There is no such thing as a “non-partisan” computer.
It is programmed by humans, therefore it has bias.
i wonder if the forecasting software is in any way similar to that ‘proving’ global warming???
Yeah, and Jimmy Carter’s second term was a shoo-in, too. :)
Just like the computer models that “prove” global warming can’t even predict today’s climate when fed historical clmate data.
I am not sold on the methodology but the concept is interesting.
Rick Perry:
In bed with the Bilderbergers.
For the Trans-Texas Corridor.
For amnesty.
For government forcing little girls to take Gardisil.
Supported Rudy Giuliani in 2008.
Runs as a conservative but governs as a big-government centrist.
Perry would be better than 0bozo, but still would be a fiscal disaster and being a one-world enthusiast is an anathema to American sovereignty.

This Puterized poll paid for by RE-Elect Obama Campaign
How did William McKinley make out? Hmmmm.
Perry is picking the right time to get into the race. Everyone else has totally committed their concepts of “what I’m going to do”.....”unless I change my mind”.
No computer can predict the mood of the country. Computers can only predict based on mostly physical characteristics. I bet this is wrong. Since Perry isn’t (yet?) running I guess according to this computer 0bam’s getting 4 more years? Sure. I’ve not seen the mood of the country like this since Jimmy Carter, except it’s worse now. The people are NOT going to elect a milquetoast but someone with fire in their belly.

A “non-partisan” computer? The very concept is false on its face. Computers have to be programmed by humans, who are not non-partisan.
This trash ought to be deleted and re-posted on DU.
Lets have at it and get the job done!
We NEED an (R) to survive as a nation after all.
Nothing else can save us.
Models that are tested only with historical data are close to worthless.
Well, it’s obvious that since neither Mittens nor Pawlenty are growing legs, the MSM has to push another “consensus” candidate on us.
No thanks. . . .we’ll choose a candidate all by ourselves!!
Obviously the computer has Palin Derangement Syndrome.
BS.
I´ll do my own thinking, thank you.
SARAH!
Perry is on my short-list of candidates I will support but this article and this idea of a “non-partisan computer forecasting election results” is stupid on so many levels I’d rather not take the time to go into it.
Let me just summarize my thinking on the article and the concept:
Garbage In, Garbage Out
Um, No.
There’s an old concept with computers known as Garbage In, Garbage Out. Put in crap data, you get crap results.
Someone needs to disconnect the scanner from the toilet.
Would that be one of those magic black balls you ask questions?
