Carville says Bill Clinton and Obama warming to each other
Longtime Clinton confidante James Carville told reporters Wednesday that the healing process between former President Bill Clinton and soon-to-be Democratic presidential nominee Bill Clinton “has accelerated.”
“He and Obama have talked more in the last week probably than they have in their entire life,” Carville said at a press lunch hours before the former president was to address the Democratic national convention. “My sense is the healing process has accelerated.”
There has been a lot of speculation about Clinton this week, with some news accounts suggesting the ex-president is still upset with the Obama campaign for suggesting his conduct in the primaries in support of his wife Hillary was racist.
But Carville said it would be obvious, once Clinton addressed the convention delegates Wednesday night, that he enthusiastically supports Obama for president and is ready to campaign for the nominee.
“This is going to be a much warmer thing than you had with Reagan and Ford (at the 1976 Republican convention),” Carville said. “It’s going to be a much warmer thing than you had with Kennedy and Carter (at the 1980 Democratic convention. And the Clinton and Gore relationship in 2000.”
