Since you believe in the 2012 polls, the exit polls, Sandy and Krispy Creme embracing Obama had an effect on changing the outcome of the election.

Here you go.

"Fox News co-host Brian Kilmeade on Wednesday complained that the United States was the “shallowest country in the history of man” because exit polls showed that people considered Hurricane Sandy an important factor in the presidential race.

On the morning after President Barack Obama won re-election, Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy noted that Hurricane Sandy had been the “October surprise,” with 42 percent of people saying that the storm response was an important issue and 15 percent saying it was the most important issue."

Now what were the margins in the swings states? They were pretty thin gruel for an Obama win. Ms. Chritie likely made the difference.

Please provide me any evidence that the 15% who insisted that Hurricane Sandy was "the most important issue" in the 2012 election would have voted for Romney if Hurricane Sandy never existed.

I contend that every one of those voters would have voted for Obama even if Hurricane Sandy made landfall a week after Election Day ... and they would have cited some other "most important issue" that motivated their vote.

If a Republican candidate who is facing a half-@ssed, mediocre incumbent in a presidential election ends up losing because of the votes cast by retarted voters who vote for a president based on the last four days of an election cycle, then he simply wasn't a very good candidate to begin with.
