Sparks To Fly

Temple Israel to host Mary Matalin,
James Carville.

T

hat dueling couple of poli-
tics, Mary Matalin and
James Carville, will square
off for an afternoon of
witty repartee, political insight and
fun at the Temple Israel Speakers
Forum on Sunday, Dec. 6.
Matalin, a free-spirited political
consultant, commentator and
Republican campaign strategist, and
her husband, a cocky political advisor
and architect of Bill Clinton's 1992
presidential campaign, will speak at 4
p.m.
"We chose
them because
they're politically
astute and this is
a political season,
a political year,"
said Susie
Leemaster,
Temple Israel pro-
gram director.
"We felt their
insight into what's
happening in
Washington and
around the coun-
try would be

interesting local-
ly."
Right: Mary Matalin
Matalin took
her brand of
straight-shooting talk and humor_ to
the airwaves as host of "The Mary
Matalin Show," a three-hour after-
noon radio program on the CBS Talk
Radio Network. Talkers Magazine
called her one of "The 100 Most
Important Talk Show Hosts in
America" from 1996 to 1998. Talk
Daily gave the show its Great Web
Site Award.
Matalin, also founding co-host of
the Washington-based weeknight
political talk show, "Equal Time,"
today makes frequent television
appearances as a political commenta-
tor.
The Reagan Revolution led
Matalin, an Illinois native, to
Washington, where she rose through
the ranks of the Republican National
Committee.
In 1986, she joined the George
Bush for President Campaign, rising
to National Victory '88 Director in
the general election. Bush's victory

and appointment of Lee Atwater as
Republican National Committee
chairman led to Matalin's choice as
Atwater's chief of staff.
In 1992, she became Bush's deputy
campaign manager for political opera-
tions. As the on-board planner who
traveled with the president, she
emerged as the vocal and occasionally
controversial defender of the presi-
dent and his policies.
Carville has managed more politi-
cal campaigns than anyone in U.S.
history. He's noted for turn-
ing political underdogs into
upset winners.

He got his start in politics canvass-
ing for a car dealer running for the
Louisiana State Legislature. After
flunking out of Louisiana State
University in 1966, he served two
years in the Marine Corps. He then
returned to LSU to earn undergradu-
ate and law degrees.
While litigating for a Baton Rouge
law firm from 1973 to 1979, he con-
sulted on state and local Democratic
campaigns. He managed his first cam-
paign, a U.S. Senate race in Virginia,
in 1982. The next year, while manag-
ing Lloyd Doggett's unsuccessful bid
for governor of Texas, he was nick-
named the "Rajun Cajun" and began
a professional collaboration with Paul
Begala. In 1989, the two formed
Carville & Begala, specializing in
political consulting for Democrats.
Their biggest win was Bill
Clinton's election to the presidency in
1992. In 1993, the American
Association of Political Consultants
