Latest: Dick Morris' 2008 Election Map Shows Big Shift for McCain
Newsmax.com ^ | 9/20/08 | Dick Morris

Posted on 09/20/2008 12:15:08 PM PDT by DogBarkTree

There was a gigantic turn toward John McCain in the two weeks immediately after the GOP convention. In large part this was due to the Sarah Palin nomination, and the tremendous miscalculation by the Democrats in attacking Palin — particularly on issues important to women, such as her caring for her children. That backfired massively. The anti-Palin attack by the Democrats showed a cultural disconnect with America that is remarkable.

Even in red states McCain stickers aren’t safe. Liberals will steal or deface anything.

He was right in 2004. He said Bush would win by 2% and he did.

But I’m delighted to see my Socialist state a toss up! Republican headwuarters in my city can’t keep McCain/Palin bumper stickers in stock! So pur on your McCain/Palin bumper stickers and email vociferously to all on your email list.

I hope he’s right. I love listening to Dick Morris trash the Clintons, but his track record on making predictions isn’t very good.

I think Dick is a bit optimistic on behalf of McCain. I have a hard time believing PA, WI and MI are ‘tossup’ states at this point. Until I see McCain ahead in the polls there, I will consider them leaning Obama.

As of when? Today, BHO is ahead slightly in Colo which is a must win for McC. The tracking polls are going BHO’s way - somewhat - certainly not going McC’s way. I think his map is pre-economic meltdown.

Indiana here is “deep red”, as it should be. Dems were fooled into considering Indiana competitive by the large numbers of Republicans crossing over to vote against Obama in the Dem primary.

Colorado is not strongly McCain at all.<

Certainly not around Boulder or Denver, but pretty heavu McCain territory around Colorado Springs with the Air Force Academy, and NORAD.

>The numbers clearly don’t reflect the last week’s economic crisis. So McCain’s numbers should go down.

I think his response to the crisis was far better than Obama’s. I’m not sure that it will hurt McCain.

“I think Dick is a bit optimistic on behalf of McCain.”

Agreed. He has been a strong voice for McPalin on FNC lately, but I think some of this map reflects his rooting interest.

It already has hurt McCain.

For comparison purposes, some interesting maps of the 2004 election:

Do you have a link to a poll showing this? Or better yet, more than one poll.

No, it’s not really that close to reality. McCain has not led in one single IA poll; he has trailed in five of the last six NM.

Maybe so on some things, but no way we take New Mexico. Voter fraud there on the Indian reservations and in counties with tons of illegals is well documented.

Obama carries NM.

Same thing in Washington. King County will "magically" come up with enough votes to outweigh the rest of the McCain votes statewide so that Obama wins; same thing that happened in 2000 with Slade Gorton when Maria Cantwell stole the Senate seat from him.

That map is a joke, or Morris is delusional.

They’re toss ups now. Lastest Rasmussen polls show McCain only down 2 points in Washington and Wisconsin, down 4 in Oregon.
