What confounds my mind is the state of shock. Were they not following the election at all? Did they not pay any attention to all the various neutral, nonpartisan sources - whether financial derivative predictions markets, London bookies or non-partisan political science number crunchers? If they had been paying only cursory attention - even with the most optimistic outlook - they would have known that they had a reasonable shot at winning - but all neutral indicators without exceptions saw Obama as having a definitive advantage. How could they have not known that?
