no you can’t, get off my lawn” guy is working hard on his polly-want-a-cracker routine.
In other words: “We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!”
Now what administration (recent) does that remind you of?
It’s always a challenge quoting Carville cause you just can’t get the rhythm of the stutter.
do you really like rcp as a news source? OK, it’s not the batshit crazy wing of the right blogosphere, but today next to the article you cite they have: Will, Novak, Santorum, VD Hanson, the WSJ, the Moonie Times and the Economist. If you’ve found something to agree with there, isn’t it the stopped clock?
that article is from the Boston Phoenix.
yeah, saw that. I don’t know anything about their reputation, but they aren’t in good company.
although I guess if you want to see what the conventional “wisdom” is saying, it’s all there in one place.
that particular article makes some sense, and taken all together I guess we’re seeing the MSM coming together against Hillary.
New Mexico just called for Clinton. Slim majority.
Eh, one delegate difference, but let’s see how it’s played up.
But, unlike us, at least New Mexico is now “significant”. ::sniff::
Just saw at MyDD that Obama got the endorsement of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
SEIU to reconsider endorsements tonight and might go with him.

My CA side, is significant, but I was born in MO and that side is feeling like tonsils right now.
I’m amused by Carville’s attempts to spin the Florida situation as like 2000. Nice try. Somehow it just doesn’t resonate. Maybe it’s time to remind people once again how the Clinton campaign ‘won’ Florida and Michigan. This issue is emblematic of the Clinton character.
