Nate Silver was not the most accurate Pundit
Josh Putnan was..... Slate has a bullseye graph on how the pundits scored... Nate came in 2nd.
Its an active graph so I can't post it. Unskewed polls is on it too. go to link. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2012/11/pundit_scorecard_checking_pundits_predictions_against_the_actual_results.html

5. I'm so glad the NYTs hired him so he got
out on the airwaves and net.
I didn't follow Putnan at all. Anyway its an interesting graph. |

7. Does this include Florida?
Regardless, how do Nate Silver's detractors think they appear by trying so desperately to disparage him for being #2 rather than 100% perfect? He was accurate as hell, even if not perfect.
Really? How? ![]() |

8. He's not a pundit. He's a statistician. Big difference. He doesn't opine. He does numbers & lets
the numbers speak for themselves.

9. Exactly
Lumping he and Sam Wang in the same category as Dick Morris or Karl Rove is just idiotic.
