Matthew John Dowd (born May 29, 1961)[3] is an American political consultant. He was the chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign and is the current ABC News political analyst.
Dowd’s father was an auto executive. Dowd attributes his early interest in politics to the Watergate Committee hearings during the summer of 1973 when he was 12 years old.
Dowd worked on the staff of Rep. Dick Gephardt, D-Mo. He began his political career as a Democrat, as a member of Senator Lloyd Bentsen’s, D-Tex., Senate and campaign staffs. In 1999, he switched parties to become a Republican.
During the 2004 Presidential election, Dowd was chief strategist for George W. Bush’s re-election campaign.
Dowd was the strategist for Arnold Schwarzenegger during his 2006 reelection campaign.
As reported in The New York Times on April 1, 2007, Dowd had come to feel a deep frustration with and great disappointment in George W. Bush, whom he criticized for failing to call the nation together in a time of war, for ignoring the will of the American public with regard to the Iraq War, his re-nomination of former UN ambassador John Bolton after his rejected confirmation and for failing to hold Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld accountable for the Abu Ghraib scandal.
According to Democracy Now!, Dowd claims to have undergone a change of heart regarding the Iraq War, and adopted a position advocating a withdrawal from that country, after contemplating the likelihood of his own son’s deployment to the country, as well as after seeing Bush refuse to meet with anti-war-mother Cindy Sheehan in the summer of 2005, while he was entertaining Lance Armstrong at his ranch in Crawford, Texas Dowd cited these incidents, as well as Bush’s handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, as cause for this change.
Upon leaving the Bush administration, Dowd has not been on speaking terms with former White House political adviser Karl Rove.
In December 2007, he was introduced on ABC’s Good Morning America as its new political contributor. He also appears on the same network’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos.
Dowd is currently a founding partner of ViaNovo, a strategy consultancy. He has taught at the University of Texas Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. As of 2015, he is also a visiting Fellow at the University of Chicago Institute of Politics.
Dowd is a vocal opponent of President Trump and believes that Trump’s use of Twitter is dangerous, impulsive and counterproductive. Dowd was especially upset with tweets aimed at the leader of North Korea.

I know Kevin - he is the political opposite of Maureen
“Stefanik was also attacked earlier in the day by MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace, who wrote on Twitter that she is “drinking the same loony tune juice with her breakfast” as former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley.
“I am flattered that you are comparing me to NikkiHaley!” Stefanik wrote. “HUGE compliment! Instead of ever standing in front of voters as a candidate or putting your name on the ballot, you just keep attacking @gop women who have. Sad. Get outside of the @MSNBC bubble!””

That’s about FOUR foot stomps on the smackdown meter . . .
Elise proves the rule again that the Republicans have the hottest women.
We don't elect "leaders" in this country ... we elect representatives ... big difference ...
She brought us governor Sarah palin so she did some good at one time.
This coming from ABC who is looking for the snitch who broke the Epstein coverup story by their won Amy Robach leading to the veritas video.
I like her and thought she was very effective. And what a great compliment to be compared to Nikki Haley. Gov Haley was wrong on the flag, but other then that she’s been a great ally to our president.
Bush League Republican
How dare he??? When I look at the newly elected pink hats; those are the kind of women that make me cringe. Their agenda is spite and vengeance.
I’ve seen Elise Stefanik on CSPAN and while she doesn’t always vote the way I want, she’s sharp and well spoken/measured. I’m glad she smoke his a$$.
Well, we know his politics, and now we know his thoughts........................
The first part of 'analyst' is................
Stefanik just leapt into stardom yesterday. People will look for her more now.
Plus she’s cute.
Why is our side so afraid to simply respond with “Ok commie”.
OK Pajama boy works, too.
Who are these important news reporters? They never say a nice word about Republicans or Trump. Why even listen to them?
