Nate Silver - There Is No ‘Blue Wall’ (vote, thought, Democrats)

[Dockside]

This will tick off the GOP doomsayers who've given this election to Hillary already. One of their own isn't buying into the numbers.

Bobtn will cry himself to sleep when he reads this.

Damn! Somebody worked the numbers and the graphs to make Republicans sure winners. How cool is that? Joe the Plumber could run and win.

I thought the article made good sense. The so called blue wall looks formidable but will the next Democrat be able to enjoy the historic black turnout and maintain a huge advantage with Hispanics that Obama enjoyed. Time will tell but I'm not so sure, especially if republicans have a good likable candidate better than their last 2 candidates.

That's a pretty fair assessment, IMO.

The black vote is only one of many questions about the electorate that will be decided next year.

Pretty good article, and its right, this race can be won by a republican. ts going to depend on who.

I agree: a very interesting article. Mr. Silver certainly won my respect during the last Presidential election (when I started to read his stuff). Democrats should read his articles with care.

Not sure how his article is suppose to tick anyone off, it is pretty accurate portrayal.

This exactly what I have been saying since November of last year.
