You sound starstruck. RCP got 49 out of 50 states just by mindlessly averaging poll numbers.

“You sound starstruck. RCP got 49 out of 50 states just by mindlessly averaging poll numbers.”

Starstruck? I am very much starstruck when the star is good at mathematics, statistics and sciences. I’ve studied/worked in these fields for years and when I see someone do amazing work like that, I admire the hell out of it, party id be damned. He is quite possibly the best statistician in sports and politics alive and probably the best in generations...some kind of savant anomaly.

He showed movement in FL two days before the race and called Obama .5 on that state.....every single pundit, columnist, political junkie on the planet thought Silver was off his rocker for making that call. I thought it was finally proof that he was biased and cheerleading the dems...but I was dead wrong and man enough to admit it.
