Statistics aren’t liberal or conservative.

Statistics are not facts either. But that doesn’t stop either side from abusing them.

Hypocrisy abounds. The dude abides.

Yes, it’s completely baffling that a Marxist Koz Kidz and NYT blogger doesn’t get support at hotair.

Perhaps not. But, that doesn’t change the fact that the most accurate pollster was PPP (hired by Daily Kos) and Nate Silver was the most accurate analyst/forecaster. That doesn’t mean they’ll always be right, but it seems unwise to dismiss them out of hand.

His forecasting is fine though. Have you read any of his posts? I havent seen one that is opinionated.

That’s some great comedy right there. You should try writing for SNL – they need some help.

Sure, I read him, to see what the other side is up to. All of Silver’s posts have a severely liberal bias. I do think our side would be better informed if Michael Barone and Sean Trende were rigorous in number crunching in a conservative way like Silver does on the liberal side. But the conservative media model in the 2000′s is set up for cheerleading and not for debate, so that’s not going to happen.

Nate Silver: I might stop doing electoral modeling if it starts influencing elections

So in other words, his early 2014 models are showing that a six year itch will in fact come?

Some of you are completely unprincipled.
