Obama’s big win does not mean Nate Silver is a towering electoral genius.

Yet, you doubted him. Hmm . . .

I'll say it for the tenth time. I doubted the data. What Silver did with that data is something any undergrad could do. The reason for doubting the polling data was that many (including myself) thought the 2008 electorate was an anomaly, instead of what it really was -- a real shift.

You think the polling data was only correct for 2008? What about almost every election for the past 50 years? How did polls do then? Have polls historically been accurate or not?

[MannyIsGod]

BTW that many that thought the 2008 election was an anaomoly consisted of GOP bloggers and pundits. Such an unbaiased group.

I like how Fox can't even hide its racism when discussing voter Demographics. Instead of stuff like, "This isn't your father's America anymore!" they might as well come out and say, "We didn't anticipate n!ggers and sp!cs voting at the rate they did."

Fox Repug network, explicity BillO, showed very clearly that the critical Repug base is white, male, racist, uneducated, and scared less by women and non-whites diminishing their privileges and power.

n!ggers have always been pro democrats in general. most of them voted for obama but it wasn't just because obama was black imho. s have a tradition of supporting democrats n obama is a fake black

Looks like they've been pretty good since 1980.

why people need two accounts is beyond me.

Yeah, but that particular troll was brilliantly introduced and used for a short time.

I just said as much in the thread in which it was introduced. I have to give it to him, that is probably the first time an obvious troll has made me laugh that hard. (I am surprised I didn't remember the introduction from the first time I read that thread). I also find it great that you and findog actually received spurs for it. LOL

Oh, no I mean I literally JUST said as much in the thread. I only reread half of it so maybe I did make mention of it later in the thread. I don't remember if I ever even commented in it. I do rememeber the thread though.

Oh and Yes, as I was reading the beginning of it I was thinking, that is not the DR I know now!
