Given that we now know that the Federal government used its full weight and resources to stop the voter participation in the 2012 elections we know see how an insider could make better predictions.

Those groups should have been screaming bloody murder and in court seeking relief.

Then Barone and the rest would have known.

You really have to appreciate the exhaustive research, the incisive insights and the convincing conclusions.

Truly, a landmark work...

Morris owed apology.

Watch out, he might want to suck your toes in appreciation.

You two are unaware that the iRS was used to stop Conservative groups from partipating in the 2012 election.

And that Nate SIlver is an insider.

I believe you guys.

Start your education with a paper you must truly believe:

Or Nate Silver could have just looked at the polls, averaged them, and seen the Obama was likely going to win

Yes, but has this been peer reviewed?

Who's to say the targeted groups would have backed Romney?

Or that what they could do would be enough to swing the election to him?

Unfortunately, peer review is not possible because of the lost data, or the refusal to produce it.

No $hit, $herlock.

That's been patently obvious from the moment that conscious targeting of Tea Party groups was established.

It's hardly news.

Whether or not Silver, a baseball stathead, was in the scam is interesting -- at a certain level -- but largely irrelevant.

C'mon, be of good humor. We're just funnin' with ya.

Here's the thing - 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) groups are not supposed to "participat[e] in the 2012 election" (or any other election) in any meaningful way. Partisan political groups do not qualify for that status. So, I'm not sure that targeting conservative/tea party nonprofits would have stopped groups conservative/tea party groups from participating in the election, since the organizations that were targeted were not (or should not have been) involved in partisan political activities.

Nate Silver is nothing but a partisan hack.

Well if the rule you’re obviously in favor of was followed by the dumbocrats, we’d have no participation by Media Matters, Rock the Vote, and ACORN. But the last time I checked, they weren’t following the rules as written, although we’re supposed to? With people like you at the helm, we’ll never win these battles.

Yes, I’m in favor of limiting the political activities of 501(c)(3) and (c)(4) organizations, but those rules should obviously be enforced on both sides (and just as obviously, they are not).
