Matalin and Carville Leaving CNN

Mary Matalin and James Carville will be ending their longtime gigs as pundits on CNN.

Carville told Politico that the news network wanted its contributors to be more readily available --- i.e. in D.C. --- but he and his wife live in New Orleans.

Jeff Zucker officially started on the job last week, and today he put into play a big change with the hiring of Chris Cuomo, expected to have a major role in the morning hours. Last month, Jake Tapper also left ABC News for CNN, with plans for an afternoon show.
