Now I am sure we will win.
I only wish I could make millions of dollars by being spectacularly wrong about everything.
Some of his predictions:
Morris touted Pirro's chances against Clinton in 2006 Senate race. As Media Matters has documented, in columns in The Hill and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and appearances on Fox News in 2005, Morris repeatedly touted New York Republican Jeanine Pirro's 2006 Senate campaign against Clinton. Morris asserted, regarding Clinton running for a second Senate term, "[T]he first thing I would tell Hillary, if I were advising Hillary, is you're crazy to run for the Senate." He also asserted that Clinton "might just take a pass" rather than face Pirro in the election, and even stated, "My bet is that Clinton thinks the better of it and drops out of the race if Pirro comes on strong." However, it was Pirro -- not Clinton -- who, trailing badly in polls, dropped out of the race on December 21, 2005.
Morris predicted Lazio would defeat Clinton in 2000 Senate race; Clinton went on to win by more than 12 percentage points. Morris also predicted that Rep. Rick Lazio (R-NY) would defeat Clinton in the 2000 New York Senate race. One day prior to the election, on the November 6, 2000, edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Morris asserted: "I think Lazio is, at this point, more likely to win it than Hillary, because, if Hillary is at 48 percent -- or even at 49 percent, or even at 50 percent -- a lot of her vote of minorities, a lot of her -- who have no real reason to vote in the presidential race." Lazio lost to Clinton by more than 12 percentage points, even though he outspent her by nearly $11 million.
Morris: Republicans will "definitely win nine seats in the Senate." On the November 1 Hannity, Morris stated: "I think [the Republicans are] going to definitely win nine seats in the Senate. And there are two that may fall, giving us -- giving us the majority." In fact, Republicans picked up six Senate seats, and Democrats retained a 51-47 majority, with two independents who caucus with Democrats.
Morris had previously predicted GOP could pick up 13 Senate seats. On the August 31 edition of Fox & Friends, Morris stated: "I think that the Republicans at the moment are leading, or have in effect won, up to nine [Senate] seats. I think they've won for or five, and they're leading in another four or five, bringing it up to nine. They need 10. And then I think there are four races that are very likely to furnish the 10th and maybe an 11th, 12th, and 13th as well."
Morris predicted Angle would win NV Senate race. On the November 1 Hannity, Morris included Republican Nevada senatorial candidate Sharron Angle among his predicted GOP Senate pick-ups. In fact, Majority Leader Harry Reid defeated Angle.
