Top Democratic strategist James Carville said Tuesday that he has no intention of getting involved in the 2008 presidential race - unless Hillary Clinton asks him to manage her campaign.
"I'll do anything in the world for Mrs. Clinton," the Ragin' Cajun told radioman Don Imus, adding: "I'm sure she'll tell us what her intentions are sometime."
The one-time political pitbull had just finished explaining why he intended to stay out of the 2008 race, saying: "I'll be 64 and my kids will be something like 13 and 10 - I've got two little girls. And that kind of situation is incompatible with running a presidential campaign."
Carville was appearing with 1992 presidential campaign partner Paul Begala to hawk their new book: "Take It Back : Our Party, Our Country, Our Future."

Asked if he would consider joining another presidential team with Carville, Begala told Imus: "We tried to. We offered our help to the Kerry campaign and, frankly, they didn't want it."
