They can't stand that his math wasn't tailored to the results they desired. Regardless of whether his future outcomes predict a republican/democratic candidate, I'll have faith that his math is accurate and reliable.

Math and science rules over "belief". This election proved it. Thank you, Nate Silver!

The trashing of Nate by the wingnuts is just a symptom of the greater issue plaguing those folks - a general distrust of logic and science - and it's systematic replacement by dogma, cynicism and paranoia. You can see it in the way they attacked Nate and the way they attack Climate Change.

Yep. I listen to partisan hacks like this dude:

UnSkewed Polls -- erasing the bias to show an accurate picture of politics

And when a real talent comes along who challenges my thinking, I trash him/her.

I am a conservative.

You are right to point out that the distrust of Nate Silver and climate scientists are equally ignorant.

Repubs are a little behind. They had Rove trying to do their estimates. He was using a sharpie to make notes on Fox. Ha.
