Dick Morris, who had everyone here on FR in a tizzy a couple of weeks ago saying Bush was in big trouble and that Kerry was in good shape has now changed his tune.
*Despite having "the worst 6 weeks of any president in recent history," Bush's poll numbers have stabilized.
"If I had to pick, right now, today, I'd say Kerry would win, but if I had to pick who is looking better for November, I'd say Bush."
Morris said that he expects that Iraq situation to die down, especially after the transfer of power, and that we'll pull back to bases in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia and this will cause the "War on Terror" to re-emerge as the main issue as opposed to the "War in Iraq." Bush wins on that issue, he says.
Hannity asked about gas prices and ANWAR. Not an issue, Morris said. The public is focused on the war. Where Bush and the Republicans can do damage to Kerry is on his support for the gas tax.
Overall, Morris seemed to think Bush had hit bottom and would start to recover, contrary to what he said a few weeks ago (I know, Morris changes his tune a lot).
Asked about his next book, Morris said instead of a counter to Hillary's "Living History" ("Rewriting History"), it would be a rebuttal to Clinton's "My Life." Morris said he would need two volumes, and would call it
"Get a Life."
Ahhhhhhhhhhh funny!
Wonder if he surfs FR... if just to read about himself.
All I know is what I read here on FR.
But, I heard DM on Hannity this afternoon, and I have to ask:
How can such a shallow thinking, cliche spouting, bromide regurtitator get such a heavy paying gig as he obviously does?
sooo cuuuuute!
The thing to remember about all of this is that if a talking head doesnt say something he doesnt eat....
That former job with the clinton administration is all that is needed on the resume......
Hey RD!
I could not have said it better as my wife is a Recovering Damn Democrap!

He likes to credit himself for getting Clinton elected, like he did America a favor. Sheesh!! He should have run as fast as he could, twenty minutes after meeting him. He might be making money, but he also has the credibility of Clinton, of which there are no words to go low enough to describe.l
I know. I caught that too. Just reporting what he said.
True, but somewhere down there he DOES know polling and he does know political strategy---and if you can get by what he has to say to eat, well, I think he can be of some value.

If I knew that, I wouldn't tell you, I'd get me one of them heavy paying gigs my own self.
NO matter what is happening to Bush, Kerry can't seem to get above 45-46%. Once things improve, Bush will bounce back up 4-5 points. He will get another 2-3 on election day, because the undecideds will NOT want to change leaders during war. Especially for the likes of Kerry. (even with Edwards as VP)
I don't dislike Morris as much as some on FR, but that said, I do take what he says with a huge grain of salt. (That can be said for so many of the current crop of pundits though.)
He has to have a new position on the election each time so he is assured of a continuing appearance schedule on H&C. You have to promote yourself when no one else will do it for you. He is a master at manipulating Sean and Alan. When will they realize it?
Wasn't Dubya behind Ma richardson in TX, before he beat the socks off her?
