There’s some good stuff here on the Dem freak-out over Nate Silver’s prediction that there’s a 60 percent chance the GOP wins the Senate. Also of note, Silver says he’s commissioned a response to the Roger Pielke Jr. piece on climate change and the costs of natural disasters not because of liberal-pundit furor, but because of reader comments. I will hazard a guess that his reader comments and liberal-pundit furor go hand-in-hand, but that’s for the statisticians to decide.
