lol this thread is great. Legitimate criticism of a pollster? HOW DARE YOU NATE SILVER? WITHOUT PPP YOU WOULD BE sh**t!!!
I don't think anybody would have a problem if Cohn and Silver directed their criticism to crappy pollsters like Mason-Dixon and Rasmussen.
But trying to discredit PPP by ignoring it's record and focusing on technicalities that have little interest for non-statisticians, they both come off as petty. Frankly it looks as if they both have some personal grudge against the company and Tom Jensen.
They're statisticians. They have a right to do so. Cry me a finksing river.
