Was Dick Morris right about election 2004?

Dick Morris, the infamous political consultant to the first Clinton campaign who is now a Republican consultant and Fox News regular, wrote an article for The Hill, in which he made a couple of brilliant points.

"Exit Polls are almost never wrong," Morris wrote. "They eliminate the two major potential fallacies in survey research by correctly separating actual voters from those who pretend they will cast ballots but never do and by substituting actual observation for guesswork in judging the relative turnout of different parts of the state."

He added: "So, according to ABC-TVs exit polls, for example, Kerry was slated to carry Florida, Ohio, New Mexico, Colorado, Nevada, and Iowa, all of which Bush carried. The only swing state the network had going to Bush was West Virginia, which the president won by 10 points."

Which brings us back to Morris and those pesky exit polls that had Karen Hughes telling George W. Bush that he'd lost the election in a landslide.

Yet a few hours after the exit polls were showing a clear Kerry sweep, computerized vote numbers began to come in from the various states and the election was called for Bush. Needless to say, the people voted for John Kerry but the machines voted for George Bush -a fact that clearly proves that this machine-made sweep was the product of hacking. How does Dick Morris seek to cover up this obvious fact?

According to conspiracy theorist, Dick Morris, the exit polls "were sabotaged" to cause people in the western states to not bother voting for Bush, since the networks would call the election based on the exit polls for Kerry. But the networks didn't do that, and had never intended to. It makes far more sense that the exit polls were right - they weren't done on Diebold PCs - and that the vote itself was hacked.

Time to pick your medicine folks. Were the computers hacked or were the exit polls fabricated?

A computers that tabulates votes is easy to manipulate, but how and who is responsible for fabricating exit polls? Can the brilliant Dick Morris, who acted like he was on the committee to re-elect George Bush, answer this simple question?

He probably can, but he prefers to invent conspiracy theories to cover up the fact that Kerry's predictable landslide victory reflects the legitimate result of election 2004.

According to Dick Morris "This was no mere mistake. Exit polls cannot be as wrong across the board as they were on election night. I suspect foul play." Dick Morris is absolutely correct, it is not possible to change the fact that John Kerry's landslide victory in 2004 was reversed through well organized, foul play.

Dick Morris, the prominent, political consultant who is in fact an intelligent political analyst should stop acting like a political whore and should start telling the truth -computers are responsible for stealing the election in 2004

As a matter of fact, it is the failure of Dick Morris' crafted, three-part strategy that was supposed to destroy Senator Kerry's presidential bid, which created the need for the foul play that Dick Morris alludes to. In his own words, Dick Morris wrote;

First, his [Bush's] paid media must attack Kerry’s voting record to define him as an ultraliberal. There are likely those in the White House who are urging Bush to run positive ads. That won’t work. Even if positive ads produce a small, short-term bounce for Bush, events soon will come to dominate, and the impact of those ads likely will evaporate. But if Bush uses the next eight months to educate voters on Kerry’s opposition to the death penalty, his vote against the 1991 Iraq war, his poor attendance record in the past year and his opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act, he could put this election away by defining Kerry right now.

Dick Morris's strategy failed to give Bush the momentum he required to win the election, and now, the joker claims that the Democrats fabricated the exit-polls because they wanted to discourage voters from rushing to the polls.

Needless to say, despite the hoopla that Ohio created, the exit poll which indicated that John Kerry would carry the state of Florida is most fascinating. Were the computers hacked to deliver the Florida vote? It is so difficult to comprehend such a grotesque level of what Morris calls, "foul play" but the evidence clearly indicates that the Florida vote was a product of computer hackery. This is not a conspiracy theory, it is what the evidence proves, because in the state of Florida, every single county with opti scan counters registered more republican votes than registered republicans. Reasonable people would call this statistical impossibility the computer equivalent of "dead men voting". Is Dick Morris prepared to recognize the fact that foul play is responsible for denying John Kerry his predictable landslide victory?
