Life is good. Wonder if Scarborough will even mention him? Is it time for "Morning Joe" yet? (As with Fox, I only tune in when we have a victory they'll have to cry about. So I can't WAIT until morning!)

After Ohio was called I saw all kinds of bitching on Facebook that Obama was losing the popular vote and I said California would drastically change that. It looks like it did and Nate's model is a huge winner tonight (once again.)

I had faith in Nate. I went to 538 nearly every day. He helped me keep my sanity when the polls looked funky.

That is a nice slap in the face for the republicans who devalue math, science, and facts. I love it!

He predicted a Obama win a year and a half before the election.That makes number eight in a row he has predicted who was going to win the popular vote

Nate had Florida for Romney until the last minute and flipped it to Obama by a small margin.

It would have been a much larger margin if they had actually ALLOWED people to vote easily instead of standing in long lines.

Those people are the true heroes of this election. I'm in California and voting for me was a matter of seven minutes from the time I parked to the time I was back at the car. I've spent more time at a 7/11.

Nate sure has a crystal ball. It is called hard facts, devoid of emotions. It is called math and science, based on evidence, not faith or punditry.
Thank you Nate. This election is a huge victory for you too. You are a very intelligent young man with a very bright future.

not feeling it for the president.. or wanted something different.. or some other such lying spin.
they deliberately ignored all of the polls that showed nate was right and they zeroed in
on the outlier polls that showed Nate was wrong.

The staff at Morning Joe has egg on their faces today. They were Fox-light and they should
be reminded of it for the next four years.
