This race and the media coverage is getting stupid!! Will somebody please end it now!!!

Carville is right, Richardson is a Judas. But who cares about his endorsement - he is a loser. Hillary is better off without him.
Go Hillary!

what a surprise from a clinton supporter u back someone who wants to unify the party and win your a "judas" amazing.

Carville really needs to chill. Richardson had the backbone to make what he considered the right choice, even if it meant hurting his friends. He's done what is in the best interests of the country, and I respect him for that.

Good for you Mr. Carville!!!!!

GO HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing wrong with being on a winning side and having further career aspirations. Sour grapes Carville?

Voters….. who represents AMERICA best?
Americans are awesome when we are united!
Obama/Edwards08 Si Se Puede

I LOVE the Rajin' Cajin. Corporal Cue Ball, etc.

But what does "I got one in the wheelhouse" mean?

Since when is telling the truth a political liability? I thought that stigma was reserved for lies, like when you say one thing to the public and another to Canadian officials anxious about NAFTA.

coming from a non dem, what is so wrong with what the carville said. Not that Richardson is a bad person, but what he did was pretty shady, and being in the public eye like that Richardson cant complain when people talk about his decisions.

This is typical of Clintonites. They can be repelled however, when confronted with facts. CNN should report on Sen. Clinton's experience as it pertains to Bosnia, NAFTA, and the Irish peace talks. In short, she lied. Try reporting that.

Billary Clinton is a Judas for throwing their base under the bus.

This guy must be insane if he thinks Hillary is Jesus.

James Carvile only knows how to attack on a personal basis to try to tear down his "opponents". He should be barred from public comments. We don't need his type of destructive , personal comments.

Wow! This is so very much why we can't elect Hillary.
We really don't need anymore people with this kind of an attitude involved in our government.
This "old school politics" of nastiness has really outlived its uselfullness.

James Carville is profound in comparing Governor Richardson to Judas. He is forthright, honest, and I agree that Governor Richardson is not thinking in the best interest of the Democratic party if he chooses to support Obama…….and let us be honest here, what about all the degrading comments being made by the Obama campaign staff……it is necessary to hear any comments whatsoever regarding Monica's blue dress? Shame on Obama and his entire campaign staff

He is not the only one that was outraged. Richardson insulted the Hispanic (Mexican-American) community, not only in his state,but also my home state of Texas by betraying the Clinton's. Bill Clinton
made the man what he is today and for him to betray that trust is not only disgusting but insulting to his constituents who voted 2-1 for Hillary. If Barak and his advisor think that we are going to vote for him because a half Hispanic is now on board, they are absolutely mistaken. We will vote for McCain if HIllary is not the candidate in November.

This is the type person Hillary considers a friend. It is scary the depth of depravity these people will stoop to win the White House. And yet, they can't release their tax returns on April 15 like they said. These people can not be trusted with the truth, much less the White House.

Richardson must have been paid off like the numerous superdelegates that Obama has been getting lots of money from. However Richardson decided to join Obama after taking money only after the Texas primary not before as Obama had planned.

Obama will buy this presidency and use even his own family members for his political cause.

Obama does all this and we are not even in the general election yet? Imagine what he will deal away as president.

YOU WERE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT WITH YOUR ANALYSIS JAMES CARVILLE.

YOU STATED WHAT ALL CLINTON SUPPORTERS WERE THINKING AND WE ALL FELT THE BETRAYAL..

IF BILL (JUDAS) RICHARDSON TRULY FELT THAT WAY ABOUT HILLARY R. CLINTON HE COULD HAVE CHANGED HE SUPPORT WHEN THE SUPERDELEGATES GET TO VOTE.

HE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED AS THE JUDAS, BUT JUST AS JUSAS WAS A BETRAYAL THE ONE JESUS BETRAYED RAISED ABOVE THE FACT.
AND H.R. CLINTON WILL ALSO RISE ABOVE THE BETRAYAL AND BECOME THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THIS GREAT COUNTRY

GOD BLESS AMERICA, NOT GOD DAM AMERICA

Uhh CNN, time to drop Carville. As much as most people like him, he should be ashamed of himself for comparing Hillary to Jesus.

I'am really disappointed that we keep hearing about Monica. That relationship where wrong is between him and Mrs. Clinton. I don't think anyone has questioned Obama's patriotism. Again, I think this is an Obama fan who doesn't really know Obama either making allegations against her. Obama fans are too rapped up in fighting.

Real mature!
What about the Clintons and Peter Paul?

….and Senator Clinton keeps saying that her people aren't mean-spirited.

??? so gov. richardson was appointed by bill clinton not based upon his merits but because bill would need to cash in on a favor later? haven't we spent the last 8 years dealing with this sort of thing? hhhmm, a judas because you want (what you feel) is best for dems…give me a break!

i agree with him a man like richardson jumped in to tfeather his own nest so much for following the wishes of your state. Obama talks the talk but he doesnt walk the walk I say it time to give Obama the knockout punch and vote clinton

That's OK Carville,

Billy Boy was a lousy Commander in Chief in the eyes of the service men and women, and his wife will continue that trend - remember he said that he loathed the military.

I was on active duty throughout Bill's tenure, and I will still be on active duty after the next innauguration. I can't wait to see what Hillary does to exploit me this time around.

Remember, Judas helped kill a man - isn't that the type of political rumor that followed the last Clinton administration?

SHAME ON YOU RICHARDSON!!

HILLARY 08

good work, Mr. Carville.

Hey, turnip head, the politics of old do not work any more, although it almost looked like it did last week.

Mark my words, Hillary just lost a lot of the latino vote.

Good job turnip head.

Moron.

YEAH IT WAS A SILLY ANALOGY BUT IT WAS *TRUE*

Bill Richardson betrayed him.
Richardson is entitled to his own opinion, yes, but he knows it was betraryal so if he were strong enough to make the endorsement, then he shouldn't be whining about the critism.

ONE THING IS FOR SURE - I AM A LATINO VOTER AND I WILL NOT, NO WILL NOT FOLLOW RICHARDSON .

