"I don't know what you're talking about. Pretty much everyone, even folks like Nate Silver, thought the Republicans would take the House by winning more than 50+ seats..."

I'll refresh your memory: you were babbling away about how the rapidly rising stock market in the fall of 2010 was "almost like an October surprise" for the Democrats that would cost the Tea Party big time. You can try your revisionist history but I still remember your argument because it was so laughably bad...

I have no idea of the context or the point I was making in some random post from 2010. My track record of predictions is generally quite good because they are grounded in reality rather than wishful thinking.

The idea that we could "unskew" polls was just stupid. That ridiculous unskewedpolls website deserves to be laughed at. That so many conservatives bought into this nonsense was troubling. Calling out stuff like this so it doesn't happen again is a valuable exercise.
