CALLING IT: Nate Silver has Romney at 14.2% Chance of Winning. Nate's Accuracy is UNRIVALED | |
| CrazyEyesThreadKilla User ID: 27024862 11/04/2012 11:15 PM ![]() Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This election is unprecedented. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1207399 Obama is the first black President. He along with the Democrats have played the race card over and over. It has become racist to say you are voting for the white guy whatever your reasons. Therefore .. his method is fucked. This. If the caller is black, which is often discernible by voice or diction, some respondents will hesitate to declare their dislike for Obama for fear of being perceived as racist. This could also be true if the caller is white, but the pattern will be most significant with a black caller. Pundits like Silver fail to understand the extent to which conservatives are consistently made to feel like they are mean/bad/evil by the media, and as a result, even when they are confident in the goodness/justice/truth of their views, they are hesitant to articulate them to strangers. Obama was the candidate in 2008 and this rule you propose didn't seem to apply when this dude predicted correctly 49 out of 50 state electoral results (he missed Indiana which actually went to Obama by less than 1%). 2008 was a special election in that it was the first black president. Many white who voted for Obama in 2008 and will not vote for him in 2012 will be sensitive to accusations of racism, particularly since many of those same white voters took pride in their support of a the first black president in 2008. I'm not saying Silver will be wrong. My point is that the polling results of a white v. white election will always behave differently than a white v. black election and the effect will be more pronounced this time due to the historic nature of Obama's election.

We just like discussing the possibility that he wont. Quoting: a helpless lamb But seriously, you aren't telling us something we don't already know. While I have no idea if I represent "most people here on GLP"..... I believe Romney is going to win....but we shall see. Hopefully if Obama wins, white people will not riot. :) |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 3607425 11/04/2012 11:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The guy predicted 49 out of 50 states correctly in 2008, as well as 35 out of 35 US Senate races. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26862796 Damn straight, and I hope this remains pinned until Obama is re-elected in the landslide victory. Then let it be a lesson to all those who got duped by their own media outlets claiming Romney was ahead. All these claims of "garbage in garbage out" and "Nate don't know shit", keep on talking. Nate knows "garbage", he's the best in the biz, he is not partisan, he calls it like it is nearly 100% of the time. It's over, move on. |

GOP will be even more infuriated. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 26357200 11/04/2012 11:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | He is wrong. Republicans and Conservatives will vote like it's 2010 only more so. We've been voting overwhelmingly in special elections like Brown and Scott and the VA governors's race as well. This time we get to vote AGAINST Obama so there is a special thrill and incentive to show up. IOW all the polls are dead wrong. If Nate Silver is relying on any of them, he will have egg on his face. The only factor in Silver's favor is election fraud and voter fraud. Otherwise this election will be a romp on all levels for Republicans. |

I have a big grin on my face watching you Rombots go into full meltdown. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 3607425 THe only reason anyone would be choosing to support Obammy is because they love big government, and a police control state. I also sit with a big grin on my face as I sit and watch you get what is coming to you in short order. You've already lost and don't know it. Cling to evil and worship and your alter while you can, you are in some serious deep shit. |

Romney should not be on the Republican party ticket. He should run as an independent. All he does is spew fear, religious extremism and war. You must realise that if Romney is elected there will be war with Iran, possibly nuclear war with Russia and a trade war with China (who will dump all of their US treasuries and kill the Dollar). You may say that Obama sucks, but Romney is a smug rich war-mongering extremist. |

| Guru User ID: 23387197 11/05/2012 12:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Consider these facts also: There is a significant shift in the electorate in 2012 compared to 2008, in favor of Republicans. Fewer Republicans will break with their party and support Obama compared with 2008. A good number of Republicans foolishly accepted Obama's hype, lies and reverse racism in 2008 and voted for him, they won't be fooled twice. No Republican who supported McCain in 2008 will switch now and support Obama in 2012, either. More so-called Democrats will support Romney compared with 2008. Most are Communists or clueless libtards, but there may be a few that have not drunk the koolaid and still want to live in a free society. Independents got hookwinked by the hope and charge bullshit in 2008 and actually believed Obama was who he claimed to be during the campaign, the great uniter and Mr. Transparency. Lol! How anyone with a functioning brain thought he would be someone different than his background and associations would indicate (in other words, a community agitator turned islamonegro communist), I have no idea. Now in 2012, most realize that fundamentally transforming the United States of America into a communist regime with shariah law and stripped Bill of Rights, personal freedom, and confiscation of private property is not in their best interests. Well if I'm wrong (along with Dick Morris, Michael Barone, etc) and Nate Silver turns out to be right, where can I go ? Galt's Gulch it might be for me... Vanuatu ? Cayman Islands ? Maybe Switzerland but I'd need some serious Rosetta Stone work !! |

It's not even election night, and I see HUGE lines to vote, full of minorities, who bring their kids with them because no baby-sitter I guess. Who are those voters OVERWHELMINGLY voting for? Romney? And that's not even counting fraud, which let's face it, Republicans have NO way of stopping. I am sorry to say this but: What did Republicans expect? Knowing how critically important for this nation's future to get rid of Obama... they couldn't even get behind the GOP candidate until with just 1 month left before the election when Romney stunned the world by thrashing Obama in the 1st debate. Talk about the worst kind of band-wagon jumping! Truth of the matter is, Obama was able to reign all the disparate interest groups within his broad coalition. But Romeny? Tea Party tried to sabotage him anywhere they could for better part of a year. And Libertarian Republicans got such a butt-hurt because Ron Paul was proclaimed winner of RNC, that they demostratively STABBED Romney in the back by either not voting or voting for Communist anti-Christ personified -- Obama! Even the "moderate" Establishment Republicans betrayed Romney when he needed them most: Chris Christie, Michael Bloomberg and Colin Powell all within days all but endorsed Obama. Disgusting and very sad. So it's a freakin miracle that despite all that betrayal by various splinter factions within GOP, and also the unrelenting character-assassination campaign by the Obama folks..... Romney appears to be as close as he is in Ohio and according to one poll even competitive in Pennsylvania. In the end, however, I am afraid one thing will trump all others: Democrats/Communists WANT THE POWER MORE than Republicans do. And they will sell their collective to the Devil, to get it. So watch out. |