Latinos 4 Hillary !

Carville you have my full support. This "Judas Richardson" is only trying to position himself to be "something".

James Carville is an idiot

I Agree james ! Im a Latino and me and my mom and sisters and brothers feel the same way ! and we will not support obama and thats that!!!!! and we are catholics and are still bothered by a man who would listen to stuff as he did!!

Says a lot when a close Clinton friend and former cabinet member Richardson endorses Obama…but says even more when the Clinton camp cries "traitor" after the fact.

And is it me, or does Carville sound like Karl Rove here??

Come on James. I have tremendous respect for your views and skills but this comment is terrible. Comparing Governor Richardson who is competent and well respected to Judas because he is endorsing Obama sounds like an intimidation tactic to other super delegates who are going to endorse Senator Obama. This is the Clinton strategy-place fear in your friends. James you are aware of this strategy.

Hats off to Governor Richardson for moving beyond the control of the Clintons and shame on you James for entering in this kind of non-sense.

I used to have much respect for Carville. We all know Richardson is a good man, and there is no need for the hatred toward him for not doing as the Clintons wanted him to do. What is wrong with voting for the person he believes is best for the job? If he went against his on beliefs for "loyalty", wouldn't that be the same as we have had in the Bush admin. I am so disappointedd in James Carville.

What about common sense in this election?

Keep it going Carville, you must be a agent of Senator Obama, if you are you are doing one whale of a job!

should I post on this or what? After the name calling, the sermon comment, the fighting, the girly talk, we still have a war going on, people are still loosing their homes, people are still loosing their jobs.

Carville looks like Red Foreman from that 70's show.

Wow! this got on fast! I just watched this live. Wolf, you tried about 200 ways to get him to say what you wanted. James being James he said it straight. Too bad we can't see in print something more like what the actual interview was. Also sad is the Wolf saying every few minutes a negative spin on what Caraville had to say.
He came on good-humored & was bullied. He refused to trashtalk Richardson. To his credit.
I don't think too many people have all that high an opinion of Bill Richardson. My last recall with him was with the Alberto Gonzales scandal & how he gave him extra time because Gonzales was a Hispanic too. Where's THAT story?!

Good thing for you James! You have the right to say in this democratic nation! I support you with your stand, Richardson's endorsement did not only betrayed the CLINTONS but also the Latino community in New Mexico where HILLARY won, the Latinos in CA, AZ, TX, FL as well. If he wants to have a united Democratic party this August he would have shut up and remained uncommitted until the convention!

Now, Obama's people cannot argue that superdelegates should reflect the voice of their constituencies since his superdelegates are breaking the rule, Kerry & Kennedy should votre for HILLARY since she won MA by 13 points, Neopolitano of AZ should also vote for HILLARY since she won AZ by wide margin! ALL OF THESE SUPERDELEGATES are HYPOCRITES! Good for you guys, your careers are done and you're stucked with an amateur candidate who will never win the election!

CLINTON/EDWARDS FOR 2008!

Unbelievable! You gave me a job 20 years ago, and now I owe you my life - get real. Times change, people change. How dare you compare Hillary to my Lord and Savior and Richardson to Judas.

Richarson worked for BILL Clinton. He owes Hillary nothing. When are people going to stop pretending they are the same person?

Mr. Carville is right about the impact of Gov. Richardson choosing not to support a friend. I wonder what is promised to some of these Clinton supporters that support Obama. It is his choice who he supports however self-motivated it looks.

Shameful. Clinton slams Obama over what one of his supporters say. Obama cannot control what his supporters say, especially those who are not even involved in his campaign. Then one of Clinton's advisors on her campaign makes this statement. (note the difference, this person is on clinton's campaign and the other comment came from a mere obama supporter)

In the end, I wish the candidates would not have to be responsible for what supports say, and less for what their campaign advisors say. Candidates should not have to constantly defend themselves from comments they did not make, and candidates should stop attacking each other for what they did not say!

Bill Richardson was not only wrong in making this decision at this time, it was against everything that he preached about in the past and against the will of his State… That does in fact make him a traitor to the State of New Mexico!!!
He has one thing on his mind and that is a job…
Selfish… Now he is running around saying he did it for unity and Obama is the "one"… Honestly man, if Senator Obama gets the Democratic nod, only HALF of the party has been supporting him and 36% (by poll) of Senator Clinton's supporters will go to the Republicans…
Obama is not ready to Govern our Nation and neither was Richardson.

If Bill is Judas of Clinton then Judas of democratic party is Hillary Clinton. She has ruined the party.

Hillary/Sinbad '08 : Experience to lead from day one.

Would Governor Richardson be just another Congressman without the Clintons? Maybe.

Was this over the top? Probably.

Just keep in mind that James Carville is not noted for his apologies and that Richardson is the one who has emphasized his "loyalty" to the Clintons.

Love him or hate him, Carville really is a straight talker who tells it like it is! Wonder what kinds of things Richardson was saying in private to Hillary before he turned around and did this…

Carville put it perfectly, considering Richardson's close relationship with the Clintons and the fact the Clinton won his state.

Its obvious from the timing of the endorsement that Richardson's only reason for endorsing Obama is because he is winning. He waited long enough to be fairly sure he was endorsing a winner, but soon enough so that he can claim he had an effect when 2012 rolls along.

Gov. Richardson had a difficult task. He wanted to end a rather bad
week for Obama on a high note with his endorsement. Unfortunately
it was Good Friday which " set up " the slam by Carville. It is more
amusing than significant. Richardson should have thought of it
and waited until today to announce his endorsement.

How typical of the Clinton campaign to compare her to Jesus.

I would think that he betrayed the Clintons. It blows my mind with all the stuff that has come out on Obama that any person in their right mind would support him at this point. It also shocks me since his state went for Clinton and I could care less if it was by a hair, she won the states. If you ask his state now, more would say they wished they would have voted for someone else since his true beliefs have been shown. He was always for Obama just playing the game, and he thought it would help if he came out in his lowest point to give his support and it did, but Im sure he lost some of his supporters in New Mexico. WHAT OBAMA OFFERED HIM THE VP. STILL WOULD NOT VOTE FOR THEM.

