Silver's model could have been wrong even if Obama wins. It depends on whether or not any of the places he called for Obama or Romney based on the polls were outside of the margins of what they should have been or all together wrong. Its not about the result but how you get there.

I know it's an unpopular opinion but I like the two party system more than any singular party. The system itself isn't perfect but it works. When one side gains an advantage, the other side is forced to conform more to popular opinion to make up the ground. And then that process is repeated forever by each side to ensure they can appeal to ~50% of the population. Again, far from perfect and it makes progress extremely slow ... but it works.

I don't really see the GOP coming out of crazytown anytime soon. Who's the voice of moderation in the GOP? They're going to do what they did last election cycle, claim that Romney wasn't conservative enough, and keep trying to push to the right. They'll probably say, "Hey, we lost by a ton with McCain, who was a maverick, and then we lost by a little less with a Republican who ran Massachusetts and implemented Obamacare! Next time, we need a deep south Republican who's never voted on anything sponsored by a Democrat!"

I know it's an unpopular opinion but I like the two party system more than any singular party. The system itself isn't perfect but it works. When one side gains an advantage, the other side is forced to conform more to popular opinion to make up the ground. And then that process is repeated forever by each side to ensure they can appeal to ~50% of the population. Again, far from perfect and it makes progress extremely slow ... but it works.

I'd like to say the Democrats will keep winning until Republicans reform their social policy, but I don't see a Democrat taking the steps needed to sort out the debt and deficit. Eventually the economic house of cards will fall down under Democrats and the electorate will elect anybody but a Democrat, regardless of Republican social policy.
