Romney's campaign was an unmitigated disaster. His top people actually believed the "skewed polls" nonsense and ran almost ZERO ground game in the days leading up to the election because they were convinced it was in the bag.
Romney's campaign wasn't a disaster. He came out of the convention with a lead and then Hurricane Sandy happened and Obama got all the media airtime and love and the Christie seal of approval and Romney lost momentum. Then, in the debates, the media did everything it could to protect Obama's record and even lied, in the case of Candy Crowley, about what the President said in relation to Benghazi. The 47% nonsense didn't damage Romney nearly as much as the Hurricane Sandy photo-ops did. Romney stayed away from the damage sites, rightly so, but a more crass and opportunistic politician (read liberal) would have dove right in and gotten his/her minutes with Christie.
