Here are excerpts from recent articles about him and the race:

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee helped the Hackett campaign secure Carville's appearance and provided some fund-raising assistance that allowed the Hackett campaign to begin a TV ad campaign this week.

"I look at the economy in the last five years and as we all know, it has spiraled into an abyss, and economy is miserable," he said. "You know that when you go to the pump. You know that when you have to pay the rent, pay the mortgage. I will gladly give back the $600 I got from President Bush's tax cut in exchange of the healthy economy that we had in the '90s."
