5. Dicky the toe sucker
is always wrong indeed. I heard him on some radio show saying that if Bush would just verthrow the Iranian government his poll numbers would go way up.

10. Dick Morris is often right
The problem is, he lies a lot, and he's wrong a lot, so you never know when to believe him.

He was once very good at the political game, though. He's worth hearing out, just not worth trusting.

4. Yup. I called it first, Dick.
This election hinges on the women because the majority of men polled are unhinged; totally incapable of any deep thought. Sorry guys, but you're being played and the women are onto it.

6. CNN: manufacturing momentum for bush
gallup is on on the deal too ...

using the political strategy known as "nothing succeeds like success", the bushies know all too well that they cannot survive the endless stream of bad news from Iraq, the economy and the parade of "kiss and tell" books ...

their only hope is to manufacture momentum by convincing voters that "all is well" ... don't believe all that bad news ... look, the president is even gaining ground in the polls ... nothing to see here ... just go back to sleep ...

this strategy may work briefly as a stop gap measure, but the election is too far away and there's plenty of bad news on the way ... bush is stuck in the toaster ...

14. you would be a duck out of water
to believe that somehow that "this strategy may work briefly as a stop gap measure"

WRONG

They won't take another poll till the day before the election

They will keep using this same one from here on out.

Too bad huh.....

7. When even (urp) Dick Morris sees that Bush is in trouble,
believe it.

And his ideas for Bush to appeal to women are laughable. Women know when their child is being short-changed at school because of Bush, and they see their husbands and themselves suffer from lack of jobs.

Bush, give it up. You will NEVER appeal to Jane-Six-Pack because she has her feet on the ground and that macho act doesn't sway her.

8. The women's vote will again mean victory for Dems
The genders see the War on Terror in totally different terms. Rasmussen reports that men, by 51 percent to 36 percent, say that the U.S. is safer than it was before 9/11. But women are evenly divided, with 41 percent feeling more safe and 42 percent, less.

Women disagree with the entire Bush strategy of fighting terrorism. Offered a choice between "letting terrorists know we will fight back aggressively" and "working with other nations," men opt for fighting aggressively by 53 to 41 percent while women want us to work with other nations instead by 54 to 36 percent - a gender gap of 30 points.

snip.....

Then, he was a "compassionate conservative" committed to leaving "no child behind." Now he needs to speak of the human toll exacted by Saddam Hussein when he ran Iraq. He should speak about saving the children of that beleaguered nation. At home, he has to explain why a democratic - or at least a stable - Iraq means more safety for our families. He should discard the military-macho rhetoric and the bureaucratic references to American "credibility" and focus on values, human beings, children and hope.

If Bush permanently alienates women by his words and tone in the War on Terror, he'll throw away the issue that he needs to carry him into a second term.

9. I don't take stock in polls, it's too early.
And I damn sure don't pay attention to Dick Morris. Never have, never will.

11. Dick Morris is a creep
"I had thought - and hoped - that Bush could open up a big lead in the two months after Kerry locked up the Democratic nomination. After all, Kerry is, in fact, way too liberal for the average American voter. But Bush's negative ads - though good, plentiful, and on target - lost their impact in April. "


This coming from a guy who froliked and sucked toes of prostitutes...geeze...what a creep.

13. when snakes do analysis....
Dick Morris is a toe-sucking opportunistic treasonous snake. But regardless, if a snake can run numbers/do analysis and the basis for the analysis is correct, the snake may have a point.

16. I don't trust Morris either, but it makes sense that undecided
voters are obviously not strongly tied to a party. That's why all the candidates try so hard for their vote.

I think we should check his info on the final voting stats in those past elections. If it's true that most undecideds vote against the incumbant, he might be right this time.

17. the womens vote will plummet
with talk of the draft. I know many who don't follow the war at all, but if their kids may be drafted suddenly they are interested.
