Carville Wears Pumas Off-Camera (PHOTO)

Left-wing talking head and former Bill Clinton campaign strategist James Carville was spotted wearing Puma sneakers off camera while he told CNN on Monday evening that he was unimpressed with the convention, saying, "If this party has a message, it's done a hell of a job hiding it tonight, I promise you that." Known for being sporty yet fashionable, Pumas are of course also associated with supporters of Hillary Clinton who do not support Barack Obama (Party Unity My Ass). Thanks to Mountain Sage for the story.

So?

We've seen througout this convention that the PUMAs were nothing more than an urban legend propped up by the media to keep us watching 360 with Anderson Cooper, Hardball, Countdown, The Verdi....oh yeah, nobody watched that one, and faux news. As of just a few week ago they had raised a total of $50,000. With a $2,500 per donor cap, that could have been as few as 20 ($2,500) donors or 50,000 ($1) donors. Meanwhile Barack raised over $50 million while Hillary owed as much as $24 million in the same time period.

The Golden rule--he who raises the gold makes the rules. Hillary couldn't do it, even if she had the votes. Open your eyes. Carville knows that he's been shut out of a potential income stream if Obama becomes president. Hell if I backed the wrong horse in the race I'd wear Pumas too. In an Obama presidency he's nothing. In Hillary's presidency his pockets and calendar would have been full. Now he's on the utside looking in and I'm sure that does not sit well. Andoh by the way, Carville is no more Democrat than his wife is republican. They are both nothing more than capatalists and opportunists.

uuummm, If he's off camera - how the hell did you get that photo? Amazing!

[Justsaynodeal]

This is such a stretch, such a phony title to make a story..........Grow up kids! Puma's were tennis shoes long before this campaign............how childish of whomever posted this story.

[petecook5]

these people need to wipe the sand out of their vajayjays and get on board.

[magnitude]

Why do we waste time on a worthless character like Carville, who sleeps with the enemy.

[lvdragonlady]

No one gives a flying **** what Carvelle says.

[vipersdad]

Carville
Gollum

Same person....

Have you ever seen both of them together at the same time?

Huh?
Have you?

[prpolk1]

I was thinking..........

Smigel from Lord Of The Rings......

I'm sure they are the same person.

[Ignorancedestroys]

Smigel=Gollum=Carville.

Equation solved.

[GeorgeKaplan]

So, Puma's all wear the same shoes? Do they have their own hand signs? As some point rational thinking should replace senseless revenge. There is no fine line between he candidates - it's a giant chasm. If you vote of ideas there is only one great choice... Obama.

[jeanrenoir]

There's more than hurt feelings and simple revenge involved here. The core of the PUMAs are rich Jewish Democratic neocons, the ones who taught Hillary to warn Iran on TV that she would "obliterate" it for Israel if necessary. These neocon Dems are as fanatical for a basically Likud agenda for Israel as the Republican neocons who gave us the proxy war for Israel in Iraq, and can now hardly wait to "obliterate" Iran for Israel for dessert. Thank God for all the liberal American Jews of goodwill, like George Kaplan, who are still fighting the good fight of Jewish humanitarian tradition and support Obama. For the Democratic neocons, as for the Republican ones, American politics is now an exercise in Jewish jihad, if you'll forgive the expression. Since their fantasy is that they are totally focused on "saving" Israel, virtually anything at all (certainly the most egregious smears and lies which would have made McCarthy blush) is justified in pursuit of this goal. Wiping out Obama is like a small version of assassinating Hitler for these people. Obviously, Obama is no enemy of Israel, but these people consider any American politician they don't control with their money "dangerous."

James Carville is a snake. Remember, it was his wife who published the Jerome Corsi Obama swift boat lies.

new voting Act sounds like a great idea. the votes were being counted that is why the Acclamation took place they were not pre-pared for calif $$big money state on the trail to the whithouse to say Pass and waive all of the 448 votes. i bet at least half would of been Hilary clinton and then the near 400 she had already would of kept her at about 1000 total and that is not what the Dems want shows divirity not UNITY a place in aine. LOL. So it was a Gimmick I believe the card were dealt a long time before the convention. maybe in 2004. they were askin barak to speak in 2004 and they had a vision then. So there is another party the Original democrat the Whigs! I am trying to get that back.

[magnitude]

Dude,
Do you not believe in punctuation marks? Or do you speak a different language?

[MilesTone]

Huh??? WTF are you saying? Divirity? Please write in English and not gibberish.

[pie8ter]

I could hardly follow your posting.....You have Bush syndrome.

Prescription: Start kinder garden ASAP.

[phoffman]

I wear Kangaroos - that right, KANGAROOS! They got a pocket, that's right...a Mother Fu^*ing pocket

[vipersdad]

LOL! I actually Laughed out Loud.

Very Funny - Kangaroos! I forgot about them. Almost forgot that Pumas still existed as well.

