Should political polling ever fall into unacceptable disrepute, the NY Times' statistical mystic, Nate Silver, can always go into international diplomacy.
Check out this elegantly worded denigration of Romney Inc.'s smarts:
[A]n exceptionally skilled campaign ought to recognize that it is never operating in a vacuum, and that the evaluation of its reaction to news events [such as Libya/Egypt] is likely to be affected by these contingencies. It may have to employ some delicacy in choosing its battles.
A "frank" and "candid" assessment, a lively "exchange" of ideas, which in the real world is translated as: Mitt, you are unbelievably inept.
I can't decide if it sounds more like a diplomat or Fed chairman.
