    I can always count on Dick Morris to tell the truth, backed up with insights.

    So what say ye? Polls accurate? Clinton's former pollsters says they're off. They were way off in the last presidential election, over stating Obama's victory. This year they're skewed even more.

    Is it just me, or is polling data the biggest story of this election cycle? I have a feeling polls are never going to be the same after this, if they miss the mark again. I have a feeling, they've destroying their reputation.

    We will see. The fat lady hasn't even warmed up. It is way to early to predict but I really hope he is right.

    Meh, not really. In their presidential election, Ronald Reagan kicked Jimmy Carter's ass so hard it's a wonder he can bear to sit down to this day, BUT, even Reagan didn't begin pulling ahead of him convincingly until about mid-October of 1980. The power of incumbency is great, even when the person in office is pretty much (sigh!) a failure. Oh, he may be a likeable, entertaining failure, like President Jive-time today. But what the hell -- a failure is a failure....

    yah , they really are voting in some states

    Several states have already begun accepting completed absentee ballots, and in-person early voting has even begun in three states: South Dakota, Idaho and Vermont. As for the swing states, absentee ballots are already being returned in North Carolina, Wisconsin, New Hampshire and Virginia, while in-person early voting starts in the first swing state, Iowa, on Thursday and another, Ohio, next Tuesday.

    Yeah, Morris hits on this a lot. Once thing I'll give Romney is he's a strong finisher. He manages his campaign money well, and seems to end all his races is a nice sprint.

    It is interesting though, the Clinton bounce is gone. What he initially did was bring back party identification to the democrats. But this has subsided and that's good news for Romney.

    Dick! Say it isn't so! A pink shirt? There is no way you are telling me that shirt is salmon. The only men who should ever wear a pink shirt are the leaders of the Giro d'Italia.

    Morris is referred to as the worst pundit in america in the last few years.

    GOP U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina today is ever-so-proudly touting pollster Dick Morris’ prediction: that she will win her 2010 race — and beat incumbent Democrat Barbara Boxer.

    “Not only did Dick Morris predict I can defeat Barbara Boxer on “The Sean Hannity Show,” Fiorina gushed to supporters in a fundraising email today. “He repeated it in “On The Record” With Greta Van Susteren!”

    Dick Morris? The guy who’s been called the “worst pundit in America?”

    Morris, you may recall, wrote that savvy political best-seller — “Condi V. Hillary, the Next Great Presidential Race.”

    That’s right: he confidently predicted the 2008 contest for the White House would come down to two women – and Condi Rice would win.

    “Hillary Clinton is on the trajectory to win the Democratic nomination, and very likely, the 2008 presidential election…She has no serious opposition in her party,” wrote Morris back then. “Condi has the potential to cause enough major defections from the Democratic party to create serious erosion among Hillary’s core voters.”

    Dick Morris fans might also remember some of his other greatest punditry hits:

    *Suggesting that then 2006 U.S. Senate candidate Hillary Clinton would face her worst “nightmare” in GOP candidate Jeanine Pirro

    *Saying Hillary Clinton and Rudy Giuliani would be the “candidates” to beat to the White House in 2008.

    *Predicting President George W. Bush would be bolstered by his administration’s response to Hurricane Katrina, much like he was for 9/11.

    *Saying undecided voters would break for GOP presidential candidate John McCain in 2008.

    *Predicting the populist “turning point” that would spell the end of Barack Obama in the 2008 election would be…Joe the Plumber.

    Yes, that Dick Morris. Yikes.

    The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows both President Obama and Mitt Romney attracting support from 46% of voters nationwide. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and five percent (5%) are undecided. See daily tracking history.

    When “leaners” are included, it’s Romney 48% and Obama 46%. Leaners are those who are initially uncommitted to the two leading candidates but lean towards one of them when asked a follow-up question. Beginning October 1, Rasmussen Reports will be basing its daily updates solely upon the results including leaners.

    Forty-eight percent (48%) of all voters think Obama better understands middle class issues. Forty-two percent (42%) say Romney. But among voters who identify themselves as middle class, Romney has a slight edge.

    Sure seems Romney is exactly where he wants to be. Dead even in the polls with the illusion of him being behind in the liberal media polls. And he has low expectations going into the debates. And he's been saving his money for a campaign blitz in the final days. He seems to also know how to peak at the right times.

    Dick Morris is almost always wrong. We'd all be better off if he was waving his pom poms for Obama.

    And those people haven't even heard any of the debates yet! That means this is the hard-core left and right; who already have their minds made up because of political party and nothing else. Sure hoping ALL those Military absentee votes get counted, though.....seeing has how they favor Romeny by 20% pts.

    Not as many as will make up their mind after the election. My guess is that all of these mysterious, as yet un-identified Romney "leaners" have simply not been polled at all, but are sure to give him a 20 point landslide come November, despite never once leading for a single week in this race, and for continually opening his mouth and letting his own words come out, which is something he's bound to do again in the next few weeks. It is going to be sad for the GOP. I intend to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh at them. 4 more years of reminding them of who our president is will be a marvelous thing.
