Nate Silver

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Nate Silver

Unread post by mike »

He called it all along ... I like this one, as well:
It is not my job to give advice, but the next Republican nominee might be well served to remember that the party won the Electoral College despite losing the popular vote in 2000, when George W. Bush and Karl Rove put more emphasis on the “ground game.” But the Republicans seemed to be at a disadvantage in the last two years when their candidates put less of an investment into it.

If the parties continue down the same paths, however, this won’t be the last election when most of the swing states turn blue.

Reality has a liberal bias.

Either that or, simply, his methodology and data collection were far superior to Faux Noise, Karl Rove and the rest of 'em.

If you had followed Nate all along, he was unflinching even when his data tilted toward Romney.

Really, the guy is not in bed with the devil (and I think you know that) he just has a great mind for numbers and making observations thereof.

Much respect to Nate. Image

Well yes. Divination is expressly forbidden in Deuteronomy 18:9-11. No wonder the Republicans hate him.
