Blunders would be more accurate. It is amazing how incompetent the regimes campaign has been.

Morris has been saying for months now that Obama is going to lose and lose big due to his horrible record. So why is he now attributing it to a blunder?

His blunder is pretty obvious. Plunking all of his chips down on Obamacare, which almost nobody likes (not even the Libs, as they are truly Single Payer fans at heart) when the country wanted him to focus on the economy.

Not that his Marxist prescriptions would have fixed the economy, but the perception was created that he was ignoring it in order to push the all-too-unpopular health plan.

[So why is he now attributing it to a blunder?]

He wrote and published a whole book in 2007 dedicated to the 2008 presidential race between Condi Rice and Hillary Clinton. When Morris appears on Bill O’Reilly’s it's not so much about political commentary as it is about entertainment. Broadcast journalism is show biz costumed as news.

Morris’ point is the polls aren’t really moving despite big tv buys (basically tied in registered voters, slight lead for Romney in likely voters) and Obama is playing a turnout game. He’s trying to get his base back to 08 levels by moving left and attacking Romney. Morris says the attacks aren’t really having much effect because Romney is never going to scare a majority of American Voters like say a Newt would have.

The blunder, in Morris’ view, is Obama should have returned to hope&change generalities and reminded people why they liked him in the first place.

Morris like all political consultants are more or less political whores, loyal to the ones currently paying or patting them on their head.

That said, Morris has possibly more “inside dem info” than anyone talking conservative. He has a grudge against dems because of the klintoons. That's good enough for me to at least listen to what he has to say.

As to his sex foibles, let the one without sin cast the first stone.

Where are the GOP Ads showing video of OBAMA promising a transparent administration and public healthcare hearings carried on CSPAN

And showing OBAMACARE was passed literally in the middle of the night to "Save His Presidency"

He is mostly wrong and just talks in circles and general platitudes.

BTW I think your tag line fits for Morris. Is this Dick?

Morris has more credibility than say the bald cajun (Carville), who wrote a book in 2009 decreeing 40 years of Democrat Party Rule...

Thanks for a good, concise summary. I really didn’t want to watch the video.

So you will be changing your tagline to “ give in and give up or sit down and shut up”?

Its from Blue Oyster Cult... ON YOUR FEET OR ON YOUR KNEES.

When Morris predicts something that we all would like to come to pass it is a worrisome thing, perhaps downright depressing. Morrises’s batting average is abysmal for predictions. Only one that I know of came to pass.Generally it is wise to pay close attention to a Morris prediction and bet the other way. When he says that Obama will LOSE! it may just be that for the thoughtful person it is time to emigrate and that time is getting short.

That sounds like Ben Stern father of the once funny Howard Stern.
