Romney's pollster should be chased out of the industry.
No Republican candidate for major office should ever hire Neil Newhouse again. We had fun this year watching Rasmussen inflate the voter ID in his polls. We rolled our eyes listening about unskewed polls, but at the end of the day, their polls are nothing but entertainment value. On the other hand, internal presidential campaign polls determine how valuable time and millions of dollars are spent. Yet Newhouse decided, on no objective basis, that the Republican share of the vote would be the same as 2004 or 2010 and that Obama would not be able to generate the same level of enthusiasm as 2008. Good pollsters don't make assumptions, they research and measure. And if the numbers don't look good, they are what they are. At least Romney would not have been spending time in Pennsylvania during the last week of the campaign. And they might have saved themselves the embarrassment of buying that firework display.
