Dick Morris- Instead we got an Obama squeaker.
This first line.
I’ve got egg on my face. I predicted a Romney landslide and, instead, we ended up with an Obama squeaker.
Yeah real squeaker Dick.

What a buffoon. Someone needs to do a post election results and compare polls. I know Rasmussen had Wisconsin even and it wasn't even close. He was off by 3% in the national election too.

Dunno Tom, when he was part of Clinton's staff, he could do no wrong among Democrats.

Think about this. He predicts a Romney "Landslide" 325-213
Obama's SQUEAKER 332-206.

No he didn't...and his first comments after O's speech were to rip him for not mentioning Bill Clinton.

Rachel did mention right after Matthews comments that Obama, after calling Romney, next called President Clinton.

Was that before or after he thanked God for hurricane Sandy?

Why bother mentioning Bill Clinton, when Obama and Clinton are just going to be working together in 2016 to elect Hillary. That is why Bubba was working so hard and that is Barry knows what he has to do.

4 years ago the Giants were 14 point underdogs against the Patriots and a lot of people thought that was being kind. We all know how that turned out.

There's a reason why the game was actually played, just as there was a reason to actually have an election. Come on, you're smarter than that.

There's a reason why the game was actually played, just as there was a reason to actually have an election. Come on, you're smarter than that.
But he's not making the point that he was inaccurate (and in such an egregiously absurd manner), it was that he called a 325 outcome for Romney a 'LANDSLIDE!' whereas a 331 outcome for Obama a 'Squeaker'.
And for the record, that response he wrote is utter sh*t too. This entire reasoning shows just how absolutely worthless pundits like this are -
Quote:I derided the media polls for their assumption of what did, in fact happen: That blacks, Latinos, and young people would show up in the same numbers as they had in 2008. I was wrong. They did.
But the more proximate cause of my error was that I did not take full account of the impact of hurricane Sandy and of Governor Chris Christie’s bipartisan march through New Jersey arm in arm with President Obama. Not to mention Christe’s fawning promotion of Obama’s presidential leadership.
It made all the difference.
A key element of Romney’s appeal, particularly after the first debate, was his ability to govern with Democrats in Massachusetts. Obama’s one-party strident approach, so much the opposite of what he pledged in his first national speech in 2004, had turned voters off. But by working seamlessly with an acerbic Republican Governor like Christie, Obama was able to blunt Romney’s advantage in this crucial area.
Sandy, in retrospect, stopped Romney’s post-debate momentum. She was, indeed, the October Surprise. She also stopped the swelling concern over the murders in Benghazi and let Obama get away with his cover-up in which he pretended that a terrorist attack was, in fact, just a spontaneous demonstration gone awry.
In the same breath that he admits he was clearly outclassed by every major polling outlet and completely destroyed by the analysis of polling aggregates which he scoffed, he ignores everything they've said about Sandy and Romneys 'momentum'. Sandy had no appreciable effects on Silvers model, and Romneys 'momentum' had stopped weeks before Sandy even occurred. This isn't some guy saying this, this is an algorithm that uses actual data and statistical analysis to ascertain the truth; and it's accurate as hell.
Morris is a f*cking joke, seriously, he's a moron who doesn't deserve the attention he's getting. Feel free to use him for your information, but remember, he's only there to make you feel warm and cozy about your like-minded opinions, not to tell you the truth.

Because he tells conservatives what they want to hear, and there's money to be made in tucking them in at night, assuring them that Romney will win, as opposed to telling them the truth.
