Former Afghan finance minister Ashraf Ghani has apparently retained the services of famed Democratic party strategist James Carville in his bid to unseat President Hamid Karzai. The ragin' cajun was typically circumspect in his comments:
"This is probably the most important election held in the world in a long time," Carville told The Associated Press in a telephone interview late Tuesday. "This is probably the most interesting project I have ever worked in my life."
I'm not sure how Carville defines "a long time," but I seem to remember an election last year that was pretty darn important.
