    Default 'Unskewed' Pollster: 'Nate Silver Was Right, And I Was Wrong'

    http://www.businessinsider.com/unske...barone-2012-11
    Dean Chambers, the man who garnered praise from the right and notoriety on the left for his "Unskewed Polling" site, admitted today that his method was flawed.
    ...

    But he said he probably won't go back to "unskewing" polls next time. He actually thinks conservative-leaning pollsters like Scott Rasmussen have a lot more explaining to do.

    "He has lost a lot of credibility, as far as I'm concerned," Chambers said. "He did a lot of surveys. A lot of those surveys were wrong."
    Yep, Rasmussen lost a lot of credibility. Of course reasonable people knew something was wrong with their numbers beforehand, especially on this board.
