The controversial New York Times pollster Nate Silver, who has been roundly criticized for
his overly-optimistic Barack Obama polling, told Charlie Rose, on his
PBS show on October 30, 2012: "I don't intend to vote this year." Silver,
responding to a Rose question that he had a political bias in favor of
the President, added: "I'd say I am somewhere in-between being a
libertarian and a liberal. So if I were to vote it would be kind of a
Gary Johnson versus Mitt Romney decision, I suppose."
Before
Silver made that claim he attacked MSNBC's Joe Scarborough's recent
criticism of his numbers, as he huffed: "He's not using math...He's not
using history...He's not using civics."
