I’d say using the word “respect” in reference to Dick Morris is a highly questionable idea. As to his political prognostications and such, it seems he’s been wrong more often than he’s been right. Somehow, that doesn’t keep him from collecting the big bucks for it, though.
Morris just uses the shotgun approach. When you make 20 conflicting predictions in two days a couple are bound to come true. You play up your hits and people forget about the misses. Sports commentators have been on to this for years.
