Morris is the only one who predicted the midterm landslide and nothing has changed

Utter hogwash. Virtually everyone in the predicting business correctly called the Republicans to win the midterms in a landslide. Even that goofy Nate Silver predicted the Republicans would win over 50 seats in the midterms. Same is true with Stu Rothenberg, Charlie Cook, etc.

Morris was wildly optimistic and predicted a near 100 seat win for the Republicans which wasn't even close.

NOPE. I distinctly and very clearly heard him say 64 to 66 seats when interviewed by Hannity. He was quite close ( the final number was 63 ).

True. But didn’t Rothenberg, Cook and Silver early in 2010 that the GOP has little chance to win the House? At the very least I’ll give credit to Morris for catching the wave first.

Hogwash, the mainstream media a month before the election was still predicting the Dems would hold the house while Morris was saying 65-80 seats. I predicted 100 seats a year before the election and was laughed at. Morris and I were much closer than the mediots and poll dancers.

You better get going, there is another optimist on another thread you need to straighten out.

Pray for America
