I for one, will NEVER AGAIN, consider voting for a Republican.

True, Carville tends to leave a bad taste in people’s mouth, much like Hillary Clinton does, so it is easy for people to disregard his prediction. Given that, it is easy for people to overlook whom he is married too, Mary Matalin.

Matalin is very close to the Bush family. Remember her name even popped up in the whole Valerie Plame scandal. Not only that, she also was a member of the White House Iraq Group, the group that was charged with the task of convincing us that Saddam Hussein had WMDs and how he refused to cooperate with United Nations weapons inspectors.

Sure, Matalin and Carville have said they don’t talk politics at home, but I wouldn’t be surprised if something was mentioned around the dinner table by accident. It is only natural. My sister is a medical doctor and she is a stickler when it comes to patient confidentiality. Just mentioning a first name, she feels like she committed a mortal sin. But the fact is even she has one of those fallible moments and slips.

Or she could have purposefully it slip so Carville floats the idea in public and see public reactions. Whatever the reason, he did throw the name out there despite the fact many Americans do have “Bush fatigue.”

Hopefully, the Hillary and Obama strategists are also reading this blog and do take this post to heart. I would rather look at all possibilities now, than pay for it later.

Though I agree with Tony that this would tip off McCain’s campaign strategists, I also feel Clinton and Obama’s campaign managers need to see it too to get a heads-up.

Great work!

While the mainstream media banters about Mitt Romney as a possible V.P. candidate and how such selection would appease the conservative Republican Party factions and contribute towards the strengthening of the party and their prospects for remaining in the White House, I find your analysis a strategy of worthy consideration by the McCain handlers.

The selection of former Gov. Jeb Bush would go far with Latinos who would suddenly be faced with a ticket that features a Presidential candidate who favors “comprehensive immigration reform” and a V.P. candidate with a Mexican born wife and their bi-cultural Son “P” stumping on the campaign trail.

I shudder at the thought that McCain’s campaign strategists would possibly read your blog and specially this post, because if your scenario plays out, it’s a potent formula for McCain’s campaign, one that surely would throw the Democrats for a loop. I concur with you that if that were to happen, I really…really…hope that Obama or Clinton would make that to New Mexico and consider what Gov. Bill Ricardson would bring to their ticket.
