The New York Times (registration required) has weighed in with a long story about how well Nate Silver -- a pioneer in baseball sabermetrics as the inventor of PECOTA -- predicted how the election would go.

The site, fivethirtyeight.com, became a must-read for anyone tracking the election. And post-election, he continues to file excellent coverage, such as today's post predicting that Al Franken is likely to win the recount in Minnesota.
