Why does including Perry make Paul's numbers double? Huh

Because it's most likely a crappy poll.

Dick Morris probably has the worst looking website I've ever seen, especially for someone a major outlet like FOX News takes seriously.  A 6th grader could probably do a better job.

They asked the two candidate questions back-to-back after a string of questions on Ryan's budget. The most likely explanation is that the second question acted as a push on leaners. Notice how the undecided dropped dramatically on the second candidate list. There were also a number of rearrangements as leaners shifted their choices.

He also let the sixth grader try his hand at contributing political cartoons to the site.

Dick decided to make up some numbers and label it a "poll"? Cool!

Does Perry running create a hatred of Perry but love of Texans or what?

consider the source...

Anyone remember those hilarious Dick Morris maps from 2008?

September - McCain's got this thing wrapped up


by October - Obama's winning McCain's home state!

LOL.

Arkansas "Strong Obama" ?

Every poll out of Arkansas had Obama down by at least 7 points and he predicted it to go strongly for Obama ?

What was this guy smoking at the time ?

You know how everything about Dick Morris is stuck in the 1990's? I guess he still thought Bill Clinton was the Democratic nominee.

What's wrong with the map? Where to start. HI as only lean Obama and four weeks later AZ is only lean Obama.

Anyway there was an extensive thread on this here at the Atlas full of "what a moron" and "LOL"s from all sides. CLICKY HERE TO READ

Bear in mind that these maps were for NewsMax, which led me to surmise that the first one was to buck up the readers and the second one was to scare them into not staying home on election day.

The map would've been perfectly reasonable for a Bill Clinton landslide 20 years ago.  Not so much an Obama landslide.  Tennessee?  Louisiana?  Arkansas?  West Virginia?  These were some of Obama's worst states for a reason.

Dick Morris lost touch with the country the day Clinton fired him and is still in his 1995 timewarp.
