And after tonight he should do the honorable thing and jump off the top the NY Slimes Building. Or down an elevator shaft, either works for me.
I never heard of Nate Silver until about two weeks ago. Who is this guy?
Reading Silver’s tweets at the link, it’s clear that he was taken aback by the data, then spent the rest of the night reassuring himself that it doesn’t mean anything. He’s stuck his neck way out, especially with his prediction of a 3-4 point Obama win in Ohio, so if he’s wrong there’s a ton of egg on his face. Thus he’s in rationalizing mode, if you’re out on a limb better hope for the best.

There are going to be some exploding heads tonight - and none of them will be yours! ;)
