Dick Morris, who just days ago predicted a landslide for Romney, now sees danger signs!

The confidence of Dick Morris in a Romney landslide has been shaken this afternoon!

Dick Morris Sees Danger Signs

Dick Morris, who just days ago predicted a landslide for Mitt Romney, may be wavering.

"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."

The point is that he and other right-wingers were relying on only Rasmussen polls, so seeing Rasmussen drop Romney's leads/gains today has shaken them.

R-Assmussen polls are typically one day deals.

You can be guaranteed if they had a poll with RMoney ahead in PA, they would have rushed its publication and timed it for the Romney bluff announcement.

shouldn't hold up against the red tsunami that is going to flood over the country come Tuesday, right?

One thing Chris Matthews said recently I agreed with was "Why would anybody ever, ever, ever, no matter who pays him—Roger Ailes, whoever—ever listen to what Dick Morris has to say about anything?

HOW OBVIOUS DID THIS TOE SUCKER MAKE IT??? Sorry, but I cannot believe how anyone could go from Romney landslide to this in one day. He has balls, I'll say that much.

Romney is currently leading in every state McCain carried plus: Indiana, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, and Colorado. If he carries these states, he’ll have 228 electoral votes of the 270 he needs to win.

To win the election, Romney would then have to carry Florida where he trails by two points, and either Virginia (behind by two) or Ohio where he’s down by only one.

and Axelrod is confident.

The margin may not match '08 but it ain't gonna be '00 or '04 either.

on the move - scrambling to get out of Obama's way.

Exhibit #1:
Morris claim "And, in Pennsylvania, Romney led on Wednesday night by two points but on Thursday night's polling, he was tied."
