Did you hear the one about how the Romney campaign leaked its internal polls to the British media?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2228359/Romney-campaign-internal-polling-puts-Republican-nominee-point-ahead-Ohio.html
A Cincinnati.com front-page link to a chart with dummy data, created as a design template for election results, was inadvertently posted early Tuesday morning.
It purported to show early voting totals in Ohio counties. However, no votes have been counted yet by law counting doesn't start until the polls close.
Cincinnati.com regrets the error.

The Romney campaign now saying internals attributed to their pollster Neil Newhouse showing Mitt up in Ohio, tied in WI, PA "are incorrect"

Romney spox, just now in an email: "The numbers attributed to [Neil Newhouse] are incorrect, hence, not his."
So who the leaked the numbers?
They were not believable anyway.
