Even now, I can’t get my mind around what happened.
We had a candidate with momentum and gobs of money, and huge enthusiastic crowds everywhere he went. The polls favored him, and his internal polling HAD to be good since he never thought he would need a concession speech. So many “experts” assured us Ohio was in the bag, from the governor on down to people like Bill Cunningham, and the talking heads. Independents were supposedly breaking big for Romney. And turnout in Republican areas was huge. I stood in line yesterday for an hour and a half, when normally I just walk in, vote, and leave within five minutes.
So what happened? How could everyone and everything be wrong? It isn’t computing.
Absolutely...that kept going through my head over and over last night...a completely sleepless night...how could people whose JOB it is to come close to an accurate prediction get it so hideously wrong?
Just stunning....
