Liberal Election Guru Nate Silver: Republicans Likely to Take Senate

[drivebyheckler]

I wasn't around this cesspool much during the run up to the 2012 election. However, I will venture to guess that liberals were touting the brilliance of Nate Silver, who predicted Obama was going to win. Liberals were doing so on another board, and liberals generally behave the same everywhere.

Nate Silver is giving Republicans a 60% chance of taking over the Senate.

I have a feeling liberals aren't so fond of Nate Silver anymore.

 

[as seen on tv]

this was discussed several days ago . . .

i think the consensus of the PJ left fell along 2 conclusions, LOL

a - "he's lying"

and

b - "people really love obamacare, despite all the media reports, polls, and horror stories"

Ah, sorry I missed that. Yes, of course, he's lying. Oh and I guess we're all supposed to take a cue from nut cases like Nancy Pelosi and Ellen Degenerate and pretend everyone just loves Obamacare.

Uh, actually, ASOT....I agree with Nate Silver.

I think 60% chance is a pretty good guess at the odds of the GOP getting the majority in the Senate.

What will be interesting is the "hangover"....that the Right will get after they are through celebrating on Election Night this November, when they realize that while the Senate Majority Leader is a Republican?

His name will be......"Mitch McConnell"....a guy who is now royally pissed off at the Tea Partyers for challenging him.

I think both you and Nate Silver are underestimating the ability of Republicans to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Sure, there's a chance you'd get some Todd "legitimate rape" Akin or Richard "pregnancy from rape is God's plan" Mourdock candidate shooting his/her mouth off....

but most of them will be CRUSHED by the RNC in the Primary process......Stockman in Texas, next up will be Bevin in Kentucky, the "Other Guys" in South Carolina, the Nutty Doctor in Kansas.

I'm going with a "fair to good chance" of a GOP majority in the Senate after November.
