Don't Forget Gallup And Rasmussen Crapped The Bed

There should be consequences.

They should be publicly shamed.

They tried to affect the race with a narrative that wasn't based in reality.

It wasn't that they were so far off numerically. It was that they were off in one direction.

They are the ones who should be thankful for Hurricane Sandy because it gave them the cover they needed to come closer to reality.

and all the rest were basically correct... even if "Democratic" leaning.

I hope the MSM media discusses this. Its a very significant issue. Polling was being used by the RW as a political tactic.

the "mitmentum" meme was so tiresome. never did these "pollsters" have any evidence to back up those
claims.

and all those media whores and their networks who kept on repeating it are just as guilty.
