Silver Still Sees Wisc 8th District as Likely GOP Takeover

Political analyst Nate Silver's forecast still has Wisconsin's eighth congressional seat held by Rep. Steve Kagen [D-WI] as a likely GOP takeover.

Silver says there is an 80-percent likelihood of Kagen losing his seat representing the Northeast Wisconsin district.

If forecasters like Nate Silver and Charlie Cook should prove incorrect, one wonders what will happen to the amount of air time given to these mavens of conventional wisdom.
