Dick Morris came to public attention as the pollster and political campaign consultant managing Bill Clinton's 1996 re-election campaign.
Career
During the 1996 campaign, Morris encouraged Clinton to pursue the so-called "third way" policies of triangulation that merged traditional Republican and Democratic proposals, rhetoric, and issues to achieve maximum results. Morris resigned from the campaign on August 29, 1996 after reports surfaced that he had been involved with a prostitute. Since his resignation Morris has pursued a successful career as a political author, columnist, and commentator. His commentary tends to be critical of the Clintons, primarily Hillary Clinton, with whom he became disillusioned with after 1996.
