Triangulation and pandering to the right made some sense in the politics of the 1990's - memories of Reagan were still fresh, and there was hope that the toddlers that had taken control of the House could be spoken to like adults.

We don't live in that world anymore. Gingrich and his co-conspirators were reluctant to compromise, but red-hatters are a whole 'nother level of bubble dweller. I don't think Carville completely gets that.
