Jim Geraghty pretty much nails the spin memo put out by the
Romney folks. I would add the assertion that he is the most
competitive against the Democrats is belied by the only facts
available --
polls. As I've discussed before, McCain clearly is the most
electable of the GOP based on poll data at this point. Second, at
least some exit polling which I highlighted today shows that McCain
won narrowly with NH GOP voters. Finally, the GOP
polls as a whole show no dramatic shift toward Romney at the
end of the race.(Pulling out one poll which dramatically msised the
mark and saying "look we improved!" strikes me as insulting our
intelligence.) It is hard to imagine who would be reassured by this
sort of thing.
