Opinion: James Carville sleeps with a Republican

James Carville of all people wants your help. The old Democratic attack dog has just sent out an e-mail blast for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee seeking, of course, money but also something else -- a catchy bumper sticker slogan for the 2008 congressional campaign.

‘When I look at 2008,’ Carville says in his usual subtle way, ‘I’m telling you that Democrats have almost everything we need to send another wave of Republican Senators out to pasture. They’ve got 22 incumbents [up for reelection]. We’ve got 12. We’re going to get top-shelf whip smart candidates. They’ve got a bunch of drones.’

The committee already has some ideas: ‘2006 was just the beginning More Dems in 08,’ ‘No Republicans Left Behind in DC,’ ‘What have Republicans done for you lately?’

Carville promises the winner will adorn tons of campaign literature next year and vows to even plant one sticker on the forehead of ‘that wayward GOP supporter’ in his life, his wife, Republican strategist and former White House staffer Mary Matalin.

You can vote on the committee’s bumper sticker ideas or write your own.
