...were you right wingers serious when you continued to vehemently claim that Romney was not only going to win, but was going to win by a landslide?

Against all evidence (not to mention reality as a whole) the right wing talking heads were telling you that all month before the election...the polls are a left wing conspiracy, the turnout projections are a left wing conspiracy...in short, they were telling you all month that reality was a left wing conspiracy.

I assumed that those talking heads were liars...they actually thought they might be able to change the shape of the electorate by spreading elaborate lies about hoaxes and conspiracies. The funny part is that it clearly didn't work...but somehow those who were planning on voting for Romney actually really did believe it, or so it seemed.

The fact that Obama was going to get at least 300 electoral college votes, and perhaps over 330, was pretty clear...go back to the "Romney" thread and see repeated predictions of exactly that.

Not only that, but all the polls said exactly the same thing.

That being said...I get the feeling that some here were actually surprised by the imposition of reality upon their beliefs.

Apparently they weren't alone...looks like Romney was somewhat stupified by his loss.

So this is a serious question...in spite of all evidence to the contrary, except for Karl Rove and Rush Limbaugh saying it over and over again, did you guys really think that Romney was going to win? If so, what did you base that belief on?

I really would like to know the answers to those questions...all the right wing talking heads I see on TV are still shocked, or at least profess to be, but are still saying that they thought that everything was a conspiracy and it was going to be a Romney landslide, right up until the east coast polls closed and they started to see reality creep in...that something was wrong...very wrong.

Fish on...
