Yesterday I mentioned how shocked I was that so many on the right had ignored the basic facts that Romney was probably going to lose. But surely you would think the campaign itself was using real numbers instead of made up numbers or “gut” feelings, right?
Apparently not.
Not only is there widespread reporting that the Romney team was shocked that they lost, but apparently they were confident enough in winning to rent a fireworks barge in Boston.
I’ve gotta say, this bumps Romney down a notch in my book. It’s one thing to disagree with a candidate’s policies (those that could be gleaned anyway), but when the candidate’s team is using so little real data as to delude themselves and their ground game is so bad they were out of touch with the very communities that we’re critical in this election, it does not speak well at all for the potential competence of a potential administration.
