I actually think Dick Morris and the Republican pundits that predicted a Romney win knew what they were saying was BS but had to pretend that Romney was going to win for what I assume is conservative movement morale reasons, serving as sort of the Baghdad Bobs of the GOP so the party faithful (aka rube-suckers) did not lose heart and turn out and keep watching (and maybe to make sure they turn up and vote in GOP congressmen on local level).

But, regardless of whether Dick Morris was a liar and knew what he was predicting was false or if he actually believed what he was saying was true - he still comes off a monumental fool.

Nate Silver, take a victory lap. The New York Times blogger—who had recently received a boatload of criticism from Republicans over his forecast model that for months had predicted a victory for President Obama—is the real winner of Tuesday’s night election.

The FiveThirtyEight blogger had correctly predicted 49 out of the 50 states in the 2008 presidential election. But Silver may do ever better than that this election. Not only did he predict Obama’s victory, the statistician still has a chance of going a perfect 50 for 50 provided Florida, which had not been called as of early Wednesday morning, goes the president’s way.

So much for the critics.
