Conservatives on Twitter are Aggressively attacking Nate Silver

[AngryCanadian]

I have never seen so many Conservatives on Twitter attacking pollsters like this before let alone 2008.

Heres a tweet from Sean Davis adviser to Gov. Perry.


Predictions welcome: at what time tonight will Nate the Great (@fivethirtyeight) have his first wrong state?

Replies.


8 PM. NH goes Romney


8pm. Virginia.


730. Ohio.

When asked that Nate has never been wrong before.


Riiight. Except for IN in 2008, AK and CO and NV Senate races in 2010, and the entire U.K. parliamentary elections.

There's a 92% chance that tomorrow, I will unfollow Nate Silver.


NATE SILVER: Obama's Odds Of Winning Have Now Hit 85%/// this is just one others put it at around 63-66%

I have never seen Conservatives been Aggressively as on Today that sounds pretty much desperately.

not surprised. Ever seen someone die?...usually they have a last gasp twitch and heavy breathing before their heart stops.

These people are going to look like total idiots tonight if Silver turns out to be right. Maybe the shock to the brain by a large Obama victory will be enough to open their minds.

They'll just claim voter fraud and media collusion. They'd have to admit that they simply waste their time supporting their faux candidates, and they don't want to do that.

if Obama wins Ohio its over and Obama is leading nearly every poll there that's why he has it so high.

For Romney to win the scientific polls in Ohio have to be hopelessly wrong

Based on the high registration levels I'm hearing in the rural counties in Pennsylvania that abstained from voting for McCain in 2008, Silver's projections look off.

wishin' or hoping' ?

Neither. I'm voting Virgil Goode. But the anti-Obama vote is very strong based on registration reports. I wouldn't be surprised to see Romney steal Pennsylvania and lose Ohio.

Those people aren't conservatives. They're big government Republican statists. You have to be if you support Mitt Romney.

It's not just Silver, it's pretty much everyone. (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/pa/pennsylvania_romney_vs_obama-1891.html)

So you can get millions of website hits by just claiming to get 48/49 out of 50 states correct and blogging about it? I think political blogging might be the career for me, I majored in stats.

I've never seen a polling place as filled as mine this morning. Usually I'm the only voter there. Obama is turning out his people in droves.
