HAMPTON — Mitt Romney will win the presidential race in an “absolute landslide.” That’s the spin from Dick Morris, nationally known political pundit and former adviser to President Bill Clinton.

HAMPTON — Mitt Romney will win the presidential race in an “absolute landslide.” That’s the spin from Dick Morris, nationally known political pundit and former adviser to President Bill Clinton.



“This is not going to be a close election,” said Morris, a New York Times best-selling author and a Fox News political analyst. “This is not going to keep you up all night.”



Morris was the featured guest speaker Thursday at an event put on by Americans for Prosperity at One Liberty Lane Conference Center.



Morris gave his thoughts on the upcoming election, the need to repeal Obamacare and opined that there was no way President Barack Obama didn’t know immediately that what occurred in Benghazi, Libya, was “a terrorist attack.”



Morris said Romney is going to win because “voters have figured out that President Obama has no message, no agenda.”



Morris said the night will start out with Romney winning by 13 to 15 points in Indiana, a state Obama carried in 2008.



Romney will also win New Hampshire, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio and Iowa, he said.



While polls show Obama leading in some of those states by a few points, Morris said the election will be decided by the undecided.



“The undecided rarely votes for the incumbent,” he said.



Morris said Obama would need a similar voter turnout to what he got in 2008, with blacks, Latinos and those under age 30. But those voters, he said, are no longer enthusiastic about his campaign and will have to be “dragged to the polls.”



“We will get our 47 percent out, but he won’t get his 49,” said Morris, who predicts the Electoral College will go 300 for Romney to 200 for Obama.



Morris also gave insight on the U.S. Senate matchups, predicting the Republicans will regain control of the Senate, with a 53 to 47 split.



“Will 53 votes be enough to repeal Obamacare? Well, the sons of guns passed it with 51, so we can repeal it with 51.”



Some U.S. Senate races, he said, are still toss-ups.



But he did say Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin of Missouri could have a chance, even though he lost the backing of the party and national committee over controversial comments on rape and abortion. Akin suggested in an interview that a women couldn’t get pregnant from “legitimate rape.”



Another toss-up is the Massachusetts Senate race between Republican U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren.



“You can never tell, at some point Elizabeth Warren is going to put on the war paint,” joked Morris, a reference to Warren’s claims about having Native American heritage.



More than a hundred people attended the event including state Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, and John Sununu, former New Hampshire governor and current Romney surrogate.



For one audience member, the event was a “dream of a lifetime” come true. Hampton resident Myrtle Woodward, who is a 103 years old, said she always wanted to meet Morris.



“I watch him on television all the time,” Woodward said. “He says everything I want to hear.”

Morris congratulated her for “staying alive so she can vote to beat Barack Obama.”
