Nate put on a pair of nice eyeglasses to cover up the sleepless eyes. But seriously, can we hire Nate a media consultant to get the man some makeup and teach him to sit up straight? I know he's a computer geek. I like that about him. But we seriously need some posture! Get this man some coffee! MAKEUP!! He's way too smart to be relegated to "boring guest" status. I like him too much to stand by and let the ratings war kill his media career. lol

3. Don't misunderstand... I like Nate too... But I also know know how media works....
But in a weird sort of way, he's set for life as long as Obama wins with over 300 electoral votes and all of his Dark blue predictions hold true.

2. Nate is a rarity. People pay attention to him purely because of his intelligence, not his flash. nt

4. I know, I'm just saying...
We need more people like him on TV talking to people. Simple stuff like standing up straight make a huge difference in perception. He's slouched over when he's listening to questions, then the camera zooms in on his face. Just a little animation makes a ton of difference.

Maybe I spent too much time in debate club. lol.
