While I agree with the general premise of the headline, let us remember: Barone predicted Romney would get 300 or more electoral votes.
Barone is clueless.
Well, Mitt Romney would have won, had #1 that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave not stolen the election which he did, # 2 voters from our side, either voting third party, which is a total waste or not voting at all for president. 0bama btw got less votes in 2012 than in 2008
Barone wasn’t the only only one who screwed up in 2012. They were counting on undecideds breaking last minute for Romney (they didn’t) and they were also counting on normal GOP turnout (millions stayed home because Romney didn’t sell them).
Honest mistake and Barone has owned up to it. He still knows his stuff. Check out his Almanac of American Politics sometime (it would take you a year to read and digest it).
Barone didn’t account for fraud.
