America’s best-known political commentator couple, James Carville and Mary Matalin, will share their razor-sharp perceptions about today’s political climate at the 7^th Annual Methodist Cancer Center Luncheon at 11:45 a.m., Friday, November 14, at The Peabody Hotel. Carville and Matalin are each a champion of their own party’s convictions, making this an opportunity for Mid-Southerners to observe the fireworks as they deliver incisive and entertaining comments on the political world.

Carville and Matalin are each leading voices in creating and advocating political strategies and tactics, and each has become renowned for extraordinary intelligence and uncanny political insight. Carville, who was the chief strategist for the 1992 Clinton Presidential campaign, and Matalin, who was at the same time, the deputy campaign manager for political operations of President George Bush’s 1992 re-election campaign, were married in 1993. Since then, both have had distinguished careers in the political realm.

In addition to serving as assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor to Vice President Dick Cheney, Matalin has been a host of CNN’s critically acclaimed TV debate show, “Crossfire.” As Accomplished authors, both have made the New York Times Best Seller list with their individual works such as Matalin’s Letters To My Daughter and Carville’s Take It Back: Our Party, Our Country, Our Future. Together they wrote one of the nation’s best-selling political memoirs, All’s Fair: Love, War And Running For President.
