Bush almost unbeatable in 2004 election: Dick Morris

Correspondents Report ^ | 12/7/2003 | John Shovlean

Of course, Dick Morris has been wrong about alot more than he has been right lately, but I for one will take anybody saying anything positive about this President right now. It is high time we turn the tide on this negative crud and start hearing about the good things Bush is responsible for.

[Salvey]

This from the guy who predicted that Hillary would not run for the Senate, and, later, that she wouldn't win. I do, however, hope that he's right this time.

"In fact, there's a growing view that if Howard Dean does win the nomination, President Bush could make a clean sweep among conservative southerners."

A growing view among whom? Bush made a clean sweep in the South when he wasn't president yet and he was running against Al Gore from Tennessee! True, Al Gore wasn't really thought of as a southerner, he was from Washington, but that's besides the point. Dean is for sure not a southerner. Forget it. The South is sewn up for Bush, and Florida won't be close this time. However, Dean will win California and New York, as well as most of the rust belt states and New England, so I don't think it'll be a total wipeout. I do think Missouri and New Mexico will go for Bush, whereas they went for Gore in 2000.

A lot of it depends on how much of a flake Dean will be in the general campaign, assuming he is the nominee.

CommieDean makes McGovern look conservative!

True, but nothing he said here is totally off the wall or debatable really.

Dean is a sacrificial lamb... Frustration is really showing this go round for the liberal left. Hate and zero couth. Swing voters dont take to raving lunatics kindly.

[Cicero]

Yes, frankly, this makes me nervous. Dick Morris is always wrong. I liked it better last month, when he said that Bush's ratings were in the toilet and he was sure to lose.

[gorush]

Don't forget, he's usually wrong. As a strict constructionist I'm certainly not motivated to fight my way to the polls...

Missouri-Bush 2000

[zencat]

Morris predicting this is almost enough to make me worry. He blew the 2002 mid-terms and the CA recall.

He's probably only made this prediction because it appears to be nearly a sure bet. Yes, Bush appears to be cruising to re-election, but that shouldn't be cause for complacency. All the house seats are up for grabs, and the GOP looks to pick up several senate seats.

Missouri went for Bush in 2000.

[GreatOne]

My wife just loves the guy, but he seems to be merely self-serving. Even with his past Republican clients, I can't help but think that he's talking like this because he knows his bread is being buttered by conservatives and Fox News now.

I have said this before and it bears repeating. Southern conservatives, atleast the ones I have encountered, are social conservatives, but not fiscally so. In fact, they are quite susceptible to the rich-bashing, class-envy populist themes of the Dean campaign.

Southern social conservatives are not the dyed in the wool, Ayn Rand reading, net surfing, super-informed, news-savvy conservatives like people here. I don't want to take them for granted in assuming they will vote for Bush. We need to work hard for every vote.

The Internet and right wing talk radio are some reasons the dems are out of power.

FR and other right wing organizations dominate the net today. The lefties started to get involved after it was too late for the last presidential election.

The Internet also forces the leftist press to cover a story they would just as soon omit since they don't further their leftist agenda. Bill Clinton would not have been impeached if it had not been for Matt Drudge and plenty of support on the internet. Morris is often wrong but I agree with him on the power of the internet.

The American hating leftists around the world haven't missed the right wing vehicle that the internet has become, by by passing the leftist lamestream media.

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com WASHINGTON – A global summit set for next week in Geneva is expected to provide the venue for a plan to put the Internet under United Nations control.

Developing nations – including China, Syria and Vietnam – are pushing for the U.N. or one of its agencies to regulate the Internet, perhaps as soon as 2005. Diplomats from more than 60 countries plan to take up the issue at the U.N. World Information Summit in Geneva beginning next Wednesday.

__________________________

I seem to recall a time just before the 2000 Election that he called it for Bush by a land slide, and yet I am still inclined to listen to him. I think I really took a liking to him during the Klintoon/Lewinsky mess.

[Ciexyz]

Bush is doing everything right!

[small voice in the wilderness]

Uh-oh. Dickie-Mo rises from the depths of the sea, spews another political prediction high into the air, then disappears again into bottom-feeding spin and conjecture . Thar he blows, matey. He's a fearsome creature.

[Servant of the 9]

And Bush got it done. And I think that what he's really done is to force the Democrats to wage the campaign in the past tense.

There used to be a recession. There used to be casualties in Iraq. There used to be no coverage for prescription drugs. And that's not a great way to wage a campaign.

Don't forget, he's usually wrong.

Fortunately, he is not the strategist, just a comentator.

As a strict constructionist I'm certainly not motivated to fight my way to the polls.

Once you hear a full list of what Vermont's answer to Huey Long plans to do to the country, you will feel motivated to stop him.
