James Carville: "It's a feel-good story, this Romney thing. Romney is an ascendant guy."
Dictionary.com Unabridged
Ascendant
-- a position of dominance or controlling influence: possession of power, superiority, or preeminence.
-- ascending; rising.
-- superior; predominant.
Romney -- a superior, dominant, influential, upward-rising kind of guy -- sounds good to me. And true. Looks like even Carville is right every now and then. He did after all marry Fred Thompson's campaign adviser, Mary Matalin. He can't be wrong all the time, right?
