Romney's Polling Lead That Never Existed

Big Romney fundraiser speaking to WaPo today:

“A lot of people feel like Christie hurt, that we definitely lost four or five points between the storm and Chris Christie giving Obama a chance to be bigger than life,” said one of Romney’s biggest fundraisers, who requested anonymity to speak candidly.

What was Lie #2 I wrote about the day before the election that Republicans would use to blame for Romney's loss?

2. Hurricane Sandy was an October Surprise that blew the election to Obama's favor.  An election Romney was winning they think.

Just like I said.  Their irrational behavior is so easy to predict.

Except for the fact that no poll in the country showed Mitt Romney ahead by 4-5 points before the hurricane, then they would be right.  It's total farce to suggest Romney had a 5-point lead going into Frankenstorm.  No truth to it at all.  Only Fox News' "unskewed polls" showed Romney with that kind of lead.  None in the reality-based community ever projected such a spread.

They will keep saying this, though.  It makes them feel better.  It makes them think they didn't lose the election based on ideas and policy.  They lost it due to an act of God that no one could control; and from betrayal.
