Un-Unskewed Polls

With the mini-uproar over Nate Silver's update on the state of the Senate race I just realized there's money to be made - I mean, people that need to hear the real story that the RW media is hiding from you.

I'm going to start a website that removes Nate's climate change denying Libertarian bias in interpreting polls to show the true results that will be coming in November 2014.

Hint: Democratic Tsunami!

Nate is clearly giving too much weight to legitimate pollsters and this far out, that's really an absurd way to make predictions.

Un-Unskewed Polls will give proportionate weight to Democratic forums (less weight to KOS) and Twitter feeds instead of only the self-selecting, "home and answered phone" polls.

Once these numbers are gathered we'll see that the real numbers will be D 60-40 in the Senate (give or take) and we're taking back the house.

Don't let 538 get you down - he has an agenda. He wants his predictions to come true so that he looks better. Don't fall for it.
