FL, NV, and OH to turn light blue again. That's when I will assume positive momentum.

Very savvy. He knows where our votes are and where its literally impossible for Hillary to lose. He's kind of like 538..but actually knows what he's talking about.

cares more about sports probabilities than politics. Been meaning to buy his book about probabilities sounded interesting.

Personally, he doesn't impress me with 538. Seems all he does is just repackage the info that's already out there. Hell, he had Jeb at like 89% to win nom.

good statistics can minimize the "luck", but "getting all 50 states right" certainly has some luck when several of them are within the margin of error.

and of late i've become a bit skeptical of his models.
