Nate Silver is basically allowing his personal political agenda color his analysis. He basically ignores all the polling that shows Obama in trouble.
One good thing about this election, there are certain media hyped reputations like Silvers that are going to be completely discredited. Silvers is spinning a big Obama win. Everyone knows that is not going to happen. He is so far out on a limb now no matter what happens, Silver over inflated reputation is gone.
No, I think the majority of the media DO think Obama is going to win. It really seems like this time around that both sides, at least at this point, think they are going to win. If you can stomach a trip over to MSDNC you would believe Obama is headed to a smashing victory based on all the state polls that seem to support that view of things.
In general, the media and left are banking entirely on Nate Silver's "model".
Oh, I hope to God you are right, Johnnie,
We’re doomed if Dear Leader gets another four years.
I would also dearly love to see those guys’ reps come crashing to the ground!
