James Carville on the Civil War Within the Democratic Party (Video)

James Carville makes sense of the 2008 Democratic Primary, or the mind-blowing historic civil war within the Democratic Party. The video clip is from his talk at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. Among other things, Carville comments on Reverend Wright's recent backstabbing of Obama. James Carville will speak in Knoxville, Tennessee on May 15.


"If she gave [Obama] one of her cojones, they'd both have two."

--James Carville

Meanwhile, the Reverend Wright story shows no sign of subsiding. In, "Why Oprah Winfrey left Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church," Newsweek reports an interesting comment by an Obama advisor: "[His] reasons for attending Trinity were totally different. . Early on, he was in search of his identity as an African-American and, more importantly, as an African-American man. Reverend Wright and other male members of the church were instrumental in helping him understand the black experience in America. Winfrey wasn't going for that. She's secure in her blackness, so that didn't have a hold on her.'"
