Making a bet doesn't seem certain to me.
I thought he was trying to make a point that 80% != " toss up" which != 50/50. To call out that fallacy, he offered a bet as a counter example to the weather analogy. You take the better odds, of course.
God this stuff is amazing.
"He's all three." *holds up three fingers*
I was expecting crazy, but that got me good. Wow.
Dat Sandy bump.
I'm sure that was his intention, I just think he did a poor job getting it through.
And again, I don't think it's a huge deal.

Finally the voice of reason. He's too good for them.
The independent bump looks like the Obama-Christie cooperation had a tangible political benefit.

People don't understand that when 538 was at 87%, that meant that no matter what that from then on we were either in the 87 out of 100 scenarios where Obama wins, or in the 13 out of 100 scenarios where Romney wins.
It should be clear that we're in one of the 87 scenarios. What the current score of 81% means is that we aren't in a portion of those 87 scenarios. It's hard to imagine that any of Romney's 13% of scenarios involves still polling like this.

Got this from Reddit, though it was an interesting "interview":

Bush was a good president? Wait whaaat!?
Also the lady @ 1:03 is very misinformed.Romney is not a Christian.
Poor Nate. He swings back a little after people have been dogpiling on him for a month and people freak out.

Back above 80% on 538
Bad news for trolls
I for one am a bit ashamed for bringing up the "old media" label. It's just that I'll always see Nate as an independent blogger and at first blush the criticism as presented seemed arrogant. I'd take the best parts of the old media over websites like Huff-Po any day of the week.

But two sentences later he explicitly complements the hard work and determination of people creating their own businesses.

I love these pun headlines on Romney's lies

My BP was 162 over something today when I left work.
He's got this. Right guys? Right? The sheer possibility of a Romney win is making me ill. And educators whose jobs will be affected just loooooove ol' Mittens. If I have to pretend to like Mitt for 4 years while he decimates this country I'll implode.

When NBC/ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC call the election for Obama, everyone's first response better be Bad news for obama

Well . . . it is. 4 more years of getting bitched at, death threats, endless harassment by Fox, long hours, etc. There is no way I'd take the job.

So? We want a LEADER in chief not a CELEBRITY in chief. Even Michael Jordan listens to hiphop but that doesn't make him a LEADER.
Thats no joke
Yeah but what if his approval numbers fall below 50 on the Wednesday after the election in the Gallup daily tracker?

Honestly don't know why anyone would want to be president. You work like a madman, age fast, have you and your family criticized about everything, lose all privacy. I'd much rather just be a cabinet member or adviser.

NBC/ABC/CBS/CNN/MSNBC: Obama has won the election.
Fox: Romney won. Our map shows the true winner is Romney and the election has been rigged.
Poligaf: Bad news for Obama.

Sit down, take a deep breath, stay frosty, vote if you haven't already, encourage your family, friends, and strangers you suspect will vote for your guy to vote, relax, tune out even, and stop visiting this thread. Your health is more important than fussing over who's going to win.
I actually bet Fox calls it before CNN.
CNN will be the last to call it.
Dead heat and all that jazz.

Hmm interesting. I guess Chuck Zod will be the first to call it then.

Nah actually come election night its actually a race to be the quickest. People want to know first and they can brag "CNN viewers were the first to hear of Obama's relection, watch CNN. watch breaking news" or some other type of ad like that.
Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Fox News covering Libya isn't surprising but its not going to gain any traction with the wreckage of Sandy sitting there and the election 4 days out. I mean ffs it wasn't gaining traction BEFORE Sandy and frankly, Fox doesn't have a better story now or more evidence than it did then. It's just harping on it at an inappropriate time.

How can FOX still be covering Libya? That shit happened almost 2 months ago now and Obama did nothing wrong!
What I don't understand is why they keep at it. It's just preaching to the choir at this point with them. Actually I think it could do damage since they keep talking about it over and over again it could make some of their viewers try reading up on it on their own and they'll see what Fox is ignoring and how they're trying to spin it.
Been doing calls through the dashboard. Know personally at least 12 people in NC voting Obama that were voting Romney before I talked with them. Super proud of a few of those that I talked with.
I guess, as an educator, I'm super disappointed in the populace of our country. I thought we were better than this. Big mistake. Hearing teachers talk about increasing military spending but cutting health care, especially as "Christians" blows my mind. So these people are ok increasing debt and spending to bomb more people halfway around the world because they worship a different book than your book, but you won't heal your own American brothers and sisters?
I'm ranting again. I need to go work on my drinking problem.
Oh and this week started our global warming unit. So that has been fun.
I think I need to move.
