What does Silver have to say about zombies, is what I want to know.
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Amy,
are you trying to jinx us?
half my twitter feed (mostly in NY) are complaining that gmail is down. It is okay so far for me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Nate Silver is best for commentary; but statistically speaking, his model has too many moving parts, which can increase uncertainty. (Every part with a material impact is another chance to misspecify it and introduce a deviation.) that of course is a large part of why he's best for commentary. For an actual forecast, though, I like Sam Wang's Princeton Election Consortium: [link] The site itself is down after Sandy passed through, but the headline forecast is up. (The state polls give Obama a current median of 318 EVs, and Wang gives him a 95% chance of victory. I think that's a bit overstated, but I also think Nate is understating it.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
