Dick Morris has a horrible track record. I distinctly remember him making a bunch of wild predictions during 2008 (both about the primaries and the general). Almost none of them came true.

Wait, this is the same guy who thinks Romney has a chance in New Jersey. Yeah, he has zero credibility. Even the most political partisan should be able to recognize that some states just go blue or red and it takes an extremely dynamic politician to change that. Romney isn't that candidate.

Morris is not only wrong in his prediction, he is a moron for making the wild assertion that Pres. Obama could lose New Jersey. That's like saying Pres. Obama can win Georgia and we know that won't happen. Yikes, how ignorant can Morris be.

He and Glen Beck are probably big buds.
Haters no, simply don't like incompetetent people serving as a President. We need results and solutions, noot people who blame others...not leadership at all.

That's a really DUMB statement after the past week.

Even for a sleeze like Morris.

But all you Obamaphobes can feel good about him saying it.

Now that he has shed a light on the extreme left you don't like him and think of him as a naughty boy...right? I think we can take sex off the menu as far as tools for political warfare now. Men in power.....well they are simply men in power. I like him and his wife forgave him,,,,,good enough for me. Cant find any Saints in the democratic party and damn few in the republican party for that matter. Besides....Barney Frank got a pass for running young boys out of his apartment......just sayin.

huh?

Guess you're one of those folks who just makes things up and throws it out in a post on a political forum.

The Real Poll Numbers

By Dick Morris on August 6, 2012
The media is trying to create a sense of momentum and of inevitability about the Obama candidacy. One benighted Newsweek reporter even speculated about a possible Democratic landslide.
On Friday, I saw the real numbers. These state-by-state polls, taken by an organization I trust (after forty years of polling) show the real story. The tally is based on more than 600 likely voter interviews in each swing state within the past eight days.
The trend line is distinctly pro-Romney. Of the thirteen states studied, he improved or Obama slipped in nine states while the reverse happened in only four. To read the media, one would think that Romney had a terrible month. In fact, the exact reverse is true.
Romney is currently leading in every state McCain carried plus: Indiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, and Colorado. If he carries these states, he’ll have 228 electoral votes of the 270 he needs to win.
I've always thought Nevada and Colorado aren't as blue as the media has made them out to be but Romney ahead? I need to see some data points.

The one thing you can always count on Dick Morris to do is be wrong with just about any of this predictions.

I remember listening to him on the radio claiming that Palin's selection as VP was going to lead to a landslide victory of epic proportions for McCain.

Morris makes his living as part of the right wing echo chamber. He tells righties what they want to hear and in return they listen to him on TV and radio and buy his books.
