Democrats see the Missouri senate race slipping away, so they brought in James Carville to rescue their candidate. That may have been a mistake.
The Hill reports Carville’s contribution:
Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather have a rat for a senator than Rep. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.).
Carville sent out a fundraising e-mail for Missouri Senate candidate Robin Carnahan (D), in which he offered reasons for why Blunt is the wrong choice as the next Missouri senator.
“In my years working in politics, I’ve seen things that really made me angry, but the level of misdirection and the outright lies perpetrated by Congressman Blunt’s campaign and his fat cat buddies are enough to make me start spluttering,” said Carville.
He wrote: “If I had to pick either the rat or Congressman Blunt to represent me in the US Senate, I’d take the rat seven days a week and twice on Sunday.”
And since he’s a Democrat, he’d also have the rat vote several times on Tuesday.

Right out of the "What to Do When Losing" playbook - no specifics, just smears and vague slanders. How predictable, given the source.
Oh by rat I thought he meant Carnahan... my bad.
Carville would start spluttering anyway.....
Start? He's never stopped!
Yeah, old Carville's always going on and on about "His Precious" and how "Nasty Hobbits" stole it.
A guy who looks like a lizard (Carville) casting stones about rats. Robin looks transgender. Amazing.
I live in Missouri, I hate that we have to choose between Blunt and Carnahan. The only thing for me that makes pulling the lever easy for Blunt is the (D) after Carnahan's name. It's like McCain vs Obama all over again, only 6 years worth of crappy influence instead of 4. At least he'll be 1 of 100.
