Wrong! Dick Morris 'Landslide' Prediction, Weak Explanation

"Behold political analyst Dick Morris the day after his absurd Election 2012 predictions were discredited by reality. "I've got egg on my face," he admitted on his Web site, and I normally wouldn't revel in another man's chagrin, but the next sentence is so breathtakingly shameless that I can't resist. "I predicted a Romney landslide and, instead, we ended up with an Obama squeaker," he wrote. "The key reason for my bum prediction is that I mistakenly believed that the 2008 surge in black, Latino, and young voter turnout would recede in 2012 to 'normal' levels. Didn't happen."

What's so shameless about that?

In the Dick Morris prediction, Mitt Romney was forecast to win by 325 electoral votes, a result Morris labels a "landslide" in his apology. Right now, with Florida still undecided but leaning toward Obama, it's very possible that Obama will win with 332 electoral votes, which Morris calls "an Obama squeaker."* Cenk Uygur breaks down the pre-election and post-election statements made by Morris, and why he deserves your ridicule.

Well compared to Clinton's scandals, that was small beer. While he sounds smart, most of what he says turns out to be junk. He wrote a book b4 the 2008 elections called Hillary vs Condi. so much for his ability to foretell the future

[jennifer wellman]

He was involved in a "Toe sucking scandal" LOL That's how I remember him.

you didn't Play the BEST part of the morning after interview... where dick morris said "... well, this is a sign to the house that the american

people don't want Obama's Socialist agenda, and they should do everything they can to resist it..." - um no, america has spoken and said THEY DO WANT IT (TWICE)!! i wish Dick Morris would have to relive this day from now until eternity (eg. Groundhog day) until he gets it right and understand America is Ready for change.

[Diane Phillipa]

He was wrong because he relied on fantasy and wishful thinking rather than reality!
