538's sterile, soulless approach to politics is really kind of off putting. It's like they don't really understand its "soul," yet treat it like this exact science. It's like a bunch of high schoolers writing a report about a topic, but not really having any passion for it but thinking they're experts.

And "a state like Colorado"? The hell is that supposed to mean? Since when was it a solid blue state?

^ It has a Democratic PVI. I don't think the implication was that it's solidly blue.

Could have said that in the article. And the index is due to loony Republicans. Just looking at the last couple years there proves the PVI concept is crap

Harry Enten is awful at analysis. I have no idea why Silver hired him.

I refer you to my "soulless" comment
