How accurate has Dick Morris been lately?

I know that he was Clinton's personal pollster, but how good was he?

Romney also “should” win in a a landslide because Obama is a God-awful leftist disaster.

Morris is ALWAYS wrong. ALWAYS. Wish he wasn't.

He predicted a 100 seat gain in the House and takeover of the Senate in '10.

Good question... I’d like to see Morris’s correct/incorrect percentage before putting credence in any of his predictions.

I think one would win if you placed bets opposite of Morris’s predictions.

They said Jerry Cooney SHOULD beat the Champ Larry Holmes in June of ‘82, because Cooney had the ‘big bat’.

Of course 0bama wouldn’t even count for a speck of fecal matter in Holmes shorts, but Romney IS the political equivalent of Cooney.

I think he's right about Romney or anyone else winning in a landslide against obama.

At this point, I have not heard a reason to vote for either, but Romney won't need my vote or support to beat obama.

My sense is, the October Surprise this election will go against obama and the DNC in a major way. They're done.

People were fed up almost from the beginning and now those who aren't simply fed up are downright frightened.

My wife got a call from an Obama pollster yesterday asking her how likely she was to vote for him this year. She replied "no way" and said the pollster was shocked at her frank response.

I told her she should have replied "undecided" so they would keep calling back.

The guy is consistently wrong, and yet people still ask him. Not sure how that works.

This is the worst news I’ve seen in a while. If I were in the Obama camp, this would make me happy.

He makes some good points, but Dick Morris’ main job is to sell Dick Morris. And the biggest customer for Dick Morris is FOX News.

It doesn’t mean he’s wrong.

I'd love to be a political pundit on cable news.

I could spend my life making incorrect & misguided predictions & suffer no ill effects as the news channels will keep asking me back.

What a gig!

This from the guy who was certain the 2008 race would between Hillary and Condi.

[If anyone else said it, I might believe. From Morris? He is about as accurate in his predictions as Jean Dixon was.]

Given Morris’ track record, this is pretty much the kiss of death for the Romney campaign.

Not terribly. He tends to exaggerate his points. I wouldn't dismiss what he says but I would want others confirming it.

Morris knows how to read polls.

Where he goes wrong is when he extends himself to conjecture far afield from that. (E.g, Hillary vs. Condi in 2008)
