In reply to the discussion: Nate Silver Predicts GOP Senate Win in 2014 [View all]Johonny
(21,193 posts)43. Don't you think it has something to do with the headline
Nate Silver doesn't predict the GOP will win the senate at all. He merely is offering that there is a probability greater than 50/50 that they will. As people pointed out the head line doesn't do the guy any favors.
