Nate Silver Talks Us Down
Nate Silver of 538 has become something of a statistical demi-god this election season. In a post over on ontd_political, he, via a concerned citizen, helps us get perspective on the end of race "tightening" that happens at the end of every political race. See, we Democrats have become so adept at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in recent years that we're all stressing over McCain picking up the odd percentage point here or there, even though there doesn't seem to be more than about a 3.7% chance he can win.
In reading the comments from that post, it seems the most common reaction is "I'M FREAKING THE FUCK OUT".
I can relate.
