Nate Silver on Olbermann: Swing States Not Breaking for McCain
By: Ian Welsh Monday November 3, 2008 8:06 pm	Tweet

Only swing state he might pull out is Virginia, where he’s down only 4%. Pennsylvania is out of reach. Colorado is out of reach.

Basically, if Obama takes Virginia or Florida, plus Pennsylvania, it’s all over at that moment.

And as Jane said: Shorter Nate "exit polls are crap".

Watch for much more specific commentary.

Nate on exit polls:

“They mislead expectations, they mislead viewers. Just wait for the hard counts to come in — it’s the better, more sophisticated thing to do.”

Relax and listen to Nate.

It’s just too bad Obama’s grandmother couldn’t last another 75 or so days. If nothing else, do it for her!!
