"Political polling guru Nate Silver is so confident in his statistical models that he just offered to bet MSNBC's Joe Scarborough $1000 that Barack Obama will win re-election. Scarborough, you may recall, criticized Silver's math earlier this week, saying that "Anybody that thinks that this race is anything but a tossup right now is such an ideologue ... they're jokes." He was specifically talking about Silver's FiveThirtyEight website, which shows Mitt Romney with just a 1-in-4 chance of becoming president. Silver has spent the week firing back, criticizing political pundits for not understanding how odds and probability work and aggressively defending his method against critics. As the week has progressed, his model has only shown Obama's chances of winning increasing, which has not coincidentally increased Silver's confidence in the outcome. (As of this morning, Five Thirty Eight gives Obama a 79 percent chance of winning, with a final Electoral College total over 300.)"* Cenk Uygur analyzes the ridiculous "ideologue" statements from Scarborough and other pundits which are based on opinion and popular vote, rather than math and the electoral college. *Read more the Dashiell Bennett/ Atlantic Wire: www.theatlanticwire.com Support The Young Turks by Subscribing bit.ly Support The Young Turks by Shopping bit.ly Like Us on Facebook: www.fb.com Follow Us on Twitter: bit.ly Buy TYT Merch: theyoungturks.spreadshirt.com Find out how to watch The Young Turks on Current by <b>...</b>Author: TheYoungTurks

Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are throwing everything they've got into a last-ditch effort to woo voters in undecided states, in the closing days of the pre-election duel. Promises of change and economic recovery are taking centre stage, in what's ironically the most expensive Presidential race in US history. But talk about any cuts to the massive defence spending is absent from the frontlines of the campaign - with both candidates expected to keep the mighty military machine rolling, as Marina Portnaya reports.

President Barack Obama and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney may not agree on much, but they're both totally into the use of unmanned aircraft known as drones to hunt down and kill real and imagined threats to the American way of life. Whenever you've got top Democrats and top Republicans getting along, you know something has gone horribly wrong. Here are three reasons why drone strikes are really freaking scary. 1. They're not that accurate. One of the main selling points of drone strikes is their supposedly surgical precision. Rather than carpet-bombing entire city blocks to nail one or two bad guys, now we can just zap them without harming anyone else. But a new study from researchers at NYU and Stanford concludes that as many 881 civilians - including 176 children - have been killed by US drone strikes in northern Pakistan since 2004. Worse still are reports that targets get blasted repeatedly, to ward off rescuers from helping the wounded. 2. There's no legal framework. Drone strikes have been carried out in countries with whom we're allies or against whom we've yet to declare war. They are the principal way in which President Obama's infamous "kill list" is made operational and yet nobody knows how such decisions are being made. As The New York Times said earlier this year, "a unilateral campaign of death is untenable." Not only is such a campaign immoral on its face, it only damages America's standing in the world. 3. It's only going to get worse. The Federal <b>...</b>
