The GOP would rather lose than nominate Paul.

Carville to GOP: You have a disaster on your hands (http://www.cnn.com/2012/01/21/opinion/carville-republican-disaster/index.html)


I mean, most people thought it was kind of a watermark when your Tea Party gang booed the golden rule. You know, I've spent some time in Philly and they have always thought they were pretty radical because they actually booed Santa Claus and Willie Mays. Philly, I've got news for you -- you ain't got nothing on South Carolina Republicans. They just aren't buying any of that do-unto-others garbage.
[...]
At any rate, let's talk a minute about Mitt. He was your guy -- he was methodical, meticulous, married once. He has completely blown himself up over an issue that everyone knew was coming. Have you had a chance to look at John McCain's research operation on Mitt? Wow. And let me assure you, that thing has been supplemented, expanded, and annotated. God only knows about the Obama people -- they've got a billion dollars! And how about my friends over at American Bridge, the Democrat-leaning political action committee? Clearly Mitt is merely in the beginning of this tax-return, financial-disclosure, Cayman Island (and God only knows what else) fiasco.

Your new front-runner is one of your old front runners, Newt Gingrich. I would like to take a moment to revel: I cannot personally tell you how pleased I am to see old Newt rise to the top after listening to all of your nauseating, sickening lectures on the evils of government and the importance of family values.

Now, you guys have to deal with a $1.6 million Freddie Mac consultant (who says he wasn't a lobbyist) who has been married three times. Hope you, at least, enjoy the Super Bowl. It could be your last hurrah for a while.

Ole James tells it like it is.

I don't agree with him on policies, but I respect his political savvy.

For people (like me) who never know who these people being spoken about are:


Editor's note: James Carville is a Democratic strategist who serves as a political contributor for CNN, appearing frequently on CNN's "The Situation Room" as well as other programs on all CNN networks. Carville remains active in Democratic politics and is a party fundraiser

I don't think so. I think the G.O.P. will be us in November, and we'll put it over nicely.

I also think we might just be able to get through to Fox viewers that Fox wants Obama reelected. Why would I say that? Carville just told you why. Couldn't be more obvious.

Gingrich is a joke. No one of sound mind of any intellect to speak of would vote for him.

Fortunately it looks like the guy could drop dead any moment, he looks like he is on death's door.

Carville has been somewhat friendly to Ron Paul over the years, I think he even invited him to speak at a class he teaches/taught in Louisiana once. I don't think Paul ever took him up on it, but I think Carville has some respect for Ron Paul.

The GOP isn't getting destroyed, it is getting reborn. Growing pains.

Reminds me of this Carville & Gingrich Teach at Tulane

Gingrich 56:45 "You gotta pick villains, I'm happy to be anti-al qaeda. If you want to get a victim...."

Funny you should say that. I was looking at him today and noticed he has the 'heart attack' mark on his earlobe.
