Dick Morris

Dick Morris: Profile

The most prominent American political consultant, Dick Morris has become well known for his probing, insightful, hard-hitting and clear commentary on the FoxNews channel. With his wife, Eileen McGann, Dick has written fourteen books, including ten New York Times best-sellers. Their almost daily columns circulate by email to 500,000 people and hundreds of thousands more read them online.

Domestically, Morris has handled the winning campaigns of more than thirty Senators and Governors. Internationally, he has piloted the successful campaigns of the president or prime minister of Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Uruguay, Kenya, Hungary, Poland, Taiwan, and Japan.

Morris first came to national attention when he provided the strategy that engineered Bill Clinton’s stunning comeback re-election victory in 1996, rescuing his presidency after he had lost control of Congress in 1994. Called “the most influential private citizen in America” by Time Magazine, Morris steered Clinton back toward the center and was a key player in the Clinton Administration initiatives that balanced the budget, cut taxes, and reformed welfare.

The Morris-Clinton relationship began in 1977 when he handled Bill’s first campaign for governor. After Clinton was elected, he fired Morris and lost his bid for re-election in 1980. After bringing Morris back, Clinton asked him to guide his successful re-election campaigns in 1984, 1986, and 1990.

Morris’ and McGann’s latest book is Revolt! – How to Defeat Obama and Repeal His Socialist Agenda – A Patriot’s Guide.

Their books have been prescient. In Outrage, they predicted the collapse of Fannie Mae. In Fleeced, they foresaw the stock market crash of 2008. In Catastrophe, they warned that Obama’s stimulus package would not work.

Their other best sellers include: Off With Their Heads about the war on terror and Rewriting History and Because He Could, biographies of Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Morris’ first best seller was Behind the Oval Office - his memoir about the Clinton years. His other books are: Power Plays, Vote.com, The New Prince, and Bum Rap on American Cities which he wrote in the 70s.
