Eventually the Silvers and Sabatos have to get one right, right? Right? Right? Right?
Not necessarily. If you are a dues-paying member of the Oracles Union then trivialities like deceit, fraud and gross stupidity shall not be impediments to job security.
Let us take a brief stroll down Memory Lane.
SCIENCE!
DOES NATE SILVER BOOK BETS? DOES ANYONE HAVE HIS CELL NUMBER?
STILL EMPLOYED AS AN ORACLE
Ali vs Frazier
Phil vs Tiger
Betty vs Wilma
They all pale in comparison to Larry vs Nate. The Crystal Ball meets The Sultan of Sooth for non-stop prediction/projection/prognostication!
Sorry Nate, we are giving Larry center stage this evening.
LARRY SABATO CHANNELS THE GHOST OF NOSTRADAMUS RIGHT BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES!
And we conclude with a current prediction from L-Sab, now keeping it real on MSNBC.
A GLIMPSE INTO OUR FUTURE....

Hey Sabato, That Crystal Ball Might Be Getting A Bit Cloudy
IS THERE AN ORACLE IN THE HOUSE?
IN FAIRNESS, HE DOES ADMIT THAT HE IS A HIGHLY PAID BUFFOON

Why Prognosticators Love Hillary
If Trump wins, the Oracle Class might not ever regain its veneer of infallibility. Larry Sabato and Nate Silver might see their careers take a Dick Morris turn. We cut meteorologists a lot of slack but I am not so certain we will do the same with political pundits.
John Batchelor had Dr. Lara M Brown and Salena Zito on for their weekly Trump bash. They were really piling on. The GOP could lose both houses. The down ticket candidates need to disavow Trump immediately. Blood bath! Blood bath!
I understand partisanship but these people have reputations to protect, don't they? They have to maintain some credibility, right? What is really at stake here?
The pundits seem to have figured out a 'Heads I win, tails you lose' situation. With Hillary's projected legal problems, they can safely predict a Hillary landslide now and then when it hits the fan before the election, they can say "Who knew? If not for that September surprise, I would have hit the bullseye."
Tout Hillary early and often and when the hammer comes down, remind us that this entire election cycle was an anomaly. Who could have foreseen an indictment? Who knew she took bribes from every member of OPEC? Who knew that she had ties to global terrorists?
The soothsayers might have figured out the best strategy for maintaining their reputations.

Latest From ElectionBetting Odds.com: Trump Wins Primary, Hillary Wins Election
I think this might be as wacky as Larry Sabato's Crystal Ball. As recently as June 11, 2015 Larry Sabato identified three and only three viable GOP candidates: Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker. Don't change your name to Jeremiah just yet, Larry.
The London bookies love Hillary for some reason.

It's Down To Three Candidates. Larry Sabato Says So.
And they will lose to Hillary anyway. Larry Sabato says so. Well, he doesn't exactly say that but he says her numbers are holding steady and the Blue Wall is still the Blue Wall.
The three GOP candidates worth considering are: Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio and Scott Walker. Sabato does not reveal his methodoloy but if you prefer Perry or Paul or Cruz you had better pack it in and get behind one of the annointed. Larry Sabato says so.

Run Sarah Run
Senator Palin has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? If Sarah were Senator, her sound bites would annoy the political class to no end. The Mike Barnicles would be subjected to condemnations of hopey changey stuff on a nightly basis. Ahhh, is there a symphony so sweet?
Larry Sabato has the Alaska Senate election as a toss-up. How the hell does that happen? The Democrats used extreme prosecutorial misconduct to run Ted Stevens out of office. This scandal makes other abuses of power look tame by comparison. Won't the citizens of Alaska remember the villainous manner in which Mark Begich assumed office?
The citizenry probably would remember if they were not once more presented with weak GOP alternatives. Sarah Palin would change all of that. Run Sarah, run!