Shame on you James Carville, shame on you.

You and that Republican wife of yours deserve each other!

So every person who ever got a job from Bill Clinton has some sort of moral obligation to support him and his wife forever?

Even if they strongly are against her vote to authorize the Iraq war? Even if they are disturbed by the Clintons proven dishonesty?

All of you in politics are supposed to be loyal to only one thing- the American people.

The desired effect…a petty, constantly angry man trying to destroy a man who served at the United Nations, as Secretary of Energy and in peace negotiations? What has Carvelle done except by the Karl Rove of the Clinton machine!!

I listened to both Gov. Richardson and Senator Hart and was struck with their ability to state their cases without anger or rancor; too many Clinton supporters are angry, talk over others and are plain rude!

wow….. what arrogance

Pathetic.
Anyway since when has Hillary been compared to Jesus? she is nearly as Judas as Lieberman to the Democratic Party, destroying it slowly from the inside.

Bill Richardson the same as Judas? Hillary Clinton is not Jesus!!!!!!!!! This stuff is getting so out of control.

Hillary, go home, you're killing the democratic party.

Obama '08

Carville's attitude is the perfect example of what is wrong with Clintonian politics: it's always about winning the game and never about the good of the country. If Gov. Richardson isn't going to back Hillary Clinton, then the response is to try to pull him down to the gutter. Apparently that's where James Carville is most comfortable.

Whatever, I think its cool that Richardson endorses Obama, therefore the fight that Obama will have on the convention floor that Superdelegates go with the popular vote is null-in void. New Mexico went to Hillary and their governor went for Obama. Either Obama refuses the endorsement or don't use that argument at the convention!

About time someone stood behind their comments and not apologize for getting to the point. I don't like Carville, but this is at least respectable.

"I got one in the wheelhouse and I tagged him."

Well, he got what he wanted. He stirred up some controversy to get Clintons name in the paper. And also the try and get some negative press about Richardson because they cant allow his endorsement to be a good thing. Ive come to realize that the candidates dont really speak for themselves anymore. Now we are choosing a candidate based on gossip from their people. When the candidates have something to say about the issues, I will pay full attention because what they decide will either change my future for the better or worse. But when these so called "Spokesmen" or "Advisors" say anything, and I mean ANYTHING, I will change the channel because after this election, nobody will even remember their name let alone what nonsense they spew from their mouths.

It is sad to see what kind of "pundits" CNN is having on the payroll. Does Hillary Clinton really believe she has a guarantee (chartered right) on the presidency? Mr. Carville is as outdated as Hillary Clinton and the only attribute sticking on everybody related to her campaign is SORE LOOSERS.

Richardson appears to be putting his country ahead of his friendship which, in my opinion is very hard to do. This action has earned my respect in an age when a "friend's and family" administration is in the Whitehouse.

Carville's big shot attitude is outrageous. Would Carville happen
to be a friend of Rush Limbaugh. If not, Carville should join the
Rush L. show. Birds of a feather…………………………………………….

OBAMA/EDWARDS and no one else will do.

Why did Richardson stay in the race til Super Tuesday? He knew he wasn't going to win the nomination, he was way behind in polls and delegates. Why? Because he wanted the voters to be heard, even the 1% that voted for him in his own state of New Mexico. If we use his own argument that the super delegates should support the will of their constituency, he should have supported Hillary. But he didn't. That is precisely what the other super delegates should do, even if Obama is ahead in June, they should use their independent judgment to decide the nominee.

I personally don't think it was Obama's speech that swayed him, I think it was jealousy. Jealousy against Hillary for taking away his home State.

Very rarely do we get straight talk from people in the know. Kudos to you Carville for telling it like it is.

I love James Carville. He says what he thinks and is usually right. It's about time this country wakes up from the coma that Obama has put us in and if Carville is going to be the defibrillator than so be it!!
Hillary 08, the only rational choice!!

And this from a man that accuses the Obama camp of being negative and saying things about the Clinton camp that is not true. This is also the man that it is Obama's fault that Florida and Michigan will not revote. Yes, does Mr Carville really think Americans are stuid? If any one is following the news, they know that this is the fault of the Florida and Michigan leadership. The problem is Sen Clinton knowingly voted for and accepted the DNC position on Florida and Michigan, and the voting process. She even stated in Iowa that Florida and Michigan was not going to count. MR Carville, the reason Michigan is not voting is because the elected state leadership stated "We are not comfortable with the fact that this election is being sponsored by Clinton Supporters" and refused to vote on it. Ahhhh, yes MR Carville, I spend 4 hours each day reading and listening to the news and am quite well informed. So give it up. Your just as bad as the Clinton camp, ahhhhhh oh yes I forgot you are part of the Clinton camp, ( a supporter).

This is what happens when the supposed crowning inauguration does not go as planned for the so called queen in waiting.

Who needs enemies when you have friends like James Carville? He represents the true face of Hillary Clinton's campaign. They believe that Hillary Clinton is entitled to presidency and that all those who worked in Bill Clinton's administration need to remain loyal to the King. This is precisely the reason Hillary needs to be defeated to stop Bush and Clinton monarchies. Hillary thinks the same way and that's why people who did not endorse her had a difficult time talking to her. That's why she comes across as ice queen! Once in a while she comes with a fake smile or laugh or tears and her surrogates start shouting - "THIS IS THE REAL HILLARY!!!!!" You can fake something once in a while not on a continuous basis. It's time to vote for a real and genuine person.

So this is one of the folks that really needs to grow up. Clinton camp isnt getting it they are making themselves look bad. Oh well keep up the good work guys.

Obama 08

I admire James Carville's straight-forward talk because that's what Richardson is. Though he served his two positions in the Clinton years well, there is no doubt that Bill Clinton was the person gave him those chances that propelled him to the national limelight and eventually the governorship of NM. Thanks James for setting that man straight!!!!

