(24,411 posts)I will NEVER understand how Romney was so confident that he didn't even write a concession speech. I'm just a voter from Iowa, and I knew a couple of things: 1.) Although the national polls were close, it was the state polls that counted and Obama definitely had the advantage; 2.) The blowhards on Fox News, as well as Rasmussen and Gallup were cooked polls. Absolutely no doubt.
Ok, if little ol' me--who is not a Harvard-educated, Bain-CEO who saved the Olympics--can understand those realities--why couldn't Mitt Romney and his campaign?
They did internal polling. They had to see the same numbers that the Obama camp did.
Literally, I think they're state of "shock" will remain as one of the great mysteries of our time.
They had to know. But they didn't!
How in the hell can that be?
