Dick Morris is in CYA mode.

As Election Day approaches, we must be very sensitive to last minute changes in the polls. Remember that President George W. Bush fell from a 4 point lead into a tie over the last weekend in 2000 and Clinton rose from a tie to a 5 point win in the last weekend of 1992.

With that caution in mind, a danger signal comes from the latest Rasmussen Poll reflecting a two point gain for Obama. Whereas before the storm, Rasmussen showed Romney two ahead, he now has the race tied at 48-48.
That is troublesome.

And, in Pennsylvania, Romney led on Wednesday night by two points but on Thursday night’s polling, he was tied.We have also seem slippage for Romney in Michigan.

More troubling, Rasmussen shows a two point gain for Obama in job approval rising from 48% to 50% in the current poll.

promising Romney would win in a landslide. Guess that ain't working out.

No I don't think Dick is dumb enough to have believed the landslide stuff.

Okay. I understand that both sides have their partisan hacks. And yes, there are people out there that just want to be preached too. But at some point don't conservatives have to say themselves.... "Enough! Stop lying to me!"


How does FOX news continue to employe him?


BTW... I don't think we have anyone on the Left that is close to equal with regard to the ridiculousness of their predictions.

I remember that election. It was the first I was able to vote in (just missed 1988) and it was clear Clinton was going to win at least a week (actually longer) before election day. Everyone saw it coming.
