Carville: Gore Looks Like 'a Corpse'
Former Clinton war room capo James Carville is trashing ex-Vice
President Al Gore's decision this week to endorse Howard Dean, saying that Gore
looked like "a corpse" at Tuesday's announcement ceremony in Harlem.
"It was the perfect picture of a doctor and a corpse standing there,"
Carville told radio host Don Imus Thursday morning.
The Clinton hit man also derided Dean's decision to bring Gore to Harlem in a
bid to appeal to African-Americans, saying Gore could never compete with his old
boss.
"I don't think Al Gore should even get in the same ring with Bill Clinton
when it comes to trying to impress black voters," Carville advised.
The Democratic strategist openly boasted that the Vermont Democrat's
presidential bid was doomed, recounting a conversation he had with one top Dean
aide.
"I told Steve McMahon, the media guy for Dean, who was on 'Crossfire': You
have one of the three most influential presidential campaigns of my lifetime.
That's the good news. The bad news is the other two are McGovern and Goldwater."
Carville predicted that Gore would run for president himself in 2008, but
wouldn't stand a chance against Hillary Clinton. "It would be a titanic struggle
but it would be more of a personal struggle as opposed to an ideological
struggle," he explained.
"My sense is, if it came down to that, it wouldn't be very close," he told
Imus.
