He’s the veritable Nate Silver of Nate Silvers.

Ok…that’s what my gut has been saying all along, but I would feel much better seeing some actual separation happening in the polls.
We should all send a nice letter to Joe Miller, telling him Jeezus really, really wants him to run a write-in campaign.

I know y’all want to predict what’s going to happen in every race, so you know what’s going to happen before it happens. But voters surprise, all the time. That’s part of the system. The part I happen to like.
Nate Silver needs to worry. His name is becoming a adverb. I’m the Nate Silver of X. I’m the Nate Silver of y. Pretty soon it’ll be the natesilver of x and y, then “let’s natesilver this” (do a statistical analysis). And then where is the real Nate Silver because, unfortunately, he took a trademark on 538.com, not on Nate Silver as his trademarked brand name. You could natesilver something tomorrow as you xerox it today.
It’s worse than the problem of the multiple Dan Sullivans.

Interesting post. And from my limited personal experience…I can definitely see this happening more and more. I have four kids in their 20s. None of them answers the phone if they don’t know who’s calling. Nevermind that they haven’t used a landline in years. Meantime, those in my parent’s generation automatically answer a ringing phone. So, much easier to reach the seniors than the younger group.
The others are just virtual Nate Silvers. The best of them, however, are virtuous Nate Silvers.

Hey, don’t blame us. Hawaii started it.
I sometimes forget about the Alabammy of the north. Thanks for the update.
