A BLOWOUT IN THE MAKING

New York Post ^ | 3/24/04 | DICK MORRIS

[sport]

I would be interested in learning why he left the clinton crime cartel and how he did and kept breathing.

Vince Foster tried to leave and the results to him were disasterous.

James Mc Dougal tried to leave and they got to him behind prison walls.

Dick Morris walks away and nothing happens to him.
Something smells here because the clintons never do anything from the goodness of their hearts.
Everything they do from eating a meal and going to the bathroom has a ulterior motive and is designed to get hillary in the White House.

I was just ribbing the Senator from Arizona. Remember the time during the 2000 campaign when he got on stage and said he was like Luke Skywalker fighting his way out of the Deathstar?

If Kerry self-destructs before the Democratic convention, then they'll push Hillary to the fore.

I'm going to file this article of Morris' in my hardrive and bring it up in, say, late September.

Here's one from my hardrive. - Tom

DEMS PULL AHEAD DICK MORRIS
November 4, 2002 -- IN a number of key U.S. Senate contests, it appears that Democrats have gained a decisive advantage in their efforts to expand their lead in the upper chamber. snipped

What went wrong for the Republicans?
They don't have any issues after Clinton cut welfare and crime. Voters are mad about Wall Street's shenanigans and worried about the economy's doldrums.

And President Bush lost the sense of urgency he had generated about Iraq in September by miring himself in U.N. negotiations with France. Bush's popularity dropped as he appeared to be too much of a politician and too little of a wartime leader in recent weeks

I'm not a paid political advisor, but wisdom dictated a month ago that President Bush keep his money in his pocket until he had a candidate chosen to defeat.

Yes, but that's one of my points that Morris is a political consultant and should have factored in that the ads would start running and having an effect. I've been saying it here for the past few months, "Don't worry about the polls folks, Kerry is only tied and the GOP has not started firing the heavy guns yet."

[Luis Gonzalez]

"Bustamante won in Cal, just like the LAT polls showed."

Stranger things have been known to happen.

Pat Buchanan was elected President of Palm Beach just a couple of years ago.

[Howlin]

I find Morris to be the sharpest such person among this select group.

How about naming something he's been right about.

[VadeRetro]

This Democrat is not ready to run for president, and the more the Republicans press him, the more he will self-destruct. His campaign advisers are hoping that a few hours extra sleep on his ski trip will restore his political judgment, but they ignore the fact that he never had a lot to begin with.

The fact is that Massachusetts liberal Democrats don't spend a lot of time learning how to appeal to middle America.

Morris has never shown better judgment.

[Wolfstar]

Not to defend the L.A. Times, but truth matters. Their Sept. 25-29 poll had Arnold at 40%, Bustamante at 32% and McClintock at 15%. Actual election results were Arnold at 49%, Bustamante at 32% and McClintock at 13%.

I do not mean this in any way to indicate that I think polls are accurate. Not so. See this case study of the California recall polls I posted on FR awhile ago.

[Poundstone]

He predicted Clinton would beat Dole in 96.

[Nick Danger]

Morris is in it for the game.

I agree with that. He's been wrong, but who hasn't? The guy is fundamentally a "student of the game." He does this for fun. Such people are usually better than the average bear at guessing this stuff, mostly because they spend more time on it.

[Darlin']

Thats all very well and good but I'm not about to trust a democrat for hire.

"He predicted Clinton would beat Dole in 96."

LOL. So did everyone else on the planet.

The Psychic view of the 2004 election:

Here is an intersting take on this election. Sean David Morton, www.delphiassociates.org , a psychic remote viewer, has on record predicted a Bush Presidency back in 1997 when he was still the Gov. of TX. I've been following this guy's predictions and here is some amazing one's to date:

Sean David Morton on Coast to Coast Radio (sometime in 2000)
* Bush will win the election with controversy surrounding one southern state

Sean David Morton on Coast to Coast Radio, 12/12/2001 -
* The Republicans will win back the Senate, controversy surrounding a death of a U.S. Senator.

Sean David Morton on Coast to Coast Radio, 8/21/2003 -
* Arnold Schwarzenegger will win in a landslide.
Note: this was when arnold was considered to have decided against the run. Arnold later did run and won in a landslide.

Sean David Morton on Coast to Coast Radio, 1/31/2004 -
* George W. Bush will crush his democratic opponent.
* Bush will be involved in 2005 in the MidEast peace
process.
* There will be economic chaos in late 2005-2006 which will cause riots in major U.S. cities.
* Device called Red Mercury will detonate in D.C. in 2006 timeframe.

As you can see, this guy is one of the best in predicting the future. A 2004 blowout for BUSH seems unlikely at this time. However, i think it would end up being more of a 1988 landslide than a 1984 if it is a blowout. Bush will probably lose CA, WA, MI, NY, CT, MD, RI, NJ, HI, VT, MA, IL, DE - thats 37 out of 50 which isnt bad at all.
