Yeah, I think Morris basically has the same opinion about the D-oversampled polling that a lot of people here do.

He’s got nothing to lose really. If he’s right and Romney wins with the useless polls predicting an Obama win, he looks like a clairvoyant. If he’s wrong again, it will eventually be forgotten, because he’s been wrong before and he just plows ahead as if it never happened.

Morris wrote an article explaining why he doesn’t trust the polls. It has nothing to do with “sampling.” He explained how every poll has a sample skewed different ways, but the pollsters always adjust numbers based on a turnout model, predicting which groups will turn out in what proportion. And he says the 2008 model is the one the polls are using, which he thinks is wrong.
