Rove seems to have been involved in the long con: he spent a whole lot less then he took in.

I was worried that I wasn't worried enough.

There was a story that Gallup best predicted who would win by asking people who they thought would win, which was Obama. I had the opposite theory: that everyone's a pessimist, and if more people thought Obama was going to win, that's because they thought their preferred candidate, Romney, was going to lose. But I was wrong, this time anyhow, assuming Gallup polled accurately, which is an iffy assumption. (But if this was inaccurate, their two inaccuracies would presumably cancel out.)
