I don't think he was kicked to the curb, though unless it was Mark Penn that kicked him. Clinton owed his Presidency to Carville and Begala and their "War Room" rapid response team which Obama built on using the Internet. I had wished Gore could have used them.

In spite of Mary Matalin...Carville can speak the "populist language" better than any other Political Consultant on the Dem side I've ever heard. Did I trust him? No...but he's an expert at what he does and will be familiar to those who supported Bill Clinton as I did. But.....I would not campaign for him again...or for Hillary. There are many other Democrats who will find Carville comforting as they do with Hillary being the next President, though. So...he's an excellent voice for her needs with that strong group of older Clinton supporters.

Besides, Hillary will be running against "raging assholes" from the other side, so she might as well have a few of her own on her side.

and to sell books.

but a lot of things he says can't be trusted these days.

But it is very likely to me that Carville's behaviour or not, Hillary was all but sad when Bush was " re elected"!
