Carville predicts a punchout (GOP Takes House, Senate. Obama out in 2012)

National Post ^ | 11/1/10

[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.

Oh, and he’s not sure Mr. Obama will run in 2012; he doesn’t seem to like the job.

The Clinton people are starting to sharpen their knives.

[pingman]

The die is cast...

[rightistight]

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

[Darkwolf377]

Oh, and he’s not sure Mr. Obama will run in 2012; he doesn’t seem to like the job.

I agree with James Carville.

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

[Gasshog]

Thus saith the Snake Head.

Krinton klansman smelling a hilary komeback

[Sacajaweau]

IF Hillary runs....Palin will run.

The Dems have no candidate...We've got a few possibilities...and that doesn't include Romney...Pence, Jindal, Petreaus???

              Then                                            Now.

[IamConservative]

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

....and ice covering everything.

[Vaquero]

So who is the double agent????....

Corporal Cueball Carville

or

Mary Matalin????

“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.” .........

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

“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.”

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.

[facedown]

LOL, very well done.

[TexasNative2000]

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.

[Parley Baer]

Yep, Carville is setting the table for Hillary in 2012.

[Reagan69]

Too funny !

[Jerry Attrick]

clinton’s but*boy.

[HarleyD]

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.

[Gator113]

The buzzards can smell the rotting flesh..... soon the will feast.

[tuckrdout]

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.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

You BET they are.

[Gator113]

“He doesn’t seem to like the job.”

ha ha
He seems to like the golfing and the luxury vacations.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

I agree with James Carville.

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

I imagine it's very cold down there right now...

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Nevada is being stolen for Harry Reid.

That's probably his only chance of winning. I was in NV over the weekend and saw plenty of campaign signs for Angle, but not even one for Dingy.

[Venturer]

He may not like the job , but he LOOOOOOOVES the perks.

They have to deodorise Air Force One daily.

[nmh]

I wonder how many times he cheated on sweet Michele?

[FarNorth]

I think Mary’s conservatism is starting to rub off on him.

‘bout time. He could be the poster boy for NARL (National Association for Reformed Libs)

I know that he is saying this about barry, just to a set up for a hillary run, but it’s kinda fun seeing the libs eat their own.

40 more years - ha!

Perhaps not surprisingly, you can a buy new copy on Amazon for the sum of $0.01. If I was serpent head, I'd buy (and burn) as many copies as possible.

[DoughtyOne]

Remember all the Republicans that came out with the “Reaganism is dead” mantra a few years back? I wonder how that crow is going to taste on Wednesday morning.

[Brucifer]

Hang on, they’ll be passing out ice skates in just a bit.

[condi2008]

[Gulf War One]

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

Now that was funny.

[Hatteras]

As far as the election results, he’s just setting expectations really low for the Dems so that anything better than his dire predictions is a win.

As for Obama in 2012? Sounds like he’s back to cashing Clinton checks.

[SeeSac]

Carville: 2002 Midterms

[Genoa]

he changes the way you taste

What does this mean, he changes the method by which one uses his sense of taste, or the way someone tastes when being eaten? And how might this apply to specific Democrats??

[StormEye]

"He's already apologizing for Obama.

He's paving the way for Hitlery.

Exactly. I expect Hillary supporters to trashing Obama droves after the Nov. 2nd election. The Democrats in the Democrat Party Run Media will start it off.

[dead]

That’s fantastic! Nice job.

[fatima]

Tomorrow is going to be fun,Check list-Beer-check
Total control of the TV-Check.

[mojito]

Hillary will be out at State by January.

Then the plot thickens.

[earlJam]

Crossfire???? Crossfire????

Hmmmm... Sounds familiar. But I don’t remember CNN ever having a serious political show.

[tennmountainman]

Is this the same hack that wrote a book recently about the decade domination of the democrat party? So much for his opinion.

[earlJam]

"I vant to suck your blood!"

Joe Biden - 11/3/2010

[Retired Greyhound]

Unless the GOP nominates a turd candidate in 2012, Obama is out (barring an historic economic boom, but we know that won’t happen).

[arkady_renko]

Where are the Dems going to get an “elder statesman” to tell obummer the news?

[Iron Munro]

I never could understand Mary Matalin's attraction to the little reptile.

[mquinn]

the DUmmy forums are going to explode on the 3rd. I wonder if the Obamaniacs really thought that the Clintonites made peace after he was elected. All those PUMA signs were just stored away temporarily, not permanently.

[rhombus]

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

You did hold your nose and pull the lever for McCain like the rest of us, didn't you? ;-)

[ShandaLear]

They’ve been sharpening them for at least the last 6 months. Obama is so arrogant, he’s not going to see it coming.
