In Slate, a powerful infographic shows how accurate or inaccurate the various predictions and pundits were. As we know, Nate Silver was on target for the electoral college (along with two other people) but the spray away from the center of the target is impressive. The infographic can't be imbedded; please pop over and take a look.
Slate makes the point that the left-leaning pundits were more accurate than the right leaning ones. A much more important point is that almost everyone underestimated Obama's performance in the election. There were no Democratic pundits that crept past the center of the target (Jim Cramer is not a Democrat, is he?). Yes, the Republicans vastly over-estimated their candidate. Can we figure out why so many of us underestimated ours?
