Mitt isn't even pres yet and he's aged 10 years on the campaign trail (not least because he's been campaigning for 10 years, but still ...)

o man schwarzenegger and pacino prank calls were some of the first things i ever downloaded, off of audiogalaxy forever ago. so weird to see it pop up like that.

I wonder if his sons do this to him all the time. Like it was just Schwarzenegger this time, but last time he was speaking to Daniel Plainview about petroleum concerns.

it's weird bc the model is showing the highest % for obama since it started (now at 85.7%) - also nate is all about electoral ties right now even tho the model indicates they'll only happen a whopping 0.6% of the time???

it's in the interest of Nate's publisher to look for storylines other than "yep, this is all wrapped up" xp

one of the things i like most about nate tho is that he generally is good at resisting nonsense storylines.

oh I don't think he's making anything up, it's just gotta be boring (and bad for pageviews) to make every update "yep, O is still winning by a lot!"

Yeah, he's got to get a post a day up, and there's not a lot of change most days, so a lot of them are going to be "Could _this_ happen? *massive nerd-out*... so, in conclusion, no"
Specifically the race tightening is about "maybe a little, but remember that the country-wide polls don't matter shit compared to the swing states".

When I was around 9 and I learned about the electoral college. I figured out that someone could win the popular vote but lose the election and I was quite distressed by this, so I used the library computer to email President Clinton that I had discovered a glaring flaw in our electoral system.
I got a letter in the mail thanking me for my interest in the electoral process. Now that Nate Silver has predicted that Romney will be anointed against the people's will, throwing us into civil war, I suppose I'll be drafted to fight the Federated States of The Real America. If only Clinton had heeded my warning.

In all these various electoral scenarios, Florida and Virginia aren't crucial if Obama wins Ohio/Michigan/Pennsylvania, right?

That 538 post bears out the idea that state polls follow national. Inexplicable and grim.
