James Carville had interesting debate points, and was very kind to our student escorts. We were very glad to have him back at W&L.
Washington & Lee University
Faculty and alumni said [James Carville] was one of the greatest speakers they'd ever had. Students were incredibly excited to have him on campus and I don't think they thought they'd be laughing that hard that early in the morning.

The legendary, provocative and always timely James Carville presents his captivating views on American and international politics, spiced with his own unique brand of optimism and humor. This political mastermind and a fixture in US politics shares his thoughts on current events, the divided Congress, the second administration of Barack Obama and the challenges facing the major political parties and players. Carville discusses how, beginning in 2006, American political power started shifting between the two parties at a glacial pace with neither party holding onto the reigns of leadership for long. The highly partisan atmosphere in Washington and constant power shifts over the last few years have proven that the old rules of politics and power are gone—maybe forever. Why is this happening? Are politicians intentionally dividing the electorate for political gain? Why have things become so partisan? He dissects the extreme political forces shaping the country and shows what trends from the last two decades mean for our political future. Using data derived from the intersection of policy, politics and public opinion, Carville believes the real strength in America is the power of youth and that those wishing to maintain political power ignore this bloc at their own peril.

Meet James Carville

One of the most recognizable figures in politics, James Carville is an insider who analyzes the Obama Administration, Congress and the global political landscape with his signature energy and humor.

There’s nobody in politics like James Carville. Offering bombastic, enthusiastic, shoot-from-the-hip, no-holds-barred political commentary combined with a quick wit and a Southern drawl, the “Ragin’ Cajun” is instantly recognizable from his frequent TV appearances. Carville has been at the center of some of the most dramatic political victories of our generation and his insights move and shape the political landscape. With the trends in the political arena towards polarity and partisanship, the highly partisan atmosphere in Washington and constant power shifts over the last few years have proven that the old rules of politics and power are gone—maybe forever. Carville now discusses with audiences what effects political division will have on both political parties and our country for decades to come. He is the author of a number of books, including It’s the Middle Class, Stupid! (July 2012), 40 More Years: How the Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation (2009), and All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President, written with his wife and favorite debate partner Mary Matalin. They are now working on their second joint memoir entitled, You Can Go Home Again, to be published in 2014. In addition to his expertise in domestic politics, Carville has also worked on international campaigns in more than 23 countries including those of 14 heads of state.
