Carville’s claim to fame is guiding Bill Clinton’s presidential campaign of 1992 to victory.
As a result of this victory, Carville was nominated for Campaign Manager of the Year by the American Association of Political Consultants.
Mataline was an assistant to President George W. Bush and counselor for Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Before working for Bush and Cheney, Mataline hosted “Crossfire,” and founded the weeknight political talk show, “Equal Time,” on CNBC.
Mataline has also written several articles for newspapers such as The Los Angeles Times and Newsweek, while making several appearances on news shows as a political commentator.
Mataline and Carville have written the book All’s Fair: Love, War and Running for President. This is a best-selling book that is focused primarily on campaign techniques.
Both are nationally known as two of the top political consultants in the country.

World War II perspectives explored
THe Japanese-American aspect of World War II will be presented in the documentary “Rabbit in the Moon” and through a guest speaker on Monday at 7 p.m. in Sturm Hall Auditorium.
Emiko Omori’s film will explore the perspective of the second generation of Japanese-Americans after the internment concentration camps.
The documentary consists of interviews of several people who voice their displeasure with the imprisonment of Japanese-Americans during the war, and their unwillingness to enlist as soldiers to fight for the country that was holding their families captive.
Through these narratives, a picture of life inside the camps is drawn for others to better understand what happened.
After the film, Marge Taniwaki, a survivor of one of the camps, will present her perspective. A discussion will also be held on the possibility of this happening again in the United States.
