It might also be an admission that the election is no longer close enough to put that "special" voting machine software to use.

If they have to backtrack on "internal polls" that show a extremely small margin in favor of Romney, then that indicates that their real internals show Obama up by a good percentage.


Because if those states were really tied in their "real internal", THEN the Romney campaign would not go to the trouble of debunking these "fake" polls that they originally leaked.


The only reason they would reject these "fake" numbers publically, is because they HAVE to differe substancially from the real numbers, THAT if they let everyone believe these fake numbers, THEN they would look ridiculous in the end.

Imagine working for that asshole. If you told Mitt he was losing the election because no one trusts him, he would blame it on you.

Losing because the candidate won't release his tax returns? Your fault.

Losing because the candidate is running on a tax plan even the worst teabagger knows won't work? Your fault.

Losing because the candidate was useless as a governor? Your fault.

Or that he claims to have used his business acumen to save an Olympics whose real problem was a bribery scandal? Your fault.

Or that he's a crook? Your fault.

They got tired of everything being their fault...and since their prayers for KBR to start rewiring Marriott hotel room bathrooms didn't work, they just decided to do a little lying for the Lord: don't worry about those polls sir, our internals show you're doing great and it's okay to hire a guy to build a stable out behind the White House.
