Carville says Georgia could be huge success if ‘idiot progressives’ don’t screw it up
Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday he feels good about the party’s prospects in Georgia, so long as progressives do not snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
While Carville has repeatedly predicted Democrats will do well in November’s midterm elections, he has also consistently warned that far-left progressive politics are simply not viable in the American electorate.
“Not only could we win the governorship, but listen to what I’m telling you, we might win the state house,” he said of Democratic chances in the Peach State during his “Politics War Room” podcast. “Georgia may be one of the biggest success stories of this century in terms of Democratic politics.”
However, Carville also offered caution: “Now, what they’re going to do, I’m going to tell you just what they did in Nevada, which was a great, great success story. The idiot progressives went in, and they took over the party.

“They’re trying to pull off the same stuff in Colorado because, well, we’re too successful. And watch out when we start winning in Georgia. You’re going to see the progressive left try to come in,” he warned.
Carville and co-host Al Hunt later talked about electoral situations where some left-leaning candidates are running as independents against Democratic rivals.
Hunt said if a Democratic candidate cannot viably defeat a Republican opponent, an independent candidate who actually can defeat the Republican should take the reins, provided the candidate supports Democratic policies.
“You want to win that seat. Whoever, whichever candidate is best suited to defeat the Republican candidate ought to get behind the other in the last — you know, whatever it is — 60 days,” he said.

Carville cited the documentary about himself, “Carville: Winning is Everything, Stupid!” and agreed with the pragmatic message.
“So, the title of the documentary made about me is a perfect encapsulation of my political philosophy, and it’s called, ‘Winning is Everything, Stupid.’ That is the purpose of politics is to win elections and to win elections that profoundly matter to people’s life,” Carville said.
He added that if a candidate has a chance to win as an independent but will caucus with the Democrats, they should go ahead and do it.
“If he has a better chance of winning than somebody that is running under the Democratic label, but who, in effect, has pledged that he would be part of the Democrat[s], why not do it?” Carville said. “You’re not here to build a stronger party. You’re not here to make a point. You’re not here to do anything. You’re here to win the god—- election.

“And if we got a better chance, if there’s a better chance with an independent who embraces most of the ideas and does not want to run with all the jacka– left-wing stupidity that’s put out, go cat, go, I’m for you,” he said. “Totally. Winning is everything!”
A massive fire broke out Saturday afternoon at a laboratory building on the University of South Florida campus in St. Petersburg, authorities said.
Campus police said fire crews were called to the Marine Science Laboratory building for a structure fire.
No injuries have been reported, and the building was safely evacuated, police said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Large plumes of gray smoke were seen rising from the building late Saturday.
According to the Tampa Bay Times, students and staff were alerted to the fire shortly before 6 p.m.
The school sent an alert reading: “Urgent Alert. Fire reported in MSL, Marine Science Lab. Evacuate building. Avoid area. Emergency personnel responding.”
St. Petersburg Fire Chief Michael Lewis said more than 60 units and about 200 firefighters responded to the scene.
Lewis said around 9 p.m. that the fire was largely extinguished but that the building is likely “a total loss.”
“The entire roof has burned off,” he said, according to the report.
USF police said it will provide additional updates as more information becomes available.

Cameraman gets caught risking it all to film World Cup’s ‘sexiest fan’ in the Formula 1 paddock
Sometimes we forget how hard it is to be a cameraman. You’ve got to focus on what you’re supposed to be shooting and block out all other distractions.
Of course, sometimes a little eye candy comes along and slips through the goalie, and that’s what happened to one cameraman — and you’ll see in a second why I’m fairly certain it was a cameraman — working in the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix paddock.
Hey, he’s only human.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON’T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
After Friday’s Sprint Qualifying session, UK broadcaster Sky Sports was doing some analysis with 2009 World Champion Jenson Button, former driver Naomi Schiff and presenter Simon Lazenby.
However, their coverage was somewhat interrupted when the cameraman got a little distracted by a certain paddock guest.
I bet a couple of husbands got dirty looks from the missus when they yelled, “Hey, that’s Ivana Knoll!”

That’s right, internet sleuths were quick to identify the 2018 World Cup’s “sexiest fan.”
Which is a heck of a title. Do you realize how many people were at that?!
The cameraman managed to get back on track, although it was probably good that one McLaren mechanic wasn’t handling any power tools when Knoll walked by.
That could’ve been disastrous.
I do think Knoll knew what she was doing. One does not stumble into the title of “sexiest fan.”
That’s not the kind of outfit you usually see in a busy paddock with tools and pieces of cars and big stacks of tires all over the place. But Knoll knew there would be cameras, and dammit, where there’s sports and cameras, there’s “World Cup sexiest fan” Ivana Knoll.
Maybe she’ll get a little more facetime at Sunday’s Grand Prix. It was announced on Saturday night that the race’s start time has been moved up three hours to 1 p.m. ET, in an attempt to avoid inclement weather later in the day.
