The CBS Sunday Morning Profile Of Nate Silver: All The More Fantastic Today

I missed CBS Sunday Morning this weekend (the horror!) and so I missed the profile that they aired about Nate Silver.

Given that Obama won last night, and that Silver's statistical models were pretty much on the money, the segment is even more amazing to watch now.

Note Joe Scarborough's boneheaded remarks at 2:15. Also: the 80s-era footage of CBS pollsters. They certainly know their target demographic.

Math guys are totally having a moment.

In Nate Silver We Trust

Nate Silver is a statistician and writes the The New York Times FiveThirtyEight blog. During the 2008 presidential election he predicted the winner in 49 out of 50 states. Based on his calcultions, we may want to listen to what he has to say about tonight's vote. (P.S Obama is ahead!)
