Take It Back: Our Party, Our Country, Our Future
James Carville and Paul Begala discuss their new book, "Take It Back: Our Party, Our Country, Our Future." With the inimitable styles for which they are known, Democratic political consultants Carville and Begala dissect the 2000 and 2004 elections, when Republicans triumphed over Democrats, and take a long-range look at the national impact of the Bush-Cheney years. Rather than cry over the recent losses, Carville and Begala applaud the strengths of the Republicans and strongly advise the Democrats to recast the respective images of the two parties and take the lead on social and cultural issues.
