I called it but a lot ridiculed me. I said Gallup faked that 52 - 46 Romney lead to get Rommney to play it safe in the debates and campaign to play ahead with a prevent defense.

Notice how gallup had it even at the end.

I believe you were right because the only poll that should be trusted is the one taken at the ballot box.

However, even if he had been ahead, it was bad strategy, because sitting on a lead and trying to run the clock does not work any better in politics than it does in sports. Winners are competitive and they play the game out full tilt until the clock reads triple zeroes.
