The depression is already setting in...

 

[Don the Radio Guy]

Should be an interesting night.

 

[Neon]

I am going to be bombed by the end of the night regardless of results. I can't handle this shit.

 

[Begbie]

Almost done...

Hear, hear! Yup, me too.

That gay-witch Nate Silver is now saying FLA is closer than maybe thought.

‏@fivethirtyeightRunning one last projection based on this AM's polls. Our projected margin in Florida now Obama 49.797, Romney 49.775

 

[Don the Radio Guy]

And so the Nate Silver backtracking begins. What a piece of shit.

Can't blame him. If Romney wins, his model is proven to be bullshit.

Tomorrow I'm either going to be extremely disappointed or moderately disappointed.

Nah, the moderate disappointment will take a year or two to set in.

 

[Neckbeard]

So Nate Silver is predicting that Obama will win Florida by a gnat's ass, possibly not at all, and potentially kick off Election 2000 Part II, Electric Jigaboo? Hmm, what'd Nate's model say about that possibility, huh?

How can I tell who is "winning?" This is like MNF without the scoreboard now.

 

[Absolutely]

What's the backtracking?
He's had FLA light-red in Romney's favor for a long time, he's just changed it now.

Can't wait to see that cunt eat his own words.

 

[Falldog]

Either way it's only going to get worse before it gets better.

My 5-year old says the election is between Rock O'Mama and Mitt Raleigh. Adorable.

 

[Myhairygrundle]

Who the f is Nate Silver?

 

[Begbie]

Kicker for the Dolphins...I think.

 

[Absolutely]

Who the f is Nate Silver?

Guy who nailed the 08 election, uses state polls to gauge the election. Stats guy who developed PECOTA in MLB
Hated by Republicans because he's predicted the election for Obama (313-225). Nobody can really say why he's "Shit", just that he's Obama biased.
Even though he just uses numbers...

Einhorn?

He's using 2008 democrat plus turnout numbers that aren't anywhere near accurate this year. How's that for a reason why he's shit? Specific enough for you?

Democrat plus 7 in 2008 is probably going to be dead even or Republican plus 1 this year.

How's he backtracked on FLA?

 

[Don the Radio Guy]

How's he backtracked on FLA?

So he went more in favor of Obama? Instead of backtracking he doubled down?

 

[Absolutely]

He's never had FLA in Obama's favor, I believe. It just changed today, literally from "light red" to "light blue"

 

[Begbie]

Disclaimer: If Obama manages to eek out a win...I may be drinking even heavily more than I have been...so I apologize in advance to the Wackbag mods and all posters.

Ok,I thought it was the other way around. He really is doubling down.
