The Upturn Continues On Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight Forecast Graphs! (Updated at 4 p.m. Monday)

2. Can we not be silly about this?

Even Nate Silver has aborted Operation Romney Bounce!

"EVEN" Silver? Implying Silver was somehow participating in any kind of 'operation' to show Romney bouncing is completely unwarranted, I can only hope that was over the top sarcasm gone wrong. Of all polling analysts in the game he's consistently been the most unbiased and focused purely on what the data really was saying. I wish he'd take a more critical look at Gravis but even there I see no grounds for concluding that he's somehow conspiring to include data he thinks is bogus. He just appears to have been caught sleeping a bit on that one.

He was skeptical of the bounce Romney was receiving the entire time, has never had him as leading or a favorite or even even odds, and making wisecracks about him being somehow in on something is uncalled for.
