While I am certain Nate Silver is a sharp guy, his Obama prognostication in 2008 and 12 seem to be the outliers in his success rate. I have no idea how he got those SO right when he can’t seem to get close to accurate in other areas. In 2008 I figured he just used inside data to get his numbers. However in 2012 he picked the states exactly right. He definitely has some model that gets these electoral votes correct.

George Soros informed him quietly about how the election fraud was going to play out.

He had inside access to the campaign and had access to a lot more polls.

There's nothing worth reading after that patently absurd statement. Nate Silver is bought and paid for by the evil trio of hussein/holder/jarrett. And as I already mentioned, his recent article in the ESPN magazine reveals how dim-witted he really is. Go ahead, read his disjointed writings in Rich Data, Poor Data. It's a bizarre enumeration of unrelated factoids, so very typical of pointy-headed leftist.

The reason he got 2008 and 2012 right was because the polls for those two elections were all showing the same thing, an Obama victory
