RE: Little did we know the dynamic had changed and now it’s the demographics

Who woulda thunk that Michael Barone, one of America’s foremost demographic observers would get it wrong too?

Here are some of the folks FReepers tended to trust who got it wrong last November ( as far as I can remember ):

Karl Rove,
High Hewitt,
Dick Morris,
Wayne Allyn Root (Las Vegas odds maker who claims he’s seldom wrong)
Gallup,
Rasmussen

(add your name or organization here ).

The two most correct predictors:

Nate Silver of the NY Times

INTRADE Market

Glenn Beck's The Blaze also predicted a comfortable Romney win.

Considering the 2008 and 2012 elections, the current score is:

Mainstream Pollsters - 2

Freepers In Denial - 0

A finding we should keep firmly in mind in future.
