And the walkback continues. RT @fivethirtyeight: We have Obama as ~80% likely to win EC if pop. vote is a tie. 98% if O+1. 30% if R+1.

LOL Wow! The omniscient, infallible Nate Silver is really now saying this??? After ALL this time of projecting supreme confidence that Obama had this election in the bag???

As Rush would say... “They’re worried, folks. They’re REALLY worried!”

This guy should go back to predicting baseball matches. There is not going to be a tie of the popular vote. His entire model is a joke.

Obama has this in the bag and will win unless he doesn't have it in the bag and will lose.

Trying to let the DU crowd down easy after they easily swallowed Silver’s hook line and sinker for months.

Prediction: Obama will win if he wins 270 or more electoral college votes and lose if he doesn’t get that.

Let me tell you something about this intrade business.
I can tell you right now that all this wagering on Obama is coming from overseas.
The reason I know this is because offshore wagering outlet 5dimes had Obama at -330 meaning you have to put up 330$ to win 100$ (huge favorite).
You don’t build billion dollar palaces in Vegas because the public are smart bettors.

Bleacher, I’ve been saying this on and off for the last few weeks and immediately get attacked as a troll. Rasmussen has been really good some years and really really bad in other years.

Hopefully he is really good this year, but to many Freepers here essentially ignore some of his bad years as if they didn’t happen.

What? There is no walk back by Nate the Great. He has Obama with a 85.1% chance of winning today, Obama’s highest since the first debate. My Tuesday night will be spent on MSNBC and 538 blog. I cannot wait to watch their little totalitarian world explode.

I think Silver is the only Pollster/Predictor that Axlerod hasn’t sent a sawed off Horses head to. Note all the Polls are basically even. Everyone will claim that we just didn’t see the voter gap enthusiasm for the Repubs.

Your post lists nine states. Ras correctly called the winner in seven, and had one tie that went for Obama. That’s not too bad so why freak out?

Because Rass was the most accurate in 2008. Yes, he was off but less off then every other pollster.
