Tell me that guy doesn't look like he has ESP today. If you ever get a chance, go listen to Delta's fuel guru talk. If he and Nate Silver got together in a room it would be like Ditka and Jordan in a death match. Such a travesty would violate all laws of nature and should never be allowed to occur. God rest Chris Farley.

It was an aside on my part, but your comment puzzles me a bit. "Our" passengers? We don't sell a single ticket. All our pax' tickets have the DAL code on them. Seems to me we don't carry any Compass passengers, we carry Delta passengers.
DAL certainly agrees. Our airplanes have DAL livery. Our service is continually being streamlined to mimic DAL's. They don't even want us using "Compass" in our PAs. The sole indication most pax have that they're not on DAL is a tiny sticker under the CA's window that's usually covered by the jetbridge. If I asked our pax who they were flying on, 95% would say Delta. If DAL ever decides we're a bit too expensive, we sure as heck don't have a right to those passengers, DAL will kick us to the door and give em to GoJet.
But hey, if you want to further disassociate yourself from flying that should rightfully be yours, I'm sure DAL won't mind.

No offense intended (really), but you don't really think that you came up with something that Keynes couldn't comprehend do you?

Ok I think it is time to enforce the TOS! No more politics because I was about to say something that would have made way too much sense and made people actually think about reality and how small their minds are about a lot of things politics and how ..... oh well.... let us just get back to being doom and gloom.......

Yeah.. I played by the rules too. I am ready to start taking now though. Lord knows I have paid enough into the system, and I am gonna at least get my investment back before it is all means tested. I'm thinking to get as many credit cards as I can, take the maximum cash out of each one, default and move to Argentina. Come get it suckers.....

Turns out, the polls were. He got 50 out of 50, but you know who got 49 out of 50 without having to do anything more than an @average formula? The real clear politics average of the electoral college with no toss ups.
RealClearPolitics - 2012 Election Maps - Electoral Map No Toss Ups
Same in 2008, Silver 49 out of 50, RCP average 48 out of 50 missing on the two closest toss up states.
So before you award him with ESP, hand it to the inventor of the rather pedestrian formula: @average. Which has a tendency, on average, to be more accurate and far more clear than Nate Silver's hidden probability formula.
Now the guy who picks right without ever doing a calculation, that'd be ESP.
