Dick Morris seals Romney campaign's doom - stands by prediction of 325 Electoral Votes

The toe-sucker's latest 180-degrees-from reality prediction should give the president what he needs for the final push to defeat Willard

Dick Morris appeared on a special Sunday broadcast of FOX News' "On the Record" with host Greta van Susteren to reaffirm his prediction that Mitt Romney will win Tuesday's presidential election in a landslide. Morris discussed the states he believes Romney will win and the number of electoral votes he predicts the Republican candidate will end up with.

Morris says Romney will capture 325 electoral votes while Obama will get 213, a significant difference.

"It will be the biggest surprise in recent American political history," Morris said. "It will rekindle the whole question on why the media played this race as a nailbiter where in fact Romney’s going to win by quite a bit."

Morris tells van Susteren pollsters are oversampling Democrats and says a poll that claims Obama is up 3, really means Romney is winning by 4.

Why would he go out on a limb like this unless he knew for a proven fact that Fox viewers could not care less about facts or history?

....he will continue to contaminate the airwaves with his garbage, and I assume he is paid rather nicely for doing it.

Very sad.

Our totally unbiased "friends" at unskewedpolls.com.

They are also predicting a Mittens win at 311 to 227 here: http://www.examiner.com/article/mitt-romney-likely-election-day-victory-indicated-by-latest-polls?cid=db_articles

Dean Chambers was kind of enough to call out his friend Dick Morris in the article.

The last Republican to sweep the Electoral College and get over 300 EV was Bush I in 1988.

A lot of people in the media never bother to mention that. You have to go back 24 years to find an election in which the Republicans had numbers like that. W. never got to 300 EV.

By contrast, the Democrats have gotten 300 Electoral Votes 3 times over the past 20 years. (1992, 1996 & 2008.)

The odds of Obama getting to 300 EV are much greater than that for Romney.

OK, Dick Morris is an idiot, we all know that. But George Will is no fool and he's also predicting a Romney landslide. Do they really believe this or is it just a cynical attempt to influence voters?

One thing for sure, many Rethug voters are convinced that Romney IS going to win by a landslide.

Which confirms what I've always felt. Not all Rethugs are stupid and/or ignorant, BUT MOST STUPID/IGNORANT PEOPLE ARE RETHUGS!
