WaPo: Get ready New Orleans....
Source: Washington Post
you've got some crazy politicians heading your way:
The quintessential Beltway power couple are escaping the Beltway: Mary Matalin and James Carville are moving to New Orleans.
"James told me when we got married we'd end up in Louisiana," GOP strategist Matalin told us yesterday. Her Democratic strategist husband, famously known as the Ragin' Cajun, has deep roots and a huge passel of family there, so "it's like the Jews going back to Jerusalem," she said. "It's the Holy Land. The old Jew is taking me home."
Why now, midway through the Most Exciting Election Year Ever? For the kids. Their two daughters are about to enter fifth and eighth grade, Matalin said, which in Louisiana mark the start of middle school and high school. It was just the right time.
Last week, Carville and Matalin put their five-bedroom Alexandria riverfront home on the market for just under $4.5 million (they bought it three years ago for $3.9 mil, according to public records). They've already bought a house in New Orleans, near Tulane University (where the twosome will be tag-team graduation speakers this spring), on the same block as one of Carville's cousins.
