While my friends were freaking out on Tuesday, I used his numbers to stay calm. The numbers were always there for the left. The media knew, but they like to promote fear. Numbers don't lie, the media does!

I was calm too thanks to Silver.

He didn't get it right. He called Wisconsin wrong. There were other analysts who got all states correct.

Nate called Wisconsin for Obama didn't that happen?

He called Wisconsin as blue on his map in my post. How did he get it wrong. He had it as a solid blue:

President Barack Obama won the state of Wisconsin and all 10 electoral votes that come with it.
