And that's it (OH 11:15 EST). Democrats called it but only by luck. Hindsight will make them claim they knew better. The war goes on. The Democrats and their sheep will continue to destroy the nation.

Re: The 2012 Election
Looks like the biggest winner tonight is Nate Silver, and the biggest losers are all the republican poll "unskewers." All that nonsense about oversampling democrats....
Some pollster heads will surely roll.

Re: The 2012 Election
I doubt it. The take home is that poll averaging works. Nate Silver's method works. Sam Wang's method works. All this carping about them being "liberals" has been shown up as the nonsense it is. This should be the death of poll unskewing, at least among the remaining rational republicans.

Re: The 2012 Election
So it looks like I'm going 50 out of 51. I slipped on Florida which should come home to Obama, but if it does it will be the exact prediction I made of 332-206 six months ago in the OP of this thread. Pretty darn good on my part.

Re: The 2012 Election
Someone interrupted my beauty sleep last night with a pair of text messages. I live and breathe by the prophet Nate Silver. Wasn't worried.
