Did anyone hear Dick Morris' theory on the Clintons strategy?
According to Dick Morris, Bill Clinton is purposely pissing people off so that all eyes will be on him and not his wife. And that that was the same strategy they used in '92, when all eyes were on Hillary due to her controversial statements and not Bill.

Do you agree with Morris or is he full of it as usual?

2. i tend to tune Morris out, much less agree with him on things
but, I find it amusing people questioning Bill Clinton and his 'tactics'...the man is a maverick politician and campaigner, he knows what he is doing...believe me

4. Dick Morris is right ...
about as many times as Bill Kristol. Take it with a grain of salt.

5. If it was noon in Death Valley and Dick Morris said the sun was shinning
I'd stick my head out the window to make sure.

6. ".....the same strategy they used in '92"
I think Morris is confusing things.

Hillary wasnt out front in the 92 campagn, no where close to Bill's current efforts.

I think he's mixing up Clinton's win with a minority of votes in the GE over Bush sr. by having a stalking horse in that campagn (Perot) syphoning off votes from the GOP with the current situation where Edwards is playing (maybe not on purpose, but....) the same role in getting Hillary the nomination.

7. Now THAT's what I call shucking and jiving!
The Clinton strategy of a full-on BS blitzkrieg stands in stark contrast to the kind of campaigns Barack and John are running.

9. Surrogates are always used
to make attacks. Nothing new about that.

11. "Surrogates are always used to make attacks. Nothing new about that."
So I guess to be fair Obama should obtain Carter's endorsement and send him out to take aim at Hillary.

Would that be a proper role for an ex-President?

13. The "lady" needs to stand on her own two feet
and stop having her husband do all the fighting for her.

14. Does his theory involve toe sucking?
If not, he's probably not that credible. ;-)

15. The only thing Dick Morris is an expert on is speech impediments and labial tics.
