Thanks.
Or is he foretelling something important?
The occasion of this article was a quick interview with Dick Morris on Fox News awaiting the Wednesday evening events at the Republican National Convention. Questions were focused on VP pick Sarah Palin. According to Morris, we have had elections that talk about soccer moms, security moms, and hockey moms, now this one is going to be about single moms.
Well, I thought – somebody had to say it, but I had imagined it would be just another of those goofy feminist professors pretending to take an objective look at American politics. What could he have meant? Elections have been about single moms since Ronald Reagan’s 1980 campaign. Clinton / Morris just carried on with it in the 1990s; milking it to the point of dehydration. George Bush didn’t seem to care and Clinton corruption – in the name of single mothers – remained intact.
Wikipedia had a complimentary description of spin-doctors who have no ideas of their own and are no deeper than their will to win.
Morris encouraged Clinton to pursue so-called third way policies of triangulation that merged traditional Republican and Democratic proposals, rhetoric, and issues to achieve maximum political gain and popularity.
Just doing his job I suppose; but this single mom fetish has for the rest of us become simple long-term monotonous nagging. And the look on his face when he said it reminded me of the barely pubescent fascinations with these magical women who were single – but definitely not virgins. Does Dick Morris have a secret personal debt to some single mothers that needs to be looked into?
Or is it a competent independent forecast?

Like you I use Wikipedia as a reference source. But now I am somewhat skeptical.
What do you think of this story this story that someone had altered Gov. Palin’s bio?
