I like him better than the state by state analysis of Cook, Rothenberg and Sabato, which push states to tossups or lean status far too late in game.

I remember, all three of them having DeWine favored over Brown, far too long in 2006. But, McCaskill a tossup over Talent.

He was right about Colo being close and wrong about AK in 2014, Silver. Which were the tippers of election, along with La or NC.

But, pundits will be pundits

State tossup or lean categories are subject to change just like AK and Co of 2014, OH, Pa and FL senate of 2016 and 2006 MO and OH senate map.

Silver attempts to use a formula on how each party will fair each election cycle. Which try to avoid this.

I think all of them do a decent job.
