Dick Morris Explains Romney Landslide Prediction: ‘I Felt It Was My Duty’ To ‘Say What I Said’

Dick Morris spoke to Sean Hannity on Monday night’s show, offering an explanation of his prediction that Mitt Romney would win the election in a landslide. He did the best he could, Morris said — and when the Romney campaign was falling apart, he felt it his “duty” to offer this thoughts.

Amid his explanation, Morris pointed to demographic changes in the country and the effect of Hurricane Sandy on the home stretch of campaigning. He also referred to his assessment of the polling.

“I called it as I saw it from the polling, and I did the best I could — and I also worked very hard for Romney,” Morris said.

In response to Hannity noting that people are “furious” with Morris, Morris said he hoped that wasn’t true. He went on to add:

“I spoke about what I believed, and I think that there was a period of time when the Romney campaign was falling apart, people were not optimistic, nobody thought there was a chance of victory. And I felt that it was my duty at that point to go out and say what I said. And at the time that I said it, I believe I was right.”

“I have no apologies for what I said when I said it,” he remarked.
