Wasserman & Silver look to be grasping at straws....not quite believing what they are seeing if I read this right ?
Liberals on twitter are beginning to tear into one another about this. Some seem to recognize how serious this is, others in denial.
They are...to their credit, a few pollsters (Gallup, Rasmussen) have been warning that the 2012 turnout model won’t look anything like 2008. But idiots like Wasserman and Silver completely rejected that projection—never mind that Gallup has a 60+ year track record and one of the largest (and most detailed sample) of any poll during a presidential cycle. And their reasoning is based in pure, partisan politics. They had to use a 2008 model to keep their candidate in the hunt.
Can’t wait to see how they “explain” their data tomorrow.
