It's a bit reminiscent of Dick Morris' now infamous "by a quite lot, really" in picking Mitt the Twit as the winner on FoxNews as the polls closed.
There wasn't a poll in the nation that showed the Twit even terribly close. The righties were so so self deluded over there decades long fables about librul media that they just assumed that all those polls were fixed and some wizard even had the idea of going through the fruitless exercise of "unskewing" the polls. Of course, the "unskewed" polls showed the Twit winning. It would have worked if the underlying premise of the idea had the slightest truth in it, namely that there were just as many Republicans as Democrats ready to vote. But the GOP brand has been taking a pounding for ten years or more. What part of Bush the Frat Boy was an abject failure did they not understand?
I could see this verdict coming weeks ago. It's a good thing, too. I don't think I could stomach the McD's celebrating their acquittal by running off to Tahiti to sip piña colladas on the beach together after telling the world about how bad their marriage is.
