How Clinton Will Win The Nomination by Losing South Carolina
A Commentary By Dick Morris
Wednesday, January 23, 2008

Hillary Clinton will undoubtedly lose the South Carolina primary as African-Americans line up to vote for Barack Obama. And that defeat will power her drive to the nomination.

The Clintons are encouraging the national media to disregard the whites who vote in South Carolina’s Democratic primary and focus on the black turnout, which is expected to be quite large. They have transformed South Carolina into Washington, D.C. — an all-black primary that tells us how the African-American vote is going to go.

1. This is bullshit
Why anyone would post anything that Dick Morris says is beyond me - I guess it doesn't matter that he's a bloviating idiot - until he spurts out something that is consistent with some DUer's anti-candidate hate and then he's suddenly worth listening to?

Morris is an ass. And his attempts to gin up racial divide is reprehensible, but hardly surprising for a discredited has-been whose hatred for the Clintons is surpassed only by his desire to be seen as relevant again.

3. If the Clintons can control the MSM,
how come the Washington Post, which I read daily in the 90s, published almost all NEGATIVE stories about the Clintons (starting with the statement that the then 12-year-old Chelsea had "fat legs")?

How come the Post and other newspapers printed those false stories about Clinton trashing Air Force One on the front page?

How come the TV news anchors and pundits published so many negative stories?

The story in South Carolina is that African Americans are supporting Obama, not Hillary. And African American voters in South Carolina have clout!

4. Sour grapes ... over a probable WIN?
This isn't even entertaining irony.

5. Dick Morris is consistently wrong about everything, going back to 2003.
Edited on Wed Jan-23-08 11:15 AM by Connie_Corleone
I'm not going to start listening to him now.

On edit: He said back in 2003 that Hillary was going to jump into the 2004 race late.

6. Oh, I don't agree with what he says...
Especially about the national media ignoring what white voters will do in SC.

The national media isn't going to ignore an opportunity to propagate the racial element in any election. That's why that demographic is always in the exit polling.

7. When her surrogates started throwing race into the equation I felt this is where they were going
If aggravating race relations is what it takes to win, she'll do it.

8. There is a distinct hatred from morris towards hrc. he can write
things so off the wall in the hopes people will say, Yes, he's right about the clintons. He puts this shit out there in hopes it sticks. It will not be the clintons that encourage the media to report on the outcome of south carolina, they will do this themselves. They will have to report the breakdown of the vote. Maybe they will and maybe they want, but this is where morris tries this backwards way of accusing the clintons.....

Point: it was morris that embarassed the cintons by him being involved with a prostitute and toe sucking. and instead of the clintons or carville lashing out at him on the day of the acceptance speech in 96 they offered their hand sof friendship, and how does morris pay back them back, by appearing on fox and being as mean towards hrc as possible....the last time morris had dealings with the clintons was 1996......and people believe this.....

9. Dick Morris is a weird guy with a terrible facial tic who has based his entire career on
mocking his former boss. He's been 12 steps removed from her for so long, how does he have the vaguest idea what she's thinking,
as he claims to?

Only, in his case, he's parlayed his "disgruntled employer" syndrome into big buck$.

Uch. Just uch!!!
