What is up with the harrassment of Nate Silver! He put it beautifully -

"Punditry is busy trying to look unbiased by regurgitating talking points from both sides"

It is so true!! CNN epitomizes this. I see more right wing talking points advanced and this is why Nate has come under attack. Hang in there, NATE!!
