NATE SILVER, YOU ARE MY ROCK ( a poem)

Nate Silver
You are my rock
During this turbulent presidential election season
When the race has appeared so close
And Apocalyptic Predictions persist that Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan
Might actually occupy the White House come January
Your daily fivethirtyeight.com blog
Has been my anchor
Assuring me that Barack Obama remains the favorite
To carry the Electoral College on November 6.
Your reporting and analyzing virtually every political poll
In the Swing States using micro, adidas superstar New England Patriots Jerseys adidas messi astro Canotta NBA adidas superstar hombre and
Frankly often incomprehensible methodology
Has given me Hope and Solace throughout the campaign
Even if I often did not understand
What the heck you were talking about.
In the Darkest of Dark Days
Otherwise known as “After the First Debate”
When Mitt Romney seemed ascendant and
The President went into free-fall
And amongst Democrats there was a
Great Wailing and Gnashing of Teeth
You were there with your Statistics
Your unemotional, uggs buy uk Washington Redskins Jerseys

adidas nmd hombre goedkope nike air max non-hysterical numbers
To grant us Perspective.
To show us that while Obama’s odds of victory
Had fallen from over 80 percent
To around 60 percent
He still remained the Favorite
And that Romney’s “bounce” might well soon fade.
Which it did.
And during these Final Days
When Wolf Blitzer and his ilk declare the race a “Dead Heat”
And the pundits call it a “Toss-Up”
And “Neck and Neck”
You steadfastly insist that it’s Not So.
That Obama has an 80 percent chance of carrying Ohio.
And an 85 percent chance of being re-elected.
Bless you, nike chaussures nike air max 1 essential uomo scarpe adidas calcio

Nate Silver
You are the rock I cling to when I am buffeted about
By waves of a rising Red tide
The website I return to for comfort
When I hear the race is “tightening”
The nebbishy statistician that I embrace
Amidst reports that Romney is cresting
In Colorado or Florida.
And come Judgment Day
This Tuesday
If election results start to pour in that look ominous
I will keep you in mind
When Obama supporters around me begin to succumb to panic and despair.
I will soothe them by saying

Keeping me sane these past weeks.
But there is one caveat.
If on Wednesday morning we wake up

That your credibility is shot
And an 85 percent chance
That you will be blamed
For making us Obama supporters over-confident and complacent.
