1. The only people who don't like 538 are people whose candidates lost as 538 said they would.

Being mad at numbers because you don't like how they add up doesn't make the site publishing the numbers look bad. Quite the opposite, in fact.

3. "There are lies, damn lies, and statistics..."

Fivethirtyeight has a proven track record of getting it right so I have nothing but respect for thier work. This article is spot on. The Republican Party is going the way of the Whigs. It's hard to see a way for a party that is getting older, whiter, more southern, and more poorly educated as anything but an evolutionary dead end.

5. Very good read

6. The people who don't like 538 just declare everyone in the mainstream media "a right-wing hack"

Including Maddow, Hayes, Larry O'Donnell, etc......

Usually over one sentence, out of context, that's enough to set them off.

9. When posting something it would be good etiquette to include the headline

and maybe a few paragraphs or excerpts.

10. I know some here don't care for...

I was a little shocked when I first came here at how MANY things people here did not seem to care for :p

But it's a huge, diverse audience, so I guess that's to be expected
