Good Morning Visionaries,<br><br>With regard to the main theme of this thread (my, how we wander<br>about!), I have to report that Nate Silver of fivethirtyeight.com is<br>slipping a bit. In 2010 he accurately projected big gains for the GOP<br>in the House (so much for a bias!), and predicted the 2008 popular<br>vote by .1 percent.<br><br>This year he was .3 percent above the popular vote, 2-3 seats short on<br>the Demo Senate, and 19 points shy of Obama's electoral count. Again,<br>so much for a Demo bias.<br><br>The pollsters, all slammed by Faux News and the GOP, were right, and<br>if anything, underestimated the Senate and Obama victories. Not much<br>we can do about a gerrymandered House, but the Dems made some gains<br>there, too. NBC is predicting a 5 seat gain for them.<br><br>As the economy improves, I predict more gains in both House and Senate<br>in 2014. The GOP is dying on craggy vine of white male
