The polls conducted during the elections seemed to have given an impression and an air of confidence to the GOP of their imminent victory. Spokes persons for the GOP went on television programs to express that victory would occur in favor of Romney who would win the key states. Moreover, Romney wrote a victory speech and apparently he gave no consideration to writing a speech to concede victory. Further, Karl Rove seemed to have a melt down when hearing that the election was called in favor of President Obama. Overall, the bewildered and angry expressions of the Republicans on election night showed that they were caught off guard by shocking news of their clear defeat. It is always a mystery as to who these pollsters are calling. From listening to a number of minority call-in discussion radio programs, these groups of people do not seem to be considered or involved in the polling process or outcomes. If they did, then the results of the polls would have certainly demonstrated that the election was heading in favor of President Obama.
