Carville's Performance on Meet the Press

James Carville was in great form on this mornings edition of Meet the Press. After admitting that he had egg on his face after predicting a Kerry win he literally smashed an egg on his head. Soon after he quipped "the only politician with a mandate is James McGreevey". He came off a little nuts but made some excellent points. He defined some strategies for the future of the Democratic Party and hinted that the DLC shouldn't capitulate to the Republicization of their policies.

Tony Blair was also on this morning. Other than clothing selection, he continues to refuse to differentiate himself with Bush on any of the issues. He seems willing to brush aside opinion polls back home that overwhelmingly disapprove with both Bush and the war in Iraq. To me he looks very different to the man I saw in interviews before the Iraq war. It must be difficult for an obviously intelligent man to align himself with policies that have been and continue to be fundamentally flawed.
