Limbaugh Defends Nate Silver: Democrats Are The Poll Truthers Now! [View all]
CAITLIN MACNEAL – MARCH 26, 2014, 12:20 PM EDT
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday sympathized with polling whiz Nate Silver, characterizing him as former hero of Democrats.
"This is what they tend to do. They invest in a singular, messianic personality -- and when that person doesn't follow what they hope or want, then they are challenged," Limbaugh said on his show. "I mean, it's a sanity challenge. So they're very upset and turning on him, and it probably is going to get worse for the poor guy before it gets better."
Some Democrats criticized Silver this week when he predicted that Republicans could take back the Senate in the 2014 election. The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee executive director Guy Cecil defended four of the incumbent senators Silver picked as likely to lose to a GOP candidate.
Limbaugh charged that Democrats only like Silver when he predicts elections in their favor.
