Bookmarked in case I have to start my "Let's All Laugh at Nate Silver" thread. Or so I can link to it in case stanger beats me to it.
I just sent it to some co-workers. One woman had never heard of him until this past weekend and now she's got a little crush on him.
You know if these people were smart.....they can just call friends and family, and find out who's voting the opposite candidate (Romney or Obama). If they find someone, all they have to do, is make a promise that they're not going to vote. There's no point, they're going to cancel each-others vote anyway. There's no need to go waste your time, standing in a long line.
What was that about laughing at Nate Silver? Dude got everything right. Including Florida. Nerds for the win.
Gonna be a lot of dead crows of all those who insulted Silver eat as they should. Like The Birds, but in reverse.
I don't think you need to eat crow. I mean, you didn't call Nate Silver a lying girly man or anything. You were simply being cautious, so as not to get your hopes up.
I thought it was frontin'. When Romney went to Pittsburgh on Election Day, it was to meet donors at talk to the press at the airport, so I assumed he had given up on Ohio and even bagged it on PA . But then it turned out he didn't have a concession speech written for him. And the Karl Rove meltdown over Ohio... I think they actually believed what they were saying.
Nothing worse that believing your own bullshit...they had Fox and Adleson/Koch whispering in their ears that this was all good, they would take out the uppity one...just sit back and get ready to do our bidding now what?