Carville is doing what so many in the media does all so well. They put out notions that will ultimately play in the minds of the people watching. The American people must hold the canidates accountable only for what we actually here them say or do, (not their surrogate or supporters). Carville and many of Sen. Clinton's supporters are hurt over Gov. Richardson's endorsemet of Sen. Obama because it is a huge statment to the credibility of Sen. Obama to lead this nation over that of Sen. Clinton's. Instead of focusing on the issues of this nation and doing what they need to help prove Sen. Clinton's capability, they attack those who exercise their right to choose whom they want to lead. It is distasteful of Carville and a sad day when he attacks one man's freedom to make his own choice for the nomination.

Mary C.
Hattiesburg, MS

The personal attacks never seem to end, do they? So, if they are all doing it, can I be a hypocrite too?!?! Alright then, here I got one:

Stop name calling! Oh, by the way. Homeboy looks like an alien… I look at Carville and hear the theme to X-Files.

OBAMAHILLARYMCCAIN '08!!!
YES WE CAN, WILL, AND FORGOT!!!

"One in the wheelhouse and I tagged him" ??

What does that even mean? I don't get it. I guess Carville is a big old hater.

God bless Carville. He is right once again. Why is it people who have been helped by others seem to stab that person in the back. That is the problem with the USA, people are just not loyal. If they see another boat that would help them out more they will screw everyone else over.

I agree with James Carville's Juda comment about Bill Richardson .
George Washington had Benedict Arnold.
Bill and Hillary Clinton have Bill Richardson

Carville is a jerk, Like the Clintons he will do or say anything to get back into the White House, He wants to be press secretary.

Without the Clintons he is going nowhere. I know I am not in his followers.

Obama will show them where it's at.

It will be ironic when Senator Obama loses (either the nomination and/or the general election) and Bill Richardson loses his re-election for Governership in New Mexico. The people have already spoken in that State.

Bill Richardson is a sell out, and his political career is over. Can he really sleep at night??

Carville is right. Richardson betrayed a friend. He did his endorsement in a way to build himself up and push the insult in the face of a friend. What is the saying: With friends like these, who need enemies.

Carville said what many Hillary supporters believe. Richardson was out of a job when Bill Clinton appointed him. Each time he had lost an election. What a jerk.

The clinton's sure can dish it out , but they can't take it. !!!

If Hillary is so electable …… why isn't she winning

She is no longer running on her own merit.

The only time she seems to do well is when she is ripping Obama apart

This is not an honorable way to be elected .

Why is it hard for clinton supporters to respect Richardson's decision. He cares about the clintons, but says clearly, " must do whats right for the country".

hillary is no jesus

my enemy friend is my enemy huh no latino vote left so they dont matter anymore …

i was for hillary no more i went and voted for her in friged temp no thanks we from red states we dont matter??????

obama 08

Another inflammatory, anti-semitic comment by the Reverend Carville !

I once had respect for James Carville. So if you don't endorse Hillary you are a traitor? I thought in a democracy you had the right to vote for/endorse who you wanted to. I know that all of the 13 plus million that have voted for Hillary Clinton have that right. Why doesn't Bill Richardson have that right ??????

Carville is a cartoon charachter. Unlike Bill Richardson, he is a Clinton lap dog. The Clinton campaign is getting more pathetic by the day. Hillary married into politics, the Whitehouse, the Senate and now is trying to claim the Presidecy as yet another Clinton entitlement.

For those who don't know much, James Carville is not only opinionated, he is also a strong proponent of loyalty - he even wrote a book about it. I am also a strong proponent of loyalty, but I am not changing my mind about Bill Richardson just because he betrayed the Clintons in a craven attempt to advance himself. My opinion of this monumental loser and sycophant was already low enough to cover this sell-out.

Wow! Is America turning into, or has already turned into, a banana republic where "loyalty" to the Queen/King is more important than anything else?? And why the heck is Carville so mad??

Also, I thought that this was not that important for Clinton? So, why is Carville barking so loudly??

Finally - is not being close to Carville a negative or a positive??

I find it funny that when Richardson was a candidate, all he did was talk about the need for experience to bring about change. Now, the requirement is inspiration?

Also, it's funny that Obama's campaign thinks superdelegates should go with what there states say. Then why haven't Kerry, Kennedy, Patrick , Napolitano and Richardson support the will of their people and switch to Hillary?

I watched the interview. Good for Carville. If Richardson wanted to endorse Obama, he should have done it long ago or just waited until the Primaries were over. President Clinton did give him a job, twice. It looks like Richardson is an opportunist. Besides, Hillary Clinton won New Mexico - so much for super delegates voting for the candidate that won. I just wish we can let the voters vote and wait to see how close these two candidates finally get. It will be up to the super delegates but you do have to wait until the votes are cast. Obama doesn't have the magic number either.

The portrayal in the media by CNN, MSNBC, Fox and others is no different than the partisan politics on the Hill. It's worse because the media is playing out this hypocrisy right in front of our eyes. In fact , I equate the media like the paparazzi who are tormentors looking for a way to find fault with everything. The media is very quick to drag down any candidate that they don't support. Too bad, because based on the blogs, this nation is very divided. Keep it media - you should be proud.

Correction: James Carville JUDAS comment about Bill Richardson.
I fully agree on the metaphor.

Carville would not back down his smear remarks just like Ferraro's attitude! It is such a shame for Carville to make such an outrageously stupid statement. I will just change channel next time if he ever shows up on TV.

Is this part of the Clintons strategy to intimidate other super delegates for supporting Obama?

Carville is just mad that his candidate is losing…

I dont know why anybody would want to be around a camp that talks so bad about someone who they were courting for so long to endorse them.. that's a shame how Hillary supporters are.

OBAMA 08!

