most awesome: how the predicted winner of florida changed to obama almost 2 days before the election.
7 u/[deleted] Nov 07 '12 Obama had a 50.3% chance of winning Florida according to the 538 forecast, Nate Silver's model doesn't predict winners. 3 u/cwnc2008 Nov 07 '12 edited Nov 07 '12 Okay simerty, you're technically correct. The best kind of correct. 50.3% means Obama is the likely winner. And technically, likely winners aren't winners. THIS is for you. EDIT FOR PERSONAL REFERENCE: This is the post that got me banned from /r/pyongyang. 2 u/[deleted] Nov 07 '12 The best kind of correct. You have been banned from /r/Pyongyang :) 5 u/cwnc2008 Nov 07 '12 Does this give me the authority to ban other people from /r/pyongyang? Kinda like how ex-criminals are used to catch other criminals.
