Remember when we despaired because Clinton dropped...

... 3% in 3 days? Well, she's up by 3 points since 11:30 last night at 538. And that's without the PPP polls that someone posted about.

I've figured out that I have another reason to watch 538. It has bigger changes faster. More pellets every time I push the lever.

2. Silver has a program that spits out numbers

He inputs polls, and it outputs a %. Nate is a slave to his model and he's not going to change it one bit. His model trended down for Hillary for a week and now it's reversed itself. Has zero to do with Nate's opinion and I think he shouldn't be defending it at all because he seems to be emotionally attached to it now.

It's a model, none are perfect, but you can't just change them mid election season or people will accuse you of bias.

3. Nom! Pellets!

4. I use it to find state polls ...his model is faulty...not useful for anything else.
