At dinner, I was rattling on about the unbelievably stupid way that the Romney campaign was run — the reliance on some app on Election Day instead of working on getting out the vote before then, never developing a plausible path to win the electoral college, making a desperate play for Pennsylvania a day before the Election, relying on internal polls while ignoring accurate ones, making seemingly random robo-calls to non-targeted voters, and all the while not paying any attention to what their opponents were doing. <\/p>\n
It’s one of the reasons I’m inclined to believe the press release from The Protectors or Anonymous or whomever it is <\/a>claiming they hacked Rove before he could steal Florida, Ohio and Virginia. But then again, even that was a stupid plan because Obama still would have won with 272 electoral votes. <\/p>\n So my media naranja<\/em> says he has no problem believing these idiots were simply overconfident and convinced by their own bullshit and internal polling.<\/p>\n “But how,” says I. “How could they have been that stupid? How could they not have seen what was happening right in front of them?”<\/p>\n He leans back, my genius husband, and says, “Romney is a true son of Detroit. His father was an auto-exec. They never saw the energy crisis coming. They never thought Japan would build fuel efficient cars that Americans would buy.”<\/p>\n D’uh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" At dinner, I was rattling on about the unbelievably stupid way that the Romney campaign was run — the reliance on some app on Election Day instead of working on getting out the vote before then, never developing a plausible path to win the electoral college, making a desperate play for Pennsylvania a day before … Continue reading A Good Point I Can\u2019t Take Credit For<\/span>
