James Carville is crazy...but crazy like a fox many times. While most Democratic commentators have missed the meaning of this election and fail to comprehend the total drubbing they received, Carville gets it.
He recognizes that things are bad and that his party must be "re-born." Here's his idea:
Mr. Carville, who had just returned from a vacation at Disney World with his family and wife, Republican strategist Mary Matalin, at times seemed unable to put into words just how much of a hill Democrats have to climb.
He said he is considering writing a book about what direction Democrats should go.
One possibility, he said, was to embrace a reform-oriented, anti-Washington agenda. That would require the ability of members of Congress to reject pork projects for their districts and stake the party's fortunes on fiscal discipline.
This is a fantastic idea. Look, the Dems used to be the party you couldn't trust with your money. Now, thanks to Bush and his friends in Congress, you can't trust the Republicans either. Whoever gets back on the right side of this issue will - I think - have a huge advantage over the other party.
