Hope for change

James Carville is one of my favorite public figures. He doesn't mince his words, is kinda folksy, and has orchestrated a few routs. What's not to like?

Maybe only a southern man can somehow walk in the highest, most elite, circles of power on earth and exude an aura of down-home-ism at the same time. Or, maybe it has more to do with maintaining a rural vs citified speaking style (as in Reagan's case). Anyway, however he does it, I am a James Carville fan.

He has formed an organization called Democracy Corps whose goal is to make politicians more responsive to the wishes of the governed. Here's a link to the site:

Democracy Corps

On that site you can find a report called "Strategic and message clarity on the eve of the convention" which is his analysis of Kerry's chances against Bush:

Framework Favoring John Kerry’s Election

As a Kerry supporter I am most encouraged by this line: "There is no real
area where the president stands on firm ground."

Yipee!
