James Carville underscored the concerns among Democrats about the current economic picture and what it means for 2012 in a radio interview with Scott Hennen:

"Everything worries me in this environment. Nobody’s gotten elected with these kinds of numbers. So, I’m worried in the general election. I profoundly admit that. Again, Romney’s just making a technocratic kind of confidence argument, and he’s really kind of a windsock of a guy. If you don’t like his position on something, give it a day he’ll change it."

To some extent, underscoring concern helps gin up the Democratic base and crystallizes the fact that there will be a nominee fairly soon, after months of a slow-moving race.
Carville, in addition to panning Mitt Romney, broadly trashed Rick Perry, and said that Herman Cain "is not going to be the president of anything. Herman Cain goes out and he got a 999, and it’s 909, and he’s like changing area codes. The guy can’t even figure out what his position on abortion yet, which is kind of a basic issue.
He gleefully professes ignorance on foreign policy. Again, I’m not, but if I were a person, if I had a conservative world view and I was looking for our next election to have somebody to articulate that view, I would be unbelievably disappointed. Herman Cain is a salesman. I mean, he’s not trying in one sense. He’s just trying to get some attention. He’s not going to get the nomination."
No matter how much Carville trashes the GOP candidates, I just don’t hear him selling the accomplishments of his choice for POTUS.
I think Carville wants Hillary very badly. That way Bill can have another Intern in the White House and Carville could handle the cigars.
Serpent Head sees romney for what he is and he is the loyal opposition, unlike rove who is just a duplicitous, elitist liberal SOB who claims to be on our side.
I was referring to Mr. Obama’s 2008 campaign. Now THAT was one helluva sales job(or whatever you’d wish to call it).
