Dick Morris predicted on The O’Reilly Factor tonight that Mitt Romney will win by 4-8 points and over 300 electoral votes. Morris also said Romney will likely take Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.
And he’s never wrong.
(OK, he’s always wrong. But I hope he’s right this time.)
I dont see any of the polls indicatiing Mitt will get the trifecta.
I’m pretty sure someone else said this months ago...
The polls better start reflecting this in the next week or else the 0zambies will have an excuse for “civil unrest”.
Double “Ping”
Scott Rasmussen came on right afterwards (with the guy from Suffolk) and said “no one will win by 8 points.”
He didn’t refute anything about 4 points, however.
Romney still up 50-46 in Rasmussen Daily today (with one day polling post debate).
Didn’t he predict a McCain victory?
OK, I get it. I get it. Morris is wrong more often than the National Hurricane Forecast. But it appears he is pretty much on-target with this guess.
Hope for the best, prepare for the worst.
Romney may win the electoral vote but I doubt he stuffs the President on the popular vote. The big states are too lopsided.
I literally got sick to my stomach when I heard him last night. A Dick Morris prediction is tantamount to a team being on the Sports Illustrated cover the week before the Super Bowl.
But, hey, I guess even the Red Sox were eventually able to shake the Bambino so maybe this IS his year. Let’s hope and pray it is so.
Yeah, winning by 8 points seems a bit glib. I definitely see Romney winning with ~52% of the vote.
I think each day this becomes more and more the likley outcome.
Obama cannot get over 50% in any poll. His approval rating is below 50%.
The last remaining undecideds over the last 3-4 days will break 80% for Romney. If they really wanted Obama they’d already be in his camp.
I agree with Dick Morris.
Its not based on anything scientific - just a feeling we’re looking at a landslide.
The polls are all converging now and state polls - always lagging indicators, appear to be following suit.
And folks on Intrade are dumping once sure fire Obama stocks as fast as they can.
But this time, I don't think it's wishful thinking. I think that there are figures going that way -- worse thing that happens is that its a bit closer, but not close enough to steal because that's after all the "theft" is factored in.
early on he did, but he changed his mind later.
That the polls that had Obama out front consistently now have came to even is telling.
Morris offered a range of seats we’d pick up in 2010 and his low end guess was right on the money. He was slightly more optimistic than the top pollsters, and his prediction was true. Assuming no major game changers the next two weeks, I am guessing his low end will be just about accurate. A 52-48 or 51-48 is about what I expect.
I’d be quite happy if we got it by that margin.
