Good initiative, but a little naive to think the gloating can be kept to one thread - would be nice if it could, though.

So as I stated in the other thread, the polls haven't been meaningfully biased in favor of Democrats since 2002. That seems like a trend to me.

It is indeed crazy how much the polling was off.

Anyway, congrats to all the Republicans on here and your good night.  I look forward to our next great duel in two years.

I'm honestly too shocked to do any gloating right now.


It's... it's glorious.

No gloating, we need to be better than that.  This was a hard fought race and kicking dirt in Democrats eyes is unnecessary.

Don't forget the six month circle jerk after 2012. We won, and we probably are going to lose in 2016. So lets party it up!

Indeed.  2016 will be brutal, but the GOP looks like they'll be stockpiling seats. 

I think it's ironic that I just decided to officially change my status to Republican days before this massive victory. Tongue

You guys earned it. It's been mostly Dem victories for the past 8 years (yeah, 2010 was a big wave but there were a lot of GOP f(inks)-ups that year too). Politics is give and take.

Except Dems seem to have a weird structural disadvantage when it comes to state legislatures. That hasn't changed since the 1990s.

Huh? If you were going to quote one of my posts to mock, couldn't you have picked a better one than something that was literally a fact until tonight?

I am not taking partisan delight so much as delight in those with fallacious understanding of statistics eating it. Your attempts to extrapolate a trend from such a small sample size amuses me.

So is this better for the GOP than 2010? I say yes.

That's what politics is about, buddy. Presidential elections as a whole are an extremely small sample size. Does that mean people should stop analyzing them?

I feel the same way.

I am especially shocked about the results of the Illinois Gubernatorial Race and the North Carolina and Virginia Senate Race(s).

If you call what Dean Chambers and yourself did "analysis," then yes.

Christ, there must be so much jizz under the desk at Fox News. Its one orgasm after another over there. A stark contrast to 2008 and 2012.

LOL, please point to where I unskewed a poll. I'll wait.

This comes awfully close:

Either the polling is going to not have a Republican skew or it will, meaning the effect will be either neutral or favoring Democrats. Same for vote by mail, there's really no scenario in which one could imagine this benefitting Republicans, meaning the only possibilities are that it will be a neutral factor or will favor Democrats. There's the possibility that the polling average could favor Democrats, but it seems very slim considering the history of the state.

No, it really doesn't. Learn what "unskewing" actually is. And you conveniently omitted the fact that I was referring solely to Colorado in that post.

The polls were way off, particularly in KS and VA.
Marquette was spot on. So was Selzer.
