Sometimes when Morris appears, he attempts to predict candidates' chances of winning elections. His record with political predictions is somewhat mixed. In his current book (on the upcoming 2008 Presidential race), Morris states that it is most likely that Hillary Clinton will face Condoleezza Rice for the presidency. Morris critics, however, have mocked his sureness on this issue, due to the fact that he has made predictions which have been wrong in past races. For instance, he stated "I don't give much for his chances", referring to John Kerry challenging Howard Dean for the Democratic nomination for the presidential run in 2004, a prediction that was not borne out when Dean was beaten in the race. Additionally, he predicted that Hillary Clinton would face a "nightmare" in her 2006 senate race against moderate Republican candidate Jeanine Pirro, whose campaign subsequently collapsed within a matter of two months after repeated crushing defeats in the opinion polls. He even went so far as to suggest that Clinton would "give up" and drop out to focus on her 2008 campaign.[2][3]
Hmmm... quite unimpressive if the Wiki entry is any indicator.
He seems to be a look-at-the-current-situation-and-extrapolate-it-to-the-future kind of fellow.
You know, the kind of guy who makes predictions at the spur of the moment.
It would be great to keep this thread bumped for at least 2 weeks just for comparison purposes.
