Here is why I think FOX and the right MSM know Nate Silver is right! [View all]

Because FOX News has not found a republican version of Nate to make it look like Romney is going to win!

I guarantee that Fox News has searched high and low for a rightwing professor or rightwing statistician and asked them to come up with a counter to Nates numbers!

And I bet the answer from all of these people is "Nates methodology is correct!"

And I guarantee Fox News asked these people to some how cook stats showing that Romney has a > 50% chance of winning.

And I bet these professors/statisticians said "I cannot do that without looking foolish or ruining my reputation!"

You know this is annoying the hell out of the rightwing meda and if they could find someone to prove Nate wrong they would!

Since they have not found anyone, it makes me think Nate is right on mathematically!
