Possibly the most prominent American political consultant, Dick Morris is almost universally credited with piloting Bill Clinton to a stunning comeback re-election victory in 1996 after the president lost Congress to the Republicans two years before. Called "the most influential private citizen in America" by Time Magazine, Morris is considered a shrewd expert on polls and trends. He encouraged Clinton to pursue so-called third way policies of triangulation that merged traditional Republican and Democratic proposals, and issues to achieve maximum political gain and popularity.
Morris began his relationship with Clinton in 1977 when he handled the Arkansas Attorney General's successful campaign to become the youngest Governor in the nation. Morris oversaw his comeback victory in 1982 as well as his Arkansas re-election victories in 1984, 1986 and 1990. Morris went on to become campaign manager of Bill Clinton’s successful 1996 bid for re-election to the office of President of the United States.
In addition to Clinton, Morris has handled the winning campaigns for more than 30 senators or governors including Republican Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and former Governors Bill Weld of Massachusetts and Pete Wilson of California. Morris is a New York Times bestselling author, and television and newspaper commentator. hudsonunionsociety
