The World Turned Upside-Down

In a long post about media bias and complaints about it from the left (snerk), data guru Nate Silver drops an insight I believe is worth sharing with COTTonLINE readers. Hat tip to RealClearPolitics for the link.

Progressives used to cope with their election losses by saying that if only everyone voted, Democrats would win every election. That was never true, and it’s definitely not true now. Instead, with their highly-educated and politically-engaged electorate, Democrats would probably benefit from lower turnout in November. (citations in original, emphasis added)

Please indulge my fondness for wordplay. Very nice that he's titled his online presence the Silver Bulletin