It seems Mr. Carville knows the bible. It's too bad he doesn't follow the lord's teachings

i think the whole thing of picking on petty stuupid stuff like those is silly as obama normally puts… grow up

Carville knows the game is over for the Clintons. Blind loyalty does not benefit our country or the democratic party. The Clintons' dirty tricks are turning a lot of people off including superdelegates.

James your commet was "right on". I thought the same thing when I heard that he was coming out in support of Obama. What has happened to loyalty? I guess it's just a game of "what have you done for me lately".
Richardson made the commmet that it shouldn't be Bush then Clinton then Bush then Clinton….that it's time for change. Souldn't your vote go to the person you think can do the job?
And besides that unlike the 2nd Bush the 2nd Clinton is smart, cares about this country and thinks for herself. She will get us out of war, not lead us into it.

Hillary 08

Mr. Carville,

Are you then comparing the Clintons to Jesus? You may think your comment was a "wheelhouse", but I think it belongs in the "outhouse".

Why is it that if campaigns last long enough more commentators and politicians end up in the gutter or promoting these kind of comments?

C

Governor Richardson is no Judas and Clinton is by no stretch of the imagination in the same league as Jesus. Carville's comment was offensive on several levels.
Governor Richardson's decision to endorse Obama was a courageous one and worthy of respect. Simply put, he endorsed the better candidate.

Obama 2008

. . .Clinton's team basically told Gov. Richardson that after Texas , the Hispanic voters were not needed anymore. He probably has first hand
knowledge of how the Clintons use people, then casts them aside.
Its Pennsylvania 's turn now. Time to appeal to the voters that govenor
Rangell said "are not ready to vote for an african american". I guess
that's the reason for the current race baiting. I believe Gov. Richardson when he said that those are the people that Clinton surrounds herself with. I used to respect James Carville.

Typical Carville gutter tactic. I've quickly lost what little respect I had for him and his tactics. Time for CNN to send a message and dump him as well.

James you are right in your views.
Does anyone really know what Loyal means?

" Defination of Loyal (OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY)"

"""faithful and true to allegiance"""
you MR. Richardson are a Traitor to your Convictions and you are not worthy of your position
step down now and save your Honor before it is too late.

Carville has a skewed sense of betrayal. Just because a person is a close friend of the Clintons doesn't mean he or she must believe that Hillary is the best candidate.

Richardson is a Judas. Sold his soul to hopefully become Obama's running mate. Too bad neither's desires will be fullfilled.

I might have know wathching CNN who owns this communist rag, CNN. TED TURNER. He's the one who married one of the biggest supporters of Communism in the United State, JANE FONDA. NAM VETS remember her antics in the Nam giving up our prisoner's names. She is a traitor, Ted Turner is an OBAMA supporter and also a traitor. Now I guess you get your drift where CNN is going with their Newscasting.

Jack Cafferety is so biased he hurts. He hates the Clintons because Bill put the drunken soul in his place. I hope you sleep well, J… A..! If he should make President get prepared for you networks CNN, Time Warner, TB, TNN, MSNBC, HBO, Etc to go down the drain. I for one will not watch any of your shows again.

He's a Judas for not supporting his friend, but supporting the person he feels is the correct person for the job?

If Obama paid him to move sides, then sure, he'd be a Judas. But to chastize an American citizen for supporting their candidate of choice instead of a friend? Supporting the person you think is right and not your friend, regardless of who it is, is not "being a Judas." It's being intelligent.

Good grief, talk about sore losers. Obama has gotten people invloved in the election process, like myself, who otherwise would not have voted. That is admirable. Can't Richardson like that brand politics better and still be friends with the Clintons? I am sure it might have stung Hillary a bit, but this is business politics.

Moreover, Carville needs to get out of the beltway more often. Out here in the real world people who don't agree politically can get along as friends. Yes, even so far as democrats marrying republicans.

"Clinton stresses party unity in Pennsylvania"
Really?

I recall Carville saying Hillary needed to win both Ohio and Texas big in order to continue. Well she didn't even win Texas so by Carville's own terms the Clintons have lost. Maybe Richardson wanted to be part of positive team and not one that can't recognize when it's lost and is hurting the party as a whole.

Has anyone commented that what is truly offensive in Carville's comment, aside from implying a parallel to presidential politics and life-and–death, is that it makes Hillary parallel to . . . Jesus? Is this what the campaign really thinks?

Amen, Carville! I wonder how the Latinos Richardson represents feel about him now. The majority of Latinos support Hillary, why would Richardson go against their vote? And he walked on his own words about the Super Delegates. He is a Judas and will probably not get re elected. My opinion of him has sure changed, he is what most people flush down the toilet.

That's it. Will the super-delegates step in now. The media is just lapping this up and would love nothing more than for this fighting to continue until both candidates are bloodied. If the democrats want to win in November then the super-delegates had better grow a spine and stop this insanity NOW.

I have never been so disgusted in my life.

When (not if) will she drop out?

Wow, this should show everyone what both Obama and Clinton are like. Both are running "slime" campaigns and should be recognized for doing so.

So far, the cleanest candidate to date has been John McCain. I was pretty much undecided until the Rev. Wright thing came out. I now know who I will be voting for and it's not a Dem!

I loved Bill Richardson until now.

but if he can not see the ruthlessness of Obama, cleverly disguised under a veneer of calm, he is not very astute.

Richardson should know better than to endorse Obama given Obama's constant personal attacks on BOTH Clintons.

Why don't they all just let the voters decide- and actually COUNT all the votes. Instead, Howard Dean, the DNC, the Democratic Elite, the Media, African American pundits all try to force Obama down our throats. We will spit him out, now or later.

I think that they want to install Obama as the nominee, and now have too much invested in that effort to be able to turn back.

Without all the illegality, Hillary would be WAY ahead and be the nominee by now.

I say Hillary is the BEST for the country and the only one able to heal the wounds that Obama has created.

Carville is the Karl Rove of the Clinton machine. Pay him no heed.

