Open Mouth. Insert Foot.
For a high-level political strategist in the Democratic Party, this guy doesn't seem to be all that sharp. The New York Times's Kate Phillips reports:

On Tuesday night, we mentioned the dustup between two Democratic pundits, Ms. [Donna] Brazile and Mr. [Paul] Begala, who engaged in a prime-time debate about the coalitions being built by Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Begala, a Clinton supporter, said the party could not win in November with just “eggheads and African-Americans,” that the party could not ignore white middle-class voters. (link)
"... eggheads and African-Americans."

I'll bet that went over real well with the ... African-Americans in his party.
