They simply MUST hire new investigators to see how the computer could support the Republicans. Must be some other answer...

Is this the same computer model that predicted hockey stick global warming?

Well, I'm certainly not going to count on some machine. I'm waiting to hear what Karl Rove predicts. Then, I'll know what's going to happen.

But contrary to the Great Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth that will accompany this Republican’s ascension, there will be no significant cutback in social welfare benefits.

Karl Rove? Are you kidding? Not Me! I'm waiting to hear what Dick Morris has to say!

Really?? Why is that?

Having read about their model, it's just not that sophisticated. It'd make a good sophomore project for a 4yr Comp Sci degree.

Reuters?

Computer model?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Computer model?
Seriously?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

This is such a blatant desperation misdirection hoping to suck the clueless GOPe into relaxing, not continue to attack the socialists, to relax fund raising, TV commercials and hammering the incompetent record of the last 7 years.

Fortunately, that has zero effect on the GOP front runners, who are not about to relax their effective momentum.

Reuters?

Seriously?

At this point in election cycle, I doubt if Nostradamus can predict accurately.
