anyways, nate silver, sam wang, intrade, they all got obama. as long as obeezy don't make any unforced errors, he should win this.

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" today, Joe Scarborough took a more direct shot, effectively calling Silver an ideologue and "a joke."

"Nate Silver says this is a 73.6 percent chance that the president is going to win? Nobody in that campaign thinks they have a 73 percent chance — they think they have a 50.1 percent chance of winning. And you talk to the Romney people, it's the same thing," Scarborough said. "Both sides understand that it is close, and it could go either way. And anybody that thinks that this race is anything but a tossup right now is such an ideologue, they should be kept away from typewriters, computers, laptops and microphones for the next 10 days, because they're jokes."

Silver's no stranger to doubt and criticism. He even doubts his own model sometimes. But he dismisses this criticism.

"We can debate how much of a favorite Obama is; Romney, clearly, could still win. But this is not wizardry or rocket science," Silver told POLITICO. "All you have to do is take an average, and count to 270. It's a pretty simple set of facts. I'm sorry that Joe is math-challenged."

math is a mystery to some people. There's guessing then and then there's making an educated guess, they are not the same thing...to many people don't see the difference.

Don't get complacent people, make sure you vote.

 

[Mike Otherz]

remember when that genius joe scarborough told obama back in 2007 to step down cause he had no chance of winning the nomination, that it was all hillary?

remember when nate silver was writing for Daily Kos also in 07 and crunched his numbers and said Hillary was a bad bet for dems and you should go either Obama or John edwards cause they were stronger with independents? yep.

Nate Silver taking jobs away from these idiots. Keep up the good work Nate. fukk the haters.

I'm glad there is a Nate Silver. All these news outlets trying to make the race close just to sell more ad space. To be honest compared to 08, Obama's team seems to be in coasting mode. That might be the reason why his whole 1st debate went the way it did. This one is in the bag.

It's good to see confidence, I guess.

I see it. I was watching Morning Joe this morning and they had Mark Halperin up there and they were all trying hard to drive home the point that no one knows who's gonna win and anybody who says they do doesn't know what they're talking about. It sounded like they were taking subliminal shots at Silver.

Scarborough talking about Obama's in trouble because they're sending Clinton to MN and PA. Like Romney is really gonna win either of those states. These guys are tasked with making elections seem close as possible to sell the story. They're threatened by Silver because he's exposing them.

Nate Silver is as close to a lock as there is. Any work involving Probability or Statistics has its flaws, but dude tries to minimize it as much as possible.

Obama just got some glowing compliments thrown his way by GOP Gov. Christie. Let's see what it do.
