I'd be a lot more impressed if he bet something that had a bite if he lost. He's not going to miss $2000 given to charity. He should bet that for 1 week after

He should bet that for 1 week after the election, the loser says nothing in public about the result.
That would be a loss with bite.
- georgemcbay 14y agoWouldn't that bite be horribly uneven? Talking about the results of the election for a week after the election is (for better or for worse) essentially Joe Scarborough's job, but it isn't Nate Silver's (though it is tangentially related). Having said that, I agree, $1000 is basically meaningless to either of these guys.
- waterlesscloud 14y agoIf Obama lost and Silver couldn't talk about the result for a week after? That'd hit him pretty hard.
- r00fus 14y agoMorning Joke still didn't take the bet. Nate probably didn't care about whether he won or lost - it's just these right-wing media windbags say whatever they want, seemingly without consequence. Good that he deflated that clown.
