Silver is a left leaning odds maker, not a pollster. If he is relying on SeeBS News polls, and other liberal polls, his data is going to be skewed. Plus, a computer is only as good as its programming (algorithm).

Jean Dixon got it right once (with a little stretch), let's see if Nate's career is over on Wednesday.

Frank Luntz is a fine newscaster but he does not correctly understand what Nate Silver says and does.

Nate Silver CANNOT be wrong just as the bookmakers in Las Vegas CANNOT be wrong because there is no such thing as 'right' or 'wrong' using statistical analysis.

All Nate and the bookies do is give 'odds' to the likelihoods that derive from their mathematics.

Permit me to add that 'The House always wins" over the long run. That's how bookies stay in business.

They have the highest predictive accuracy in the electoral prognostication industry and have yet to be wrong about the outcome of a presidential election.

Silver threw a football through a tire at 100 yards in the last election. I'll trust him to be more accurate at reading this election than any of the GOP hate squad stooges any day.

The party of the giant middle finger can't be the symbol of America's future.

This is simply someone who wants to influence the voters, psychologically.

The divide in this country, is about those who follow party, when it doesn't even make any sense, and those who want accountability in government.

Plain and simple.

I will NEVER vote for a man who simply wants to become a dictator in America.
