Carville predicts a punchout (GOP Takes House, Senate. Obama out in 2012)
National Post ^ | 11/1/10

Posted on 11/01/2010 10:27:09 AM PDT by earlJam

Mr. Carville, the celebrity strategist behind Bill Clinton’s presidential campaigns, was warning a “hurricane” would descend on Washington on Nov. 1. The only question: Whether it was a minor or a major one.

In Calgary on Friday, for the Teatro Speakers Series, Mr. Carville was more definitive. It would be disastrous.

“It was said of Mike Tyson, he hits you so hard, he changes the way you taste,” Mr. Carville says. For Democrats, “food’s going to taste very different Wednesday morning.” .........

Mr. Carville concedes that he is “more pessimistic than most Democrats” about Tuesday’s mid-term Congressional elections.

He thinks the Senate may go Republican, not just the House, since they’ve always, historically, flipped together. Oh, and he’s not sure Mr. Obama will run in 2012; he doesn’t seem to like the job.

“I hope I’m wrong,” he says of his outlook. Yet he doesn’t seem especially troubled. After all, he believes, it’s not his party’s fault, but larger forces conspiring against them.

The Clinton people are starting to sharpen their knives.

Isn’t Carville the “genius” that predicted Dems would be in power for a generation? What a failure

I agree with James Carville.

Anyone know how and when I died and ended up in Hell?

Harry Reid is going to taste like Evander Holyfield's ear.

If the little snake could be right!!!!

Take over both!

All Obama likes is LIVING LARGE off YOUR MONEY.

He's already apologizing for Obama.

He's paving the way for Hitlery.

He’s getting two birds with one stone: Setting over-the-top expectations so that Tuesday’s results look like a failure, and greasing the skids for Hillary.

Obama will not go quietly. He’s too arrogant and believes he’s doing a great job. If nothing else, he’s the unwanted guest who just hangs around after everyone has left. The Democrats are going to have to push him out-and it won’t be easy.

I can only pray that this is true. I fear that it is not. So many people seem to be voting in West Virginia, Delaware, Connecticut, Alaska, and Washington State for the one they “like”. Nevada is being stolen for Harry Reid...I fear we will wake up Wednesday and nothing but a few more seats will have changed.
