Why the 2004 election and 2012 election were really similer

[Thunderbird is the word]

 Both Kerry and Romney's bases were absolutely convinced that they were going to win prior to Election Day and both used flawed methodology to back their arguments, I remember the weekend before the 04 election a popular theory emerging on left-wing blogs that liberals were more likely to only have cell phones which weren't polled and as a result the polls were skewed against Kerry.

I'll add one, both Kerry and Romney had animal stories which were originally told to make them look decisive but just came off looking creepy. Obviously Romney's was worse, he tied his dog to the roof of the car and Kerry giving COR to licorice the hamster.
