It’s no wonder Mitt Romney thought he stood a chance.
The Romney campaign’s internal polling data for six key states, released today by The New Republic, shows the Republican presidential candidate slated to win Colorado and New Hampshire just two days prior to Election Day. Those same internal numbers show Romney only a few points behind President Obama in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Minnesota, and tied with the president in Iowa.
Romney inevitably lost all six states on Election Day.
Media outlets reported that the Romney team’s internal data also had Romney up by one point in Ohio and comfortably winning North Carolina, Florida, and Virginia in the last week of the election.
Of these four states, the only one Romney turned red was North Carolina.
The question, then, is not why Romney lost–but why he and his devoted kept drinking the Kool-Aid.
