"Nate Silver is a man of very small stature, a thin and effeminate man with a soft-sounding voice that sounds almost exactly like the “Mr. New Castrati” voice used by Rush Limbaugh on his program. In fact, Silver could easily be the poster child for the New Castrati in both image and sound. Nate Silver, like most liberal and leftist celebrities and favorites, might be of average intelligence but is surely not the genius he's made out to be. His political analyses are average at best and his projections, at least this year, are extremely biased in favor of the Democrats."
...
"He claims to have been highly accurate in predicting the 2008 election results, and perhaps he was. But it's highly unlikely his current methods and projections will have the level of accuracy unless he changes then quite a lot between now and election day. The race has shifted profoundly in favor of Mitt Romney while Nate Sillver is still projecting an Obama win. Unless he changes that, the credibility he earned in 2008 will be greatly diminished after this years election."


My fave line is the one about 'He claims to... be accurate"
Uh they are not claims like having faith in an invisible God dude.
They are actual results you can confirm and look up in the historical record.

The guy who put together that electoral map is a fucking lunatic. Oregon going for Romney? What parallel universe does this guy live in?

but they are claiming he's "got momentum". This way when Obama kicks his ass they can claim voter fraud because the outcome didn't match "their" polls.
