Barone and Morris and Rove were completely wrong.
Silver and the MSM were right.
Intrade was right.
I was wrong.
We were wrong.
We should never ignored the markets and odd-makers. They’re usually almost always right!
And good people like me, Rove, Barone and Morris can get wrong.
Blame us if you like! We made our prediction on the best available data at the time.
The country just didn’t agree with us! I eat crow and accept blame, not for leading people astray, but for always thinking the best of my country.
If you want condemn me for it - so be it! I accept your fury with grace and dignity.
Well said. I would not have guessed the outcome we witnessed. Losing, perhaps—but a lot closer than this. Like 2000 and 2004, I would have sworn we would not know the winner until sometime the next day at the earliest.
I really thought Romney would win it. I thought between 2010, the Wisconsin recall, the flubs with Benghazi and Sandy—not to mention the debates...how could we lose.
I still don’t know how we could lose.
After bashing Romney for months and praising Obama for months, the mainstream media creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that gives Obama four more years. The MSM's biased coverage was probably worth billions of dollars, but Obama got it all for free. The MSM allowed Romney to have only 1 good night in the entire campaign. That was the first debate, which they couldn't hide from the American people. The rest of the MSM's coverage was a never-ending pro-Obama informercial that will continue for 4 more years.
