Dick Morris Calls Todd Akin Scandal ‘A Big Plus For Romney’

How do we know that the Rep. Todd Akin debacle is going to be devastating for Mitt Romney? Dick Morris called it a “big plus for Romney” on the O’Reilly Factor last night. Kind of like Hurricane Katrina was going to be a “huge positive for Bush,” eh?

The discussion started with guest host Laura Ingraham trying to use the Akin story to attack the Democrats – because it’s their fault we’re talking about this instead of the important issues. Meaning, I suppose President Obama’s “you didn’t build that” comment or Vice President Biden’s “chains” remark.

But not to worry, Morris assured her. He said:

I think that story is a big plus for Romney right now because the story is not that some kooky Republican Congressman running for the Senate said something stupid. That was the first story. Now the story is that the responsible leaders of the Republican Party – Romney and McConnell and Ryan and all of them – are piling on Akin to withdraw and he won’t. And that really sends a message to pro-choice women that they don’t have to be afraid of Mitt Romney, that they don’t have to vote for Obama because of that. And I think Romney is spinning this beautifully and it’s defanging the fear motivation in getting Democrats out to vote, particularly Democratic women out to vote for Obama.

But don't worry liberal haters. Fox will be blaming us again for a Republican's cruel stupidity in no time.

What in the world is Morris going to do on the day after the election? For that matter, what will Hannity and O’Reilly do? Anyone want to take odds that they’re going to replace themselves for at least the first night to avoid the embarassment?

Anne-Claired, my favorite was the rock solid prediction that Hillary and Condi would battle it out for President in 2008.

The guy is a total tool, a perv and a wack job. The gift that keeps on giving.

Dick Morris is without a doubt the biggest asshole on faux news! He’s the only one that even O’Reilly and Hannity roll their eyes with his elaborate theories of doom and gloom for the democrats! I watched him do a piece on Hannity last week where he predicted victory for the GOP in every swing state. They just don’t get any more biased then Dick Morris! lol

According to little Dickie, it would also be a big plus if MagicUnderwear Man was caught sucking on a whore’s toes in a Washington DC hotel.

Dick Morris said: “that really sends a message to pro-choice women that they donât have to be afraid of Mitt Romney.”

So are you saying that Gov. Romney is a shameless opportunist who only opposes abortion rights for the sake of political expediency?

Noted.

First, the Supreme Court upholding ACA was “a victory for Romney”. . .

. . . now, Todd Akin inserting his foot into his mouth {and refusing to remove it} is likewise “a big plus for Romney”.

If the hurricane that’s scheduled to make landfall next week does so at Tampa and disrupts the GOP convention, will that also be “a big plus for Romney”?
