You are right, he IS their security blanket. All the lib publications, DU, Huffpo, Mother Jones, etc, ALL of them are ignoring all other polls, ignoring the crowds at Romney events, ignoring the tiny crowds at Obama events - and placing ALL their hope in Nate Silver - and a few other guru type numbers crunchers.
This is who liberals are. They live in a bubble of academia, stats, and totally divorce themselves from the real world. They will be a BIG target in my book, which will go on sale NOV 8TH - describing how the media bubble has been wrong for four solid years, and that Obama’s loss was always in the cards.
I will poke a LOT of fun at Mr. Silver and his legions of clueless followers.
Nate Silver is the Bev Harris of 2012.
All their models anticipate 2008+ turnout. They’re going to be shocked. Look at the early voting numbers. Big drop off for Democrats.
