    Post Conservatives on Twitter are Aggressively attacking Nate Silver

    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.

    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.

    Actually, they crap their pants.
    “One may come to the aid of another being unlawfully arrested, just as he may where one is being assaulted, molested, raped or kidnapped. Thus it is not an offense to liberate one from the unlawful custody of an officer, even though he may have submitted to such custody, without resistance.” (Adams v. State, 121 Ga. 16, 48 S.E. 910).

    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.

    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.

    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.
    "Your mother's dead, before long I'll be dead, and you...and your brother and your sister and all of her children, all of us dead, all of us..rotting in the ground. It's the family name that lives on. It's all that lives on. Not your personal glory, not your honor, but family." - Tywin Lannister
