Wha' Happened? 538, Bubble Thinking, and Polls
Submitted by darkmatter on Wed, 03/09/2016 - 1:08pmFor those of us who have been dismayed by our poll-obsessed political discourse, the elevation of 538 into Oz-like prestige has been...let's say irritating. But now the curtain has been rather rudely pulled aside. The live blog thread from 538 made for very interesting reading last night (and into the a.m.).
