Don't worry, with the revisionist history, it'll be 2014, the Repubs will be looking good for winning senate, and all we will hear is "Rass is always more accurate..."

nate silver, as annoying as his little face is, was more right than anyone in 2012.

Joe Scarborough to Nate Silver: “I’m sorry”

(Salon) Joe Scarborough — who called the 2012 election a “dead heat” on Twitter and mocked anyone who would predict how it would turn out — has apologized to the man who correctly called every state for the second presidential race in a row. In a column on Politico this morning, the “Morning Joe” co-host told Nate Silver he was sorry for doubting the methodology Silver uses on his fivethirtyeight blog.
 
“I do need to tell Nate I’m sorry for leaning in too hard and lumping him with pollsters whose methodology is as rigorous as the Simpsons’ strip mall physician, Dr. Nick. For those sins (and a multitude of others that I’m sure I don’t even know about), I am sorry,” Scarborough wrote.
