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....

I Can't Get Enough Of This Stuff
Yes, this vid is like a lot of others but it showcases some facets previously ignored.
Maddow states with utter glee that Trump had but one newspaper endorsement (the number would later swell to two I believe).
Maddow's attitude towards what could be seen as a stacked deck or rigged system or worse yet, a testimonial to the irrelevancy of newspapers shows an arrogance incapable of shame.
More nuggets: Maddow recites NYT, Nate Silver, et al, and their wondrous gifts of prophecy. Trump's 3% chance of winning. It's fun to go back and think how the ruling class's propagandists tried ever so hard to discourage us.
This is a gem.

Will Nate Silver Come Out Of The Idiot Closet?
Or is that even necessary at this point?
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY DOES THIS FOR A LIVING?
DIDN'T YOU WRITE "THE COMPLETE IDIOT'S GUIDE TO IDIOCY?"
OH, IT'S NOT FOOLPROOF?
TRUMP SHOULD TURN OFF THE LIGHTS AT HIS HEADQUARTERS
DAMN! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLT ONE WHO KNEW SILVER WAS AN IDIOT
THE COMMENTS ARE EVEN HARSHER THAN THAT TEENAGE CENK
SO,LIKE YOU USED TO BE SMART? I REST MY CASE

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.

Reading Between The Lines: Alex Sink Will Not Seek Rematch
To review, Democrat Alex Sink lost a special election to Republican David Jolly for the seat of deceased Congressman Bill Young earlier this year. Earlier this week, Alex Sink announced that she will not be a candidate in the general election in November.
Sink was considered a rising star and a seasoned campaigner with a more than adequate war chest. Jolly was a behind the scenes guy who arrived with a lot of question marks. In most places, in most times, Sink would have crushed Jolly. Of course, these are unusual times. The toxicity of Obamacare has given every Democrat an Achilles Heel.
Will 2014 be another shellacking? It could be, but never underestimate the Republican capacity to lose to terrible candidates (Obama 2012 for instance.) Nate Silver has handicapped the Senate races as 7 GOP wins plus or minus 5. I have to agree with Mr. 538. The country is up for grabs,
