"Begala, Carville, Lehane, McCurry, Lockhart, Ickes, etc.... all worked for Jhon Cari's campaign and failed miserably, especially McCurry with his election night comments about the exit polls."
Perhaps they weren't trying to win and were successful. If Jhon had won, he, not Mrs. Clinton, would be running in 2008.
That's not as far fetched as some would have us believe. The Clinton people are certainly capable of planning a senario such as that. And as history shows us, the Clinton inner circle would toss their mothers overboard if it suited the goals of either Clinton. Too bad we don't have a few Republicans with backbones that command that degree of loyalty. Say what you will about the Clintons, scum that they are, they play to win. Not something we can say about many Republicans.
