Howard Dean Thinks Romney Could Carry Fewer States Than Goldwater

Could Howard Dean be the worst political prognosticator ever? Could a former DNC Chairman really be this clueless about the electoral map? Apparently.

On MSNBC's Ed Show this evening, Dean claimed it was possible that in a match-up against Barack Obama, Mitt Romney might win fewer than the six states Barry Goldwater carried in 1964. Seriously, Dr. Dean? You see President Barack Obama carrying, oh, I don't know, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Nebraska and Idaho--all states Goldwater lost--plus some others Goldwater won. Utah, maybe?

Whatever you think of Romney, Dean is out of his mind ping to Today show list.

Sounds like the good doctor has been dipping into his own prescription bag. Romney is not my choice for nominee, and I think he is a weak candidate, but he’s at least 50/50 to beat Obama come the fall.* Goldwater like losses? No way in bleep. Obama may win enough swing states to prevail, but the final EV numbers will look a heck of a lot more like 2004 than 1964.

*Assuming he picks a decent running mate and mounts a better-than-mccain2008-campaign.

Dean is right.

Any diagnosis by Dr. Dean requires a second opinion.

I think Mitts is no better than 50/50 to beat Herr Leader, but I seriously doubt the accuracy of Dean's prediction.

I will say this, if Romney is our candidate, no matter who wins we are seriously screwed. A little less with Mitts, but that doesn't make me feel any better.

“Dean is right”

In this instance, yes it is.

LOL! Howard can still think?

And I thought his brain flew out through his nose when he screamed during his campaign . . . .for. . .what was that office he ran for? I forget! and I wish I could completely forget as in never hearing from him again.

Colors are wrong.

Howard Dean?

Ask G. Gordon Liddy about Dean.

[Texas Fossil]

After thinking about it, Wrong Dean.

Both of them are Dem Idiots though.

Not a chance, Romney would lose WORSE than Goldwater because of his Progressive Liberal record as Governor.

Obama and his minions in the MSM will utterly destroy Romney if he is the nominee. Once they start using his record, as follows, he's dead meat and will get slaughtered:


1. Supported Gay Adoption as Governor.
2. Implemented and Supported Gay Marriage as Governor
3. Supported Abortion as Governor
4. Supported the Brady Bill
5. Implemented an "Assault" Weapons Ban at the state-level AFTER the Federal AWB was allowed to elapse.
6. Believes in Global Warming.
7. Supported a state-level Cap-N-Trade system as Governor.
8. Supported TARP.
9. Supported Amnesty for Illegal Aliens (Pathway to Citizenship).
10. Implemented a SOCIALISTIC HealthCare Insurance model in MA that included $50 Abortions and an Individual Mandate.

Romney is the Perfect Storm of a Rino candidate. The Socialists on the left are drooling that he is the nominee.

Mad man Dean speaks!

If Romney obtains the Pubbie nom I will not vote for him. It will be better for America to suffer more under Obama than let an Obama wannabe run the country into the ground further under the Pubbie banner. Let the Dems take the hit again.

If America feels that it needs to suffer further under the “fruits” of collectivism let them vote the Bum back in for a second term.

I know it is fun to make fun of Dr. Dean. I would caution some though. Remember he was put in charge of the DNC alter Kerry’s loss. He was called an idiot for his 50 state strategy here and on the left too. He straightened out the DNC finances and ramped up fundraising. Dems kicked our asses in 06 and 08. Make fun all you want but know thy enemy.

While I agree that if Romney is the nominee, it`ll very likely be an easy, comfortable win for 0bama, but Mitt will at least win 18-20 states. It won`t be a Johnson-Goldwater type of blowout.
