I say Morris is an agent provocateur and still working for the Clintons...
I never liked his leering face... the guy is just creepy...
I am also suspicious of Fox News to an extent, especially after they floated this trial balloon of excluding “2nd tier” candidates from the debates and that a so-called “conservative” like Hannity is licking Julie-Annies nether region...
And Politico.com asked their readers to vote for questions, but ignored the voters.
The submitted questions that voters voted for which received the most votes were not asked.
For instance, here’s the number 1 submitted question that voters voted for re: Duncan Hunter:
“by Sunnie on 04.26.2007 at 01:15 PM
Question is for: Duncan Hunter
Topic Is: Immigration
I feel that you have been the most effective candidate in actually accomplishing the tightening of our borders by having a 14-mile fence built, which greatly lessoned crime in San Diego. As president what will you do to further secure our borders?
http://dyn.politico.com/debate/showquestions.cfm?page=1&sb=rc&cd=0&tp=0&submit=Search “
But instead, 3 different questions were voted on AGAIN, just before the debate, and one of them was chosen instead.
The readers of politico.com who submitted questions for Duncan Hunter, and voters who spent time voting for days, or weeks before the debate, just wasted their time.
Shame on Politico.com for misleading us.
And shame on Chris Wallace for asking so many lefty or P.C. questions.
“Actually, the one who got the least amount of time of all 10 candidates PERIOD was Hunter, with only 5.5 minutes in total.”
They better do better next time, and we should all contact them and tell them this should not happen again just before the next debate, but at least we know that Duncan Hunter said more in 5.5 minutes than any other candidate said in more time.
“..He’s the best predictor of elections I’ve ever seen. ..”
I don’t see that in Morris. How many examples do you have of that?
Morris even thought there was a strong chance that Hillary was going to run in 2004, which he probably just said to get some attention for himself.
In 2002 he predicted that the dems would hold congress. In 2004 he predicted that Kerry would win. After that I was chagrined when he predicted that the republicans would hold congress.
I would not take the other side of that bet, even if I was I a gambling man.
I like Fred Thompson’s mind, but he makes Dick Cheney look like an engaging and exciting speaker.
Hey....I LOVE Dick Cheney!!!! :) I love his SMIRK!! It drives the Libs crazy!!
I think I’m going to wait for a real debate to make any judgments. What MSNBC tried to pass off as a debate was nothing more than an extended version of the Chris Matthews show, complete with Matthews’ asinine questions and total focus on himself.
east amount of time of all 10 candidates PERIOD was Hunter, with only 5.5 minutes in total.”
Correct .... and in the days following the debate I have not heard the name roll off of ANY news reporters lips.
I watched all the sunday shows ...( that I could ) but I never heard the name ONCE!
Duncan Hunter is the one that the libs are really scared of.
“McCain is too old
Rudy is too liberal
Romney is a Mormon”
And I just heard Dick Morris say Fred Thompson “looks” too old. -— that tells me Fred Thompson is a good choice!
Mitt Romney is saying (Hannity) most American’s feel the war has gone badly, it has taken too long, it should have been over long ago! — that comment changes my opinion of Romney.
I will respect any person who can stand up and acknowledge that ... this is a war!! not an hour tv program! Who thought this was an easy task. Who thought this was a slam dunk. Who thought Iraq and Afghanistan were the only countries involved.
They are just the beginning.
