Clinton -300

Trump +210. 

Still not too late to double your money on the Trumpster!!

But more importantly, Nate Silver (who is the best in the biz, period) has him up to a 35% chance of winning the election.   He was at like 15% a few weeks ago.  Quite a surge.

As my old man would say, I resemble that statement.

What has caused Mr. Silver to alter his prediction?  Surely he and you not dare to admit that Mrs. Clinton has an "ever so slightly" flawed character?  Isn't it Trump who is the bad guy and Mrs. Clinton is as pure as the wind driven snow and all of this controversy is simply a continuation of that infamous "vast right wing conspiracy"?

It's that time of the year for Hoops.  His mind and thoughts are no longer on something as mundane as the run for president.  He hears the sound of the swish of the net, balls being dribbled, the leap and the slam dunk.  He is now useless as a potential presidential analyst.  If you want to know if PAM beats Ozen in basketball, he's your man.  Right now, he wouldn't know a qualified politician from a Nebraska farmer.

Silver's prediction is based on a wide array of polling, none of which is his.  He's a math guy, not a pollster.  Any personal or subjective thoughts he may have is not factored in, obviously.   And after getting 99 out of 100 states correctly in the last 2 elections, I would say is better than most, if not all who do his type of work.

It is apparent to me that his data or the manner in which he "quantifies" his data has changed significantly recently.
