Who Can We Laugh At this Morning?

Who was absolutely wrong the entire time about this election

Intrade. Even last week had Obama hovering around the mid-50's

Unskewed polls.Predicted a 5 point Romney victory, was the republican security blanket for the entire election

Joe Scarborough. Said Nate Silver didn't know what he was talking about

Dick Morris. Predicted a Romney landslide

Washington Examiner. Predicted a Romney Landslide

Chuck Todd, David Gregory, John King, Wolf Blitzer. Said the election was tied and that Romney had "Romentum"

Andrea Mitchell. Said Pennsylvania was tied

Free Republic and Republicans around the internet. Most of the ones I saw talked about a massive Romney landslide, some even a double digit Romney victory

Rush Limbaugh. Said all of the polls were wrong

Rasmussen and Gallup. 100% wrong

Howard Fineman. Said The Des Moines Register endorsement of Romney spelled doom for Obama

Billionaire Republicans. Wasted Hundreds of millions of dollars propping up a candidate that really had little chance of winning

Karl Rove. Thought he could by the presidency, predicted a Romney landslide, said Romney would win Ohio even after the networks called it for Obama

Mitch McConnell. #1 priority failed

Republicans in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida. Thought they could suppress the vote, inspired massive turn out

Paul Ryan. Predicted his side would win the debate on ideas

Mitt Romney.
