I think if one made a map at random,it would still make more sense than that garbage.

I don't know what map everyone's looking at, but the one that I see when I clicked on the link shows

If anything, this map is clearly predicting a solid Obama victory.


Exactly. If Dick Morris is predicting a solid Obama victory, then I am very disturbed.

WTF? Does he just randomly make up his predictions?

That's what makes him "extraordinaire."

You know, when I read this on the extraordinare's website, I thought there was something dodgy about it. Then I realized what it was. Check out Dick's editorial for Rasmussen four (!) days ago:

Completely atrocious, even by Dick's standards. You know, I think this is a new record for him. Proven wrong in no less than four days.

from his last map I thought he was just being a partisan hack to please the newsmax crowd. Now it appears he is just an idiot. Unless this is some kind of attempt to scare the base.

I love this man. I'm at my campus' tech center and I'm struggling to control my laughter. I don't know what's better - TN and LA as tossups or AR being lean Obama.

At least he has Iowa right now. Florida is now solid Obama, Arkansas of all places is lean Obama, and Louisiana is now a tossup. I don't understand why he still has a job being a political analyst.

Maybe he uses the 2000 election results as a base-line and then messes up a couple of times?

Oh my God. I just noticed that AZ is apparently a tossup, too. This man is a genius.

Oh! Apparently the part of Virginia on the Delmarva Peninsula is now a seperate state.

Hahahaha, as if the map couldn't get anymore hilarious, now apparently Dick's such an extraordinare he's able to point out that Virginia is lean Obama, but the Delmarva Peninsula is a tossup!

Where else could we get such stunningly brilliant, in-depth, and acute electoral college breakdowns, guys?

Dick Morris is the Zogby of political analysis.

edit: Oh, and if you go to the main Newsmax website right now, there's a big headline above the news showing "Breaking News: Dick Morris' 2008 Election Map Shows McCain Losing Even More Ground".

Forget the current financial crisis, Dick Morris' electoral map is the hot topic of the moment!

Oh my god, this is just too funny.  I just realized that he has the Delmarva Peninsula as a tossup by itself.  The funny thing is that that area actually really is a tossup in the Presidential race.

Although I find a vast majority of that map to be quite amusing (particularly West Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona and Louisiana all being considered tossups, not to mention Arkansas leaning towards Obama LOL), the funniest thing about Dick Morris' map is that on his website, they call him a political analyst extraordinaire (as quoted above). Hard to believe people trust him when it comes to these matters, and most importantly every self confessed political expert on the news media.

At least he does something different than the pollsters. If there is one state exactly like this, and McCain (like it was a couple of weeks ago) or Obama (now) wins this state surprisingly, he will say: Told you so!

What's really bad about this map is not how inaccurate it is, but it's that he flat out lies. He claims right in the lower corner that it's based on current polls. I'd be interested to see these Arkansas polls he has that show Obama ahead. Just like I'd be curious to see what Colorado polls he was looking at before that had it as solid McCain or what Iowa polls he saw showing McCain ahead sufficiently to rate it lean McCain.

More like 1992 or 1996 results.  His map looks like a slight tweak of one of those years.  It appears that he's pretending there's been little to no movement in the electorate since 1996.

Ugh - the "ugh-ness" of this man never ceases to amaze me.

He's made his career off the Clintons - either being a parasite on Bill or carrying out a vendetta against Hillary.

He's a joke, and it speaks so highly of FNC that they continue to rely on his extraodinary political insight.
