DICK MORRIS: MCCAIN IN TROUBLE

I know DM switches his opinion as often as the wind, but it's still a fun read:

The Sarah Palin effect has run its course and the election, driven by the economy and the recent financial crisis, has moved back to its pre-convention pattern with a slight Obama lead, averaging 2 points in the popular vote.

Because small changes in the popular vote cause huge swings in the electoral vote, a number of key states have moved into Obama's column. Florida may now be said to be leaning for Obama while Ohio, Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas, Colorado, and Nevada have become toss ups.

It is clear that McCain must swing the economy around to become an issue

that works in his favor if he is to have a shot at winning. A 2 point Obama edge may not seem like much, but it is enough to produce a big electoral win and it is very hard for McCain to overtake such a lead.

1. In what fantasy world...

...does he think Colorado is a "toss up"? Obama owns Colorado. The RCP average has Obama up over 5 points there.

6. He probably doesn't like the aroma of McCain's shoes

His feet lack that piquant, provocative, spicy, zestful, je ne sais quoi that Morris is so fond of and smell more like old moldy cheese from the ice box.

8. "averaging 2 points in the popular vote" :o) Don't ever change, Dick.

"It is clear that McCain must swing the economy around to become an issue."

Yes, those poor gullible voters just aren't focusing on the economy right now.

10. Buzz buzz

McCain is cracking and then he has a little fly like Morris around to irritate him even more.

It's pretty funny.
