Nate Silver is my statistician; I shall not fret.He maketh me to lie down in blue states:He leadeth me beside the bicoastal urban elites.He restoreth my faith in the electoral college:He leadeth me in the path of accuracy for his name brand's sake.Yea, though I walk through the valley of Diebold,I will fear no recounts: For he is with me;His blog and his stats, they comfort me.He preparest a table of odds before me in the presence of partisan hacks;He filleth my head with possible outcomes; My brain bloweth up.Surely middle class tax relief and affordable health care shall follow me all the days of my life,and Obama will dwell in the House of White for the next four years. (It's going around. . . . . ) UPDATE (THANKS, MOLLIE!)
