It's amusing to look at the pre-election article and laugh at how wrong this people were

1. HaHaHa
What bothers me is that other morons with similar predictions are still on MSM expecting to be taken seriously. You would think people like Brad Blakeman would crawl into a hole and disappear for a while.

2. particularly funny is their bragging that they were more
right than others in 2004 - and that they (gleefully, by their tone) ignored polls. Their entire analysis rested on $ raised. And in the races they highlighted they pretty much got it wrong to a person. Thanks for posting - it was a good laugh.

3. I stopped reading at this statement
"We studied every single race -- all 435 House seats and 33 in the Senate -- and based our predictions about the outcome in almost every race on which candidate had the largest campaign war chest, a sign of superior grass-roots support."

If they base their analysis on that kind of bullshit, no wonder they were wrong...
