Waiting for the 538 real model about Senate and Governor races...

[Lurker]

This new 538 is really made of fail. And I say this as one of Nate's earliest fans.

Are you only saying that because it doesn't show Democrats to have an advantage?

I think he's saying that because the new 538 has still not launched their official model of the 2014 midterm elections - yet they still have time to run articles about the statistical accuracy of tarot readers and the effects of binge-watching the Simpsons on the human brain.

Election forecasting and predictions is what made Mr. Silver famous--whether or not he realizes it, that is what his appeal is built upon. Instead, he's traveling the country to find America's Best Burrito.

Under flawed methodology too.

What methodology? Effectively it amounts to nothing little more than one woman tasting 64 different burritos (or something like that) and deciding which one she likes the best. Though that's not even the worst, or least interesting, part of the new 538...
