Here comes the landslide
The Hill [Washington DC], by Dick Morris

Original Article

Posted By:Dreadnought, 10/31/2012 9:02:20 AM

Voters have figured out that President Obama has no message, no agenda and not even much of an explanation for what he has done over the past four years. His campaign is based entirely on persuading people that Mitt Romney is a uniquely bad man, entirely dedicated to the rich, ignorant of the problems of the average person. As long as he could run his negative ads, the campaign at least kept voters away from the Romney bandwagon. But once we all met Mitt Romney for three 90-minute debates, we got to know him — and to like him. He was not the monster Obama depicted, but a reasonable

I saw obamas Calif ad and it was full of lies. It said he created over 5,000,000 jobs!!

Unemployment in Los Angeles is over 11% (forget the fake number from obama/Jerry Brown) and near 40% in the Central Valley.

From your fingers to God's ears, Mr. Morris.

On a side note, I watched Morris' twitter feed during the debate, and he was very, very accurate in how he believed the debates would play out in the polls and people's reaction to them.

Let's get out and vote, and make it happen!

The ONLY "kiss of death" out here is the one that is being planted on obama and his leftist-criminal-enterprise-administration by intelligent voters, unlike the kool-aid-drinking-demonrats who put obama in the W.H. I agree with #2, and say thank you, Dick Morris for your positive articles. Unlike sites like huffpo and the "kos", where it seems "some" have wandered over from to take a few last potshots at Mitt Romney..Sad. Looks like "some" just don't want to face reality. After Nov 6, they won't have a choice. Go, Romney/Ryan!

I'm hopeful. Almost every poll shows Romney with a lead, but a small lead (except Gallup). Obama's gameplan appears to be winning the electoral college while losing the popular vote - an awfully risky gameplan for an incumbent.

Sorry, I agree with above posters. Dick Morris is consistently wrong. He makes big, bold statements and he is rarely correct.

He did predict an Obama in ... with a few days to go in the campaign and MSM in full campaign mode.

A landslide? Let's all just get to the polls, shall we? And pray.

Don't be sand-bagged. We must work as though R&R are behind. Turnout is key. Block and tackle. Don't rely on Dick.

Morris has a mixed track record, but I believe him to be mostly correct on Romney, and believe him to be correct on the wretched strategy advanced by missie barack.
I'm not so sure on the senate races. It would be nice to see the senate go republican, and with a new leader in the senate. Mitch McConnell is not my choice.


Reply 11 - Posted by: Deedo, 10/31/2012 10:19:52 AM     (No. 8976590)

The biggest reason that I believe that Romney will out-perform all the polls is due to the underlying sampling rates between GOP and Democrats.

Many left-leaning polls use the 2008 turnout percentages, which had Democrats +8% over GOP. I think Rasmussen uses and average between 2004 and 2008 (could be wrong, but he does not totally rely on 2008), which is why his numbers tend to trend higher for the GOP.

But there are 2 reasons that I see that are overlooked by the pollsters which lay the foundation for a surprisingly big Romney win. The first is that GOP registrations since 2008 have been much greater than for the Democrats, with many crossover registrations (high single digit advantage I believe). So there are more GOP and fewer Dems today than in 2008.

The second reason is that there is a huge motivation gap among the Left between 2008 and today. Then, it was the End of Bush and the election of the first black president. Record numbers of Democrats turned out to vote as enthusiasm was at an all time high. I expect that enthusiasm to be all but gone. None of the polls take motivation into consideration, other than a soft, "likely to vote" assessment (which is not exactly the same).

The mainstream media never predicts a Republican sweep. I remember how they were all stunned in 2010 and in 1994.

In spite of what Morris says, we know what Obama has done for the past four years: Campaign, fundraise, play golf, travel, and send Moochie on expensive vacations and spending sprees; All on the taxpayer's money.

From a gut standpoint...the 2006 election was an indicator of 2008... 2010 was the greatest congressional blowout since the 1920's...and what has changed...more debt, Solyndra, Fast and Furious,unemployment through the roof and now Benghazigate ...your gut has to tell you that this won't be close because of the state of the country

Everyone: It is up to us to make it a landslide.

I believe that Morris predicted the 2010 sweep within a couple of seats. He kept saying it would be a blow out. He was right.

The 538 guy in The New York Times just increased Obama's chance of winning the election to something like 78%.

Somebody is going to have major egg on his face next week. I hope it's the 538 guy.

Whoa! Morris is not exactly out on a limb, all alone, in his prediction. So why dismiss it just because he says it?