Mr. Carville, since Richardson spent his first 13 yrs in Mexico City I think He has alot in commen with Obama who spent most of his first 10 yrs in a Muslim Country. As you can guess opinions of America and White People were probably made before these children ever made it back to the US. Change? What kind? More help for Muslim people and more help for illeagals is what I see. Morality! I'm a Red Blooded American who loves this country, the flag for which it stands, and I pray for the young people who are in a war which should have never been. I have no Idea how Bush sleeps at night!
You are right Richardson is a backstabber and a Judice! We need Clinton-08 Roy-Idaho

So Carville is all about "effect" - not surprising. I wonder how he manages to sleep at night. - do snakes sleep?

Carville calls it for what it is; Richardson is out for himself. He shows no character pandering for VP or some other position.

Governor Richardson does not understand what the word loyalty means. He owes his whole career to the Clintons.

However, hypocrites flock together. He is welcome to go down with Senator Obama. We don't need a divisive president whose wife and minister degrade our country. Obama is not fit to lead our country.

I applaud James Carvill for his courage on his statement on Gov. Richardson.. The facts are what they are; his friendship is certainly a shallow one and I suppose he is looking to being VP on the ticket.

If Governor Richardson was interested in bringing the Democratic party together, he should have stayed neutral.

I too believe he betrayed the Clinton's. He showed his true colors.

Good for Carville!!! I'm from Iowa and I think it is dispicable what Fischer had to say about the blue dress. Obama is no saint and all his skeletons are starting to come out of the closet. Its ok to talk of your grandmother being the typical white person, listen to an unpatriotic pastor say the things he did, his unpatriotic wife, and on & on & on. His day will come!!!!!!!

Is he serious what kind of argument is that? How do you defend yourself from such stupid comments. And once again these comments are seen as appropriate by the Clinton camp. Meanwhile, Obama has to go around denoucing everything in the book. Can anyone say unfair? Please get back to the issues, its like we're dealing with children, the stories get more dumb each day.

"Got one in the wheelhouse and I tagged him" This today's best example of why Hillary has got to go - it is pitch-perfect snipery as practiced by the people she surrounds herself with. Scorched-earth blood-sport scratching and clawing for any advantage whatsoever - real or perceived. All you Hillary supporters - can you honestly say she has ever inspired you for even a moment to be a better person or citizen? Do you really think her land deals, stock market windfalls, corporate toadying and resume padding were in service of some higher good? Every day it gets clearer and clearer she really will say or do anything to be elected, or have someone else say it so it doesn't stick to her. Monster? Too harsh a word, perhaps, but ask yourself - does she seek high office to give or to get?

Like his remark affected anyone other than him or the Clinton followers who salivate at any derogatory remarks the Clinton campaign are becomning known for.This poor little man has always been one of the worse decisions the Clintons ever made and it is his brand of politics they still employ today…which is much of the reason that Senator Clinton is losing the popular vote. I personally would like to be able to listen to him state anything without the uhh uhh uhh before he makes any comment. It's unbecomming and reminds one of an idiot savant.

By comparing Gov. Richardson to Judas, is he comparing Hillary to Jesus?!

Wasn't this guy in the movie "Old School"? He used to be so cool.

Of all times to compare someone to Judas, to do it over the Easter Weekend is inexcusable.

James Carville may be a political genius, but he's socially inept.

I agree with Richdson that Clintons are surrounded by partisan people who are vicious.

Clinton is not Jesus. Therefore, Richardson is not a "Judas."

I have always respected James Carville's political acumen, but in this case I think he is dead wrong. Governor Richardson has every right to choose who he wants to see President and in this case, he chose Senator Obama. The right choice, in my humble opinion. Come on, Carville, this isn't Russia. We still have that right, don't we!!!?
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE. NOW.

IS HILLARY GOING TO FORCE CARVILLE TO RESIGN FOR CALLING RICHARDSON "JUDAS" … PRETTY SOON WE WILL SEE THE REAL CANDIDATES BECAUSE THEY WILL BE ALL ALONE!

So Hilary wants unity, but can't get a handle on her team or even her own husband making divisive comments towards Obama.

No way we can trust a person that can't lead their team. She's got people running amuk for her all over the place. At least Obama gets his people to apologize after divisive remarks.

Face it peopl Hilary has not shown great leadership during this campaign.

Good grief! This lizard needs to keep his trap shut.

What does he now think that Clinton is Jesus-like and worthly of disciple-like devotion? I don't think so. Why is it not ok to vote based on racism, sexism or ageism but somehow OK vote based on Clinton favoritism. Does Carville think Richardson sold his soul and all future political decisions to Clinton for 2 appointments. Give me a break. Maybe Carville did, but I am sure other don't see a lifetime of bowing to the Clinton just exchange for anything. This sense of Clinton entitlement is worst than Rev. Wright's lunacy. Wright is a crazym bitter old man, what is Carville and Clinton's excuse for this insane reasoning. Wait, they 2 are crazy bitter old men? Guess this is the year for crazy bitter old men who support presidential candidates.

James Carville's remarks are Ann Coulter-esque, in their vitriol. While former President Clinton appointed Gov. Richardson to two cabinet posts, Gov. Richardson returned the favor with his service. If someone decides to employ me, I'd hope it was because they wanted my services, and not because they expected me to make a faustian bargain.

If Carville's calculated venom is characteristic of the Clinton campaign, I am even further resolved to support Obama. After almost eight years of the Bush administration, we don't need any more thuggery in the White House.

Well said Carville. Good for you sir. I think that a lot of New Mexico residents feel the same way…betrayed.

My thoughts exactly.

You are a shame Mr Richardson to the Latino Community.

Have you not realized that we support Hillary all the Way, not because of any prejudice, but because we care about our nation. Hope this wrong choice of yours will bring your political careeer to an end.

Hillary for President

It's amazing how you can't choose who you feel is the right candidate for "you." Do you not think that Richardson served well under Bill Clinton and that was his job so therefore he paid him back. Should Richardson be indebted to Bill Clinton forever? No. Richardson, just like the rest of us have our own minds and we should feel free to make our own decisions. Anyway, Richardson served under Bill Clinton, not Hillary Clinton. He ran against Hillary Clinton before he dropped out.

