George W Bush tried to seem moderate (compassionate conservativism) in 2000, McCain's the maverick, romney's just vanilla. Reagan started trickle down economics, slashing welfare, huge defense budgets. Yeah, I didn't articulate that well at all, Reagan just appealed to a wider voter base and was far more willing to compromise on a variety of issues. He also passed Therapeutic Abortion bill and increased taxes after his large first year cuts, so I'd say he wasn't necessarily more conservative. | ||

Ideally, over the long run, the total states he gets correct should equal the total sum of his probabilities. Other statisticians like Sam Wang or Drew Linzer, whose predictions are also doing very well tonight, expressed higher confidence in their picks. In fact one of those two has criticized Silver for underselling his own model with low confidences. I don't really know what the correct approach is. One the one hand you want to reward the model for creating high confidence predictions (i.e getting the most out of the data). OTOH, a model that gets exactly 3/4 right for the 75% predictions is in a sense better than a model that claims 80% confidence for the same events but nails all of them. The second one seems to be more effective but the first one understands its own power better. | ||
