One more reason to hope Obama wins. Though if Nate gets just one state wrong, I'm sure this site will shout it from the rooftops.

That said if Silver were predicting a Romney win, no matter the math, how would this board react to him?

He has NEVER said he wanted any candidate to win, only what he has calculated their chances to be...

They will forever think he is responsible for that. I wonder if there is some way he can have his software verified by someone else -with a strict non-disclosure agreement, of course.

Or maybe he doesn't even consider it proprietary. I mean, numbers are numbers, right?

And you don't shoot his messenger


To avenge his lost messengers, Genghis deployed three of his "four dogs" of war, which included Subutai, better known as the greatest general who ever lived. After laying siege to Inalchuq's citadel for six months with newly-acquired Chinese technologies, Genghis finally obtained a refund for his fruit basket; supposedly by pouring molten silver into Inalchuq's eyes and mouth. Then he went after the Shah.

Do these fucking morons realize that if Nate Silver is wrong, his entire career is over?
