Interesting. I've always thought that Nate Silver was over-rated. He's good at predicting D wins but not R's. He was big-time wrong about the Maryland Gov race in 2014.

Need to be careful when following a “false prophet.” They can turn your world “upside down.”

Predict loud
Predict often
When wrong never admit it
When correct never let them forget it

He’s Pajama Boy who made a lucky guess and parlayed it into Oracle status.

If count welfare checks and Section 8 housing vouchers I bet I can estimate Dem votes pretty closely too.

“Terrifying” ... why? Regardless of what anyone predicts, the results will be what they are. If he turns out to be correct, oh well, good for him, and if he turns out to be wrong, whatever.

Then we’ll need the two extra votes in Nebraska and Maine. It’s tough, but quite achievable. We need FL, OH and NV for sure.

” I’ve always thought that Nate Silver was over-rated.”

Been saying that since 2012. Right after the prezy elections, wonder guesser her GUESSED ALL FOLLOWING MIDTERMS ALL WRONG afterwards. This is what gets you a job on BSPN.

Exactly. He can think clearly when his choice is clearly winning. When they are not, the poor dear grasps at statistical straws.

It does seem the momentum for DT stopped today with Rasmussen reversing itself. I hope this is a motivator. It is too close and all must go to the polls like their lives depended on it.
