Join us for our annual WAVC / NVCA luncheon meeting on Thursday, December 3rd at the Four Seasons Hotel in East Palo Alto. The event will feature America's best-known political consultant, James Carville, who will share his views on the state of American politics.

James Carville's long list of electoral successes demonstrates a knack for steering overlooked campaigns to unexpected landslide victories and for re-making political underdogs into upset winners. Carville is also an author, actor, producer, talk-show host, speaker and restaurateur.

Among his accomplishments, Carville guided Bill Clinton to the US Presidency in 1992. He was named Campaign Manager of the Year by the American Association of Political Consultants for his leadership in Clinton's intense War Room at campaign headquarters—and he was the focus, along with George Stephanopoulos, of the Academy Award-nominated documentary The War Room.

After the Clinton victory, Carville focused on foreign consulting, advising clients like Greek Prime Minister Constantine Mitsotakis, Brazillian President Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

Carville has authored several best-selling novels:
  • All's Fair: Love, War, and Running for President (co-authored with wife, Mary Matalin, 1995)
  • We're Right, They're Wrong: A Handbook for Spirited Progressives (1996)
  • The Horse He Rode In On: The People vs. Kenneth Starr (1998)
  • Buck Up. Suck Up. And Come Back When You Foul Up: Had Enough? A Handbook for Fighting Back (co-authored with Paul Begala, 2001)
  • Take It Back: Our Party, Our Country, Our Future and 40 More Years: How Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation (2009)
In 2003, Carville and wife, Mary Matalin—a celebrated Republican strategist—put a critically-acclaimed spin on political consulting in the HBO series K Street. Carville is a frequent commentator on CNN and the host of XM radio's 60/20 weekly sports show.
