The point?
To dramatize the fact that he had egg on his face after wrongly predicting that Democrat John Kerry (news - web sites) was going to win the presidential election.
"Meet the Press" host Tim Russert and Republican strategist Mary Matalin, who is Carville's wife, jumped out of the way to keep from being drenched by the flying egg white.
Carville — known as the Ragin' Cajun for his fiery partisanship — predicted Kerry would get 52 percent of the vote and President Bush (news - web sites) 47 percent.
That projection was really scrambled because, in the end, the final tally turned out to be eggs-actly the opposite of the eventual vote tally.