Now, is Carville comparing Hillary to Jesus? Or Bill Clinton to Jesus? It is very painful to see so many adults behaving like kids. Just throwing temper tantrums, yelling, crying, etc. Get over it!!!

Thank you, Mr. Carville. You tell it like it is!

The real reason for Gov. Richardson's endorsement of Obama was to distract the Nation of Obama's racist pastor of 20 years. We know Gov. Richardson made a deal with the devil.

Way too go Mr. Carville . The truth does hurt when all this man did was vote for the party instead of voting for his own state results of who won in that race. Why not just hand the dreamer the ticket and let it run it's path. What's the matter Gov. Richardson, you don't trust the people with-in your own state. Hopefully they will remember how lousy you lead the people. What a disgrace. Wake up people, you need too make a good decision about who will bring this country into a prosperous future. Bill Clinton did it once and Hillary Clinton will do it again. Hopefully she will use better people this time than Judas ( Gov. Richardson ). Vote Hillary Clinton 08

I would like to thank James for his statement. I had supported Hillary in the past but I was having second thoughts. This was because Hillary keep trying to change the rules. After James statements I am changing to Obama. Is James telling us Hillary is Jesus? Obama was correct stating Hillary is the same old Washington. Thank you very much James.

The Clinton campaign can no longer play down these big endorsements. Richardson's support is so significant and painful to the Hillary camp that Carville blew a gasket and made a tactical mistake. Forget the fact that it was hyperbole and inappropriate, the statement gets played over and over allowing the endorsement to sink into voters consciousness and takes the Rev. Wright's looped remarks off the nightly news. Keep rajun' Mr. Cajun, it's an uncharacteristic gift to the Obama campaign–one that keeps on giving.

One of the things I so love about James Carville is his ability to call it as he sees it. Governor Richardson sold out. I've lost all respect for him.

CNN, You must have gotten a bundle of hate mail on Carville,
Because everything was erased. Carville is no good person.

OBAMA/EDWARDS 2008 or NO One. Democrats will not vote
for Liar Hillary.

Carville is a tool, a political one at that, that will sell his opinionated voice to the highest bidder.

Bill Richardson on the other hand works for the country and his siding with Obama took a lot of courage and leadership.

Since it is now a foregone conclusion that Hillary will not be the Democratic nominee, does this also mean we are done with Team Clinton's roving band of lackys?

I certainly hope that a Hillary loss will guarantee that we don't have to see another minute of Carville, Begala, Wolfson and especially Lanny Davis on our television screens.

This would be just precious.

amen

Maybe Gov, Richardson wants to be the new VIce-Pres or Sec of State it does fit his profile and ambition and OBama is happy to oblige the same old politics

Well, well! Does CNN now have censors protecting the Clintons?? Why was no one at CNN censoring the repeated showings of the Reverend's
video.

This is typical of the Clintons, and it belongs on the manure pile
with all the other stench. Such as Whitewater, Monica etc., etc.,

How does the DNC ever in this world allow her to be a canidate
for the highest office in this land, after all of that. I think it woul be a
damm shame to have the Clinton's stinking up th White House
again.

Jack Quinn

He is absolutely right about Richardson. He sold himself for VP port.

Man , Richardson is a loser

Thank you James Carville!
We witness again the reasoning that makes you tops in reading the "great middle of Pennsylvania that resembles Alabama 1808″.

Mr. Carville sounds like a typical racist just like Ferraro I like to call them undercover Republicans. I actually have more respect for the Rep., at least I know where they stand. I heard his interview with Wolf and what he said about Obama not wanting the votes in Florida and Michigan to count are not accurate. Obama wants the process to be fair and I can't imagine Hillary wanting any thing different if she was leading in the delegate race. What message are we sending to our children, the 'future voters of America'. I was raised that rules should be followed and the voters of these two states have no one to blame but the political members of their states who made the decision not to follow the rules and to hold their primaries early.

I think James is wright and I am disapointed that the govenor did this. I hoped he would be a v-P candident for Hillary but now we can forget that. I am also disapointed that the black race has turned their back on the Clintions

Pretty funny watching Carville stutter for an explanation to his words. He fits the mold of a typical Hillary supporter perfectly with one exception. He said he'd support Obama in the general if need be, I'd like to see that commitment from other supporters.

You have to love James if you are a democrat. He says what he thinks with flair. Most of us are very angry with Richardson and will not be near and dear to our hearts again. Betrayal is betrayal and he will have to live with his decision.

I agree with Carville and Obama is right we, typical white people, don't understand the excuses of black people. Lets blame the honkey for all our shortcommings. Lets blame them for our neighborhoods turning into slums. Lets blame them for all the unwed mothers who keep having more kids, to get more welfare. Lets blame them for getting high on drugs to avoid a daily job. Lets blame them for our inner schools being in such disrepair, never mind that we like to graffitti anything that doesn't move. Lets blame them for everything that has ever happened in our lives and our ancestors. Never mind we were sold by our own people. Lets just blame the whites, it's all their fault.

Objectively…it's the truth. Obama and Hillary supporters alike should be able to agree on that. I felt the same way when Kerry endorsed Obama over Edwards.

personally i think james is being to kind……..richardson goes which ever the way the wind blows i think that richardson has designs on political gains in the white house if sen obama is elected….would i call him judas ? it would be much worse….. mr richardson thinks that he is uniting the party ? i would suggest the opposite..

I love you James! You call it the way you see it with no apologies, and I for one will always be your biggest fan! I am sick and tired of the political correctness game, and everyone tip toeing around Barack Obama and his minions. Keep it up! You are truly a breath of fresh air!

GoodBye. So much for open dialogue!!

Bill Richardson is a sell out! What is it about Richardson's beard and darker skin? Is he trying to be more Latino? I am a Latina and I would not vote for him for any political position! He is a loser and his state voted for Hillary!

Carville sure is proud of himself for making such an absurd statement.