[mayflowerson]

The Circus....New mexico yiedls to illinois.. before doing so they went through a large spanish speaking speech then without merit yields for illinois to vote yet who earlier passed. Then....they immediately yield.
This a pre done set arrangement...if not seemed like I was watching a SCTV skit or a Routine that was put in place weeks or days before the climatic event.
Why.. Simple he was off by a few votes too many... it was like they had a back up plan b.
According to Al Sharpton this isnt a Race race or a minority against the Majority. then what is this?
The truth is in the numbers.
Before the Circus the Votes were...

1549 Obama
282 Clinton

hmmm was he going to be short?

He wouldnt have a solid win otherwise.
This is what sold me n the gimmick of the DNC... remember Ny was the Last State called roll call. And NJ was only state previous that was a landslide with corzine and a marvelous speech.
When Acclamation was granted the place gets nuts with Love train by the O'Jays being blasted throughout the convention ... ha ha ha ha
Listen to the Lyrics..
How fitting or a set stage for National televised distribution. song quotes are the Love train says:" next stop NY then New Jersey.. look at the State roll call list play off tell me. Am I wrong?
Coincidence or Gimmick?

[cjk002]

I think someone needs to adjust his tinfoil hat...

[Choicematters]

Let me help you with the math. There were over 4,000 delegate votes. He wouldn't have been short. There was a preagreement by the campaigns that they would halt the roll call mid-way through. The decision was obvious to do it with New York, her state.

Now do you get it?

The states were informed prior to or the day of, it doesn't matter. It was already announced about the agreement and the fact that there would even be a roll call.

Geesh!!

[Repub4Obama]

I was going to reply but now I see that you're the same poster that can't punctuate or spell correctly so I won't bother.

[mayflowerson]

gimmick DNC 2008
it all went nuts fand the brain starting thinking set up canidate...
Calif , illinois, passes no one says anything but about civil rights born leaders and revolutionist like harriet tubman, Martin luther and even mention of katrina and jimmy carter.
Are we not tired of this turning into a issue not about what matters Jobs, War, Health, Safety concerns... no They keep dragging democrats first this. dems first that. the great state of whatever state was and then proud born son blank who majority was a african american or someone or something that has nothing to do with the key issues. Massachussettes inline with another state that seemed to me a Battle ground state in fact they couldnt really decide cause these vtes were split almost dead even.
was only one state that had a few nice things to say and was not
kennedy. Ga carter.. was split was la as well. between these issues and the states that are still undecided in full. What can we say.
i think the fact that barack Had no real chance to sweep that the only way to put the undecided vote on the hot seat they had to Acclamate the Vote. Besides
Why are almost all the delegate speakers in the southern states colored? I have to say That the dems made it A Show for everyone and now the circus has begun.

[Pupadup4oBama]

I'm not quite sure you are speaking English.

[Choicematters]

Why are almost all the delegate speakers in the southern states colored? Colored??? What the hell is wrong with you? Many states shared the microphone between one or more people.

You've also just shown your age. Every convention I've ever watched always does the states introduction, as to what they're known for. It's the delegate that is granted the voting announcment's decision to decide how to recognize and introduce their state. Get over yourself and go back to school and talk to your English teacher. You owe them an apology for your sorry writing skills!!!

[pie8ter]

I struggled through your very first sentence....then I quit reading your post. You must be a PUMA. Your English vocabulary, punctuation and sentence structures are worser than Bush.

You have Bush Syndrome.

[vsign]

The roll call vote was a joke for the sake of unity. I feel my vote was not honored.

I want the Democratic Party to be democratic and honor my vote - or I want a new party which does count my vote honestly. I want a new Voting Rights Act where my vote counts - both in the primary election and the general election.

Yea PUMA's.

[bbrecht]

What planet have you been living on? As an activist and voter in the democratic party for more than 20 years I can say that most of the time my vote does not end up counting. It is part of living with the electoral system. Look that up. There are rules. It is a game. Your candidate lost, apparently, though
from what I've seen this week, she hasn't lost much-- she's gained a bright political future. She kicks butt. Time to move on.

[notthistime]

i suspect is was a joke bbrecht.

[Pupadup4oBama]

why do you care...you're just a rethug troll.
Oh that's right, 'cause your party SUCKS, so you'd rather be a democrat.

[kittyma]

This is really all about YOU, isn't it. If YOU don't get EXACTLY what you want, you are agin! You PUMA's would rather the Repubs win because somehow it would "serve Obama right". A repub victory will affect all people who are struggling to make ends meet, all people who may otherwise lose their homes due to illness, all women who can't bring another child into this world because it may kill them and leave their other children parentless, etc. It would affect Obama, Clinton, Kennedy, Biden, Kerry, least! Get with the program!

[magnitude]

Well, why don't you fight for your voting to be counted in November, knowing that Rethugs are planning on voter fraud AGAIN!