Sometimes I believe we are the lemmings: If he says it, it is true. But if (another) he says it, it has to be false. Even if both are saying the same thing.

There is no logic there.

I love the rhetoric here. But, the truth is, we are in a furious struggle for the future of our nation, our heritage and our freedom. We are up against some of the most entrenched socialistic goons since the Russian Revolution. Our main stream, core media giants have almost all been co-opted by the fiercest brand of the socialists, and peopled by millions of Stalin's infamous "useful idiots". Our educations systems have been wholly absorbed by them, including the vast majority of teachers who have tremendous influence over the minds of our youth. This election- this very one- above all the others in our entire history, including the 1860 election that led to the Great American Civil War, is by far the most critical to the very survival of our future as a free people. The leftists know it as their one, last chance in a long time to finally crush our freedom and our Constructional rights. They will fight like demons and will refuse acceptance of defeat. This is not over. Not by a very long shot!

Polls, schmolls. Remember 2010 for the latest reminder.

This is about electing a president. The winner is always determined by two considerations:

1) our wallet

2) which candidate makes us feel better

I've placed my bet on Intrade.

My son has finished his Eagle Project, but he is waiting to finish the paper work hoping that Mitt wins. He doesn't want Obummer's name his Eagle Certificate!
My older son had no choice in the matter. Obummer's name is on his! Jimmy won't frame it because of that. I don't know if we can get one without Obummer's name on it? If we can, Jimmy will be happy to do that!
If Mitt wins, Brian will wait until Romney is sworn in for his Board of Review! But if, and God forbid, Obummer wins, he will make a request that Obummer's name not appear his certificate!

Yup. Ol' Dick is always wrong. Except those times he ticked off one by one which candidates were done in the primaries. And of course those times when he gave Clinton the advise that got him re-elected and turned his congressional defeat into a presidential plus. (welfare reform)

Me 'n Old Dick aren't on each other's Christmas Card lists, but he did sit next to me in the Medford Oregon airport earlier in the year. When we made eye contact he instantly knew he'd sat next to a brain-picker. Before I could form a question his phone rang and he exited the area. I was still a Newt supporter at the time and wanted to know his thoughts.

As far as Romney goes, I see signs that he could be the best President (and best person to be President) in my lifetime... an even greater contrast after following the hands-down worst in both catagories.

Liberals used to love to quote the (apparently apocryphal) line from a Sinclair Lewis character “When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and waving a cross.” Wonder if they’re reflecting on that this week? We knew that early in the first term, the White House attempted to exclude a news agency from pool reports. Now come revelations that the Justice Department engaged in sweeping eavesdropping on AP journalists; that the IRS targeted conservative private citizens while favoring liberal ones; that the EPA charged fees to conservatives groups while waiving them for “green” activists;

MOORE, Okla. — Spotlights bore down on massive piles of shredded cinder block, insulation and metal as crews worked through the night lifting bricks and parts of collapsed walls where a monstrous tornado barreled through the Oklahoma City suburbs, demolishing an elementary school and reducing homes to piles of splintered wood. At least 51 people were killed, including at least 20 children, and those numbers were expected to climb, officials said Tuesday. The storm stripped leaves off trees and left scores of blocks in Moore barren and dark. Rescuers walked through neighborhoods where Monday´s powerful twister flattened home after home

The 161-year-old company, based in a state with some of the stricter gun control laws in the nation, tried to diversify its holdings by acquiring a security company in recent years, only to do an “about-face” by focusing on its product line, the newspaper said in its explanation of the Springfield firm’s top spot. “We went back to what we do best, which is handguns,”

Journalists, First Amendment watchdogs and government transparency advocates reacted with outrage Monday to the revelation that the Justice Department had investigated the newsgathering activities of a Fox News reporter as a potential crime in a probe of classified leaks. Critics said the government’s suggestion that James Rosen, Fox News’s chief Washington correspondent, was a “co-conspirator” for soliciting classified information threatened to criminalize press freedoms protected by the First Amendment.

Perhaps no other IRS official is more intimately associated with the tax agency´s growing scandal than Lois Lerner, director of the IRS’s Exempt Organizations Division. Since admitting the IRS harassed hundreds of conservative and Tea Party groups for over two years, Lerner has been criticized for a number of untruths—including the revelation that she apparently lied about planting a question at an American Bar Association conference where she first publicly acknowledged IRS misconduct. Still, Lerner has her defenders in the government and the media. Shortly after the scandal broke, The Daily Beast published an article headlined "IRS Scandal’s Central

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.
