Dan Rather Interviews Nate Silver of FiveThirtyEight

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Blogging, Electoral College

A great look at one of the most trusted bloggers when it comes to electoral prediction.

Right now FiveThirtyEight projects November 4th to turn out like this: Obama 336, McCain 202.

And this is the average of all the projections from the top electoral sites: Obama 327, McCain 201.

Pretty close to Silver’s numbers, yes?

He’s good folks.
