Nate Silver, behind a paywall?

I just noticed I got one of those sidebar messages that I only have x out of 10 free articles to read on the NYTimes.com website when I was visiting the 538 blog... This is going to be bad if I can't get my fix 2 times a day like I normally do!?!? Anyone else having this happen to them, it seems new.

Try googling 538 instead of using a bookmark, perhaps they altered the url?

...only starts blocking you from reading the full articles if you click on "read more" on his entries.

You can still always see the polling numbers and projections. I hit 0 out of 10 on his site last month before the month was half over.... never even slowed me down.
