Paul Begala is a prominent American political consultant, strategist, and television personality, best known for his role as a senior advisor to President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997. A member of the Democratic Party, he has been influential in shaping political discourse and strategy in the United States. Begala has also made a name for himself as a commentator on various news networks, where he provides insights on political issues and campaigns.
But, also, he's almost spent enough time in Iowa to pay property taxes there.
while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are sort of circling each other like two scorpions in a jar, it's John Edwards who the smart money is on particularly to win Iowa.
the story came out that Barack Obama's campaign was actually behind this negative attack on Hillary.
I think he is a viable candidate. I have no idea if he'll actually get in. I think he's very viable.
He has been the chief cheerleader for what most Americans -- two-thirds of us now -- think has been a disastrous war in Iraq.
That is such hog wash. That is such a load of garbage from a guy like Richard Lugar, who is a respected thinker on foreign affairs.
The key variable is not American will. It's Iraqi will. And the Iraqis have to decide if they want to have a country or if they want to have a civil war.
no military strategy will work unless we have a political strategy on the ground that will actually make these Iraqis want to come together in a multi-sectarian nation
