In 1992, Carville helped lead Bill Clinton to a win against George H. W. Bush in the presidential election. In crafting an economic strategy for Clinton, Carville reprised the populist rhetoric his client, Pennsylvania Senator Harris Wofford, successfully wielded the prior year, which was distilled into a series of articles Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele wrote for The Philadelphia Inquirer. The articles were re-printed into book form: America: What Went Wrong?

Carville sought to shield Clinton from Gennifer Flowers’ allegations of her extramarital sexual affair, which emerged shortly before the 1992 New Hampshire Democratic primary. Carville alleged that a supermarket tabloid paid Flowers $175,000 for sharing her story, and that “the mainstream media got sucker-punched” by her allegations. Carville set out to shame the press, berating reporters with charges of “cash for trash” journalism, and noted: “I’m a lot more expensive than Gennifer Flowers.”

In response to the 1997 civil lawsuit then Arkansas state employee Paula Jones filed against Bill Clinton over her claims of sexual harassment while attending a conference on official business, Carville infamously remarked: “Drag a hundred dollars through a trailer park and there’s no telling what you’ll find.”

I still predict it will all be settled very quickly, perhaps modulo the timing of the announcement.

Who needs Democrat primaries and voters when the Politburo can just pick the leader?

Who's paying Carville?

“We can recruit the two most obvious and qualified people in the world to facilitate substantive discussions: Barack Obama and Bill Clinton"

I’d vote to send all 3 of them to prison.

Hey James... it’s called a Primary and no one was allowed in when there was time on the clock. Now with 2 minutes left on the clock you want to bring the bench warmers and people in the stands onto the field and try to win the Super Bowl when the score is 100 to zero. Good luck there chrome dome.

Wasn’t that the purpose of the primaries? Let the people decide instead of a quasi politburo?

Gee, Snakehead, I guess that “democracy” thing is only for everyone else, your party can do what it wants behind closed doors, eh?

Yeah, back to the old “smoke filled rooms” of party big wigs deciding on their own who a party nominee should be. That’s something “progressives” have long complained was “wrong with the system”. It was really only ever “wrong” when they did not like the result.
