The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++8 to 10 pts. in some polls, days prior to the election. Still repeating that lie? I've shown you the facts twice now, so there's no excuse other than abject laziness for you to continue -- except of course you haven't shown much desire for the truth, so why should this be any different.
There were only FOUR recognized polls in the entire election cycle that had McCain up by 8 or more points. Three of those were in January, before Obama was even the front-runner, and before Palin was a gleam in conservative's eyes.
That leaves a SINGLE poll which showed McCain up by 8 points. ONE POLL:
USA Today/Gallup 09/05 - 09/07 823 LV 4.0 44 54 McCain +10
So, in your one single sentence, you had THREE lies:
- up ++8 to 10 points: FALSE: No poll ever had them up 10.
- in some polls: FALSE; There was only ONE poll.
- days prior to the election: False; It was 2 full MONTHS before the election.
IF I can find 3 lies in a single sentence of your post (lies that have been pointed out to you multiple times) it should be clear that everything you write should be taken with a grain of salt.

Trying to revise history, RomneyBOT?
McCain and Palin would have won were it not for the
"bloody knives" of Team Romney.
They were up. Then they lost. Team Romney won. Obama won.

[from "Mitt Romney as Tarantino's Superman", New Republic]: "Whereas most superheroes' secret identities (Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker) are their true identities
--the people they were before their parents were murdered or they were bitten by radioactive spiders
or exposed to gamma rays or what have you--Superman was born Superman.
It's Clark Kent that is the invented alias, the pose, the "costume."
And in the way Superman plays Kent--weak, self-doubting, cowardly--
we can see what he thinks of the human race overall.
It occurred to me that the same is true of Mitt Romney's desperate,
if never terribly persuasive, impersonation of a conservative Republican."
So America, why take the Fake superhero, when you can have a real one save this country?

Poor sport spoiler Romney doing what he does best:
Novak: "Fred Thompson drop-out rumors traced to Romney campaign"
Said Novak: "The rumors were traced in part to Mitt Romney's campaign,
trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson."
"Despite outspending his rivals by huge margins throughout the primaries,
(Mitt Romney, Carpetbagger UT,CA,MA,NH,Mexico) lost Iowa, South Carolina, Florida and California.
The only primaries he won were in Michigan, where Dad was governor; LDS states;
and a few states on Super Tuesday in which his California-obsessed rivals
couldn't spare the cash to advertise.
Only John Connolly in 1968 had a worse cash-to-delegates ratio.
And John McCain rightly did not like Romney's tactics during the primaries.
(W)hen (Romney's early leads) started slipping away, he resorted to unfair,
distorted, scorched-earth negative ads, betting that his opponents couldn't
afford to spend enough for the truth to catch up to his charges."