I know once I wish politics were always based on who owed who what, you know, something akin to the loyalty system. But then I remember that's what drove the Bush administration to pick ITS staff and cabinet positions. Who pulled the right favors?

Politics should be based on skill and talent. That's why Richardson endorsed Obama. Bill Richardson doesn't owe Bill Clinton squat.

If I'm not mistaken, Hillary Clinton, and not Bill Clinton, is running for president of the United States. Bill Richardson didn't serve in Hillary's cabinet.. why should he owe *her* his allegiance?

POS

I cant wait until thenext generation one day asks me who the funny looking bald man was.

Try and act like an adult next time jimbo

I was a big fan of James Carville until he shocked me with his recent statement comparing Bill Richardson to Judas. This election might, in the end, be decided by Superdelegates. That being the case, I do not want the Superdekegates to choose a candidate based on how many favors they have gotten from that candidate or whether or not they are buddies with the candidate. Personally, I see James Carville as more of a Judas as he is helping to destroy the Democratic party with this bloody campaigning.

I have usually enjoyed James Carville but his Judas statement about Gov Bill Richardson makes Carville the "Ann Coulter" of the Clinton campaign as far as credibility is concerned.

So by Carville's logic Bill Clinton is Jesus Christ. A creepy glimpse into the mind of a slavish Clinton follower.

Bill Richardson is very ungrateful. He would have been a nobody without the Clintons. He should have at least stayed out of endorsing anyone out of respect for what the Clintons have done for him.

Well, I have to admit, I wondered why the support has come so late in the race, unless we're waiting to side with the apparent winner for a possible spot as running mate.

Despite Richardson's objections that he really hadn't considered this, it still looks suspicious.

who cares about the mouth piece James Carville a staunch Clinton supporter! His opinion is irrelevant and another example of a so called high profile political commentator tearing down the democratic party!!!
Just because govenor Richardson worked for the Clintons in the
nineties does mean he owes them his life
He has also been a great govenor and has extensive foreign policy experience as an employee of the Clintons and a govenor
His record speaks for * itself * and he is his own person…he owes the Clintons nothing!!!
He has went o Africa and other places and spoke on behalf of captives
etc!!!
kudos to you governor Richardson for thinking and speaking for yourself!!!!

the real question is who he thinks Jesus is.

I think you can all answer that yourself.

Bill Richardson is a small man, and politically, small potatoes. His so called "endorsement" is also small potatoes. For anyone who doesn't think so, please review his support by the electorate (2%??). Is he a Judas? Who even cares?

Did Obama promise him something? I doubt it. Who would even want him on their ticket?

CNN is blowing this up, like they do ANYTHING that is even slightly anti-Clinton.

Bill Richardson, your 15 minutes were up a long time ago.

Goodbye, CNN.

I completly agree with Carville's remarks. Nothing wrong with telling it like it is.

Mo. Voter

Richardson as a super delegate/ governor/ politician could have endorsed Obama before the Texas and New Mexico primaries.
Why didn't he? He was just scouting for the longest coat tails.

HE's an E-Z Rider

The Clinton campaign regularly cites the prerogative of superdelegates (and even, pledged delegates directly elected by their districts) in supporting the candidate they choose. It is silly that, now that a superdelegate decides to exercise his independent will, it is likened to a betrayal on the level of Judas's. The double standard applied by this campaign at every (convenient) turn is disconcerting.

I watched James Carville and listened to the comment he made.
How stupid of him to refer to religion which many of us don't believe in and also he reaffirmed his comment on live TV.
The man scares me to death just watching him. His face resemble DEATH itself. I thought that Hillary said that the endorsement was insignificant? What a liar she is and I feel sorry for her and her cheating husband which she did not divorce and now is trying to get in the White House. What a bunch of losers!

Ok Judas betrayed Jesus and no clinton is close to being a Jesus. Carville is a jerk.

If Richardson is Judas, does that mean Hillary is Jeus Christ?

Richardson is clearly an opportunist. He was friends with the Clintons when it would benefit his career, and now he's jumping on the Obama bandwagon, because he really feels that Obama will be elected the democratic nominee. Richardson chooses now to side with Obama, and only recently finds him to be a great leader and inspirational speaker? This rules out the rationale for what the Obama morons have been using for the superdelegates. They DO NOT have to vote by consituents b/c they have none. If that were true, then Hillay Clinton should get Richardson's vote b/c she won New Mexico, no?

Good for Carville! Richardson thinks that he may have a chance of being the vice president for Obama because he is hispanic. Obama may win the battle but he is going to have a tougher time winning the war. Racism is alive and well in America and the republicans will use everything they have to defeat him. Obama is a crybaby and how will he take the beatdown we all know the right wingers will be giving him? Be careful what you wish for, democrats….

THIS SHOULD BE ALL OVER THE NEWS TONIGHT AND SHOULD BE IN A LOOP FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK.

HOW SAD MAYBE RICHARDSON WAS RIGHT , WHAT DO THE CLINTON HOLD OVER THESE PEOPLE HEAD TO KEEP THEM IN LINE.

HE SHOULD RESIGN HIS POST

If I see Carville on CNN, I will change the channel to MSNBC.

Clinton Supporters like me.

Lets Unite and Vote McCain if Obama is Dem Nominee.
I don't want to vote another G.W.Bush office.

Of course, someone with Carville's supreme intellect wouldn't get the difference between "irony" and "coincidence". Also, equating Bill-ary with Jesus is hardly a fitting analogy.

I have always liked James Carville and he has just shown why. He's a straight talker that can and will call a spade a spade. If anyone thinks Richardson, a marginal political figure without the Clintons, didn't trade his support for a position in the Obama administration, then I have property in Iraq to sell you. What part of Richardson's actions doesn't sound like Judas? Oh, and message to Bill Richardson: Lose the beard. It just makes you look biblical.

Thank you, James, for speaking what many of us wanted to say. I have ZERO respect for Richardson now. We're all supposed to be so happy about Obama's "loyalty" to Wright but it's okay for Richardson to stab the Clintons in the back
