One of the many things Republicans, unhappy with what they were seeing in the polls before the election, told themselves was that Romney was likely to win because "undecideds" always break for the challenger on election day. They counted on that being the case when they boldly declared that Romney would WIN the election despite all empirical evidence to the contrary.
So is that what actually happened? Hardly.
In fact, if you go to Real Clear Politics, you will find that the final average poll on the site fell out this way:
Obama 48.8
Romney 48.1
And the actual total?
Obama 50.3
Romney 48.1
In other words, it was OBAMA who took ALL the undecideds while Romney appears to have gotten none of them.
So much for that assumption.
Next?
