Why has Hillary hired James Carville?

[FreedomAngel82]

I'm listening to Stephanie Miller's show the last hour from February twenty-seventh and she mentioned Hillary has hired James Carville. Why? Nobody can beat her for her Senate campaign and I get Emails all the time (I did volunteer and signed myself up for her Email list) and there's always an Email asking for donations. So does anybody know about this?

1. Why do you think she hired him?

2008 isn't so far away anymore.

[Auntie Bush]

9. She wanted to be sure to get the best of the best before anyone else.

signed him up. Most are waiting till after the 2006 election. She's just getting first dibs and that should cure any doubt that she's running.

10. Carville was a fucking clown during Kerry's campaign.

He'd go on MSNBC and poke Tucker Eskew and taunt him about "your boy Bush."

Anyone who thinks that Carville had an OUNCE of commitment during Kerry-Edwards 2004, now's the time to raise your hand.

Fucking CLOWN. Who needs him.

:grr:

2. she Wants to Use His Head as a Budha

or maybe a crystal ball so she can look into the future.

3. Maybe because hiring

James Carville worked out for Bill.

[Cleita]

6. Yeah, it did. I wondered why Al Gore didn't use him instead of

Donna Brazille.

4. Are you kidding?

You think she's just running for Senate?

[SoCalDem]

5. Because Cheney told Matalin to get her husband a job with Hillary

and because politicians are always running 2 or 3 elections at a time.. They one to keep the position they HAVE, the one they hope to "graduate" to, and re-elction after that one../

They have such tunnel vision about their own "career", they miss most of what's going on right NOW

14. BINGO ~ Carville has no spine anymore

He was a brilliant AIDE for Clinton but now he is a wimp IMO.

7. Because Carville needs a job...

...and his wife needs the inside scoop on the Democratic Presidential primaries that the bug she puts in his shorts gives her.

[mzteris]

8. 'cause Carville's wife will soon be out of work

and one of them needs a good paying job!

11. I think this is

stretching the truth a little........The reason is Carville said he would never get directly involved in a campaign for anyone..Look he's making so damn much money why does he want that headache

[Gman]

15. Because he's committed to Hillary his friend and Hillary the candidate

that has a very strong shot at being the first woman president. Carville would love to be directly involved and responsible for the country electing its first woman president. That'd be an awfully big badge of honor for Carville.

[INdemo]

16. I believe there is a big difference between Carville 1992 and Carville 2006

for one thing his ideology has changed and being married to the Right wing propagandist well....

[Gman]

17. OTOH,

Matalin is married to a left wing propagandist...

I don't think his ideology has changed one bit. However I recognize that Carville's a bit too pragmatic for many here at DU.

12. Yikes.

Isn't he involuntarily involved with the WIGS.

[killbotfactory]

13. Oh, I dunno..

Why did Bill hire him?
