Former New York Times Election Wonk Has a Prediction That's Likely to Terrify Democrats

theblaze.com - Former New York Times statistician Nate Silver — who just launched his own website, FiveThirtyEight — has an election forecast that Democrats won't be happy to hear.

According to Silver, the GOP has a roughly 60 percent chance of winning the necessary six seats to take control of the Senate — and a 30 percent chance of winning control in an even bigger fashion, with the potential of capturing up to 11 seats.
