My wife was worrying as the early electoral college votes rolled in. We had up the Fox News site just because we figured once they called it for Obama, we could safely believe it. (As in, it'd have to be 101% crystal clear for Obama before Fox would admit it.) We also calibrated with a few other sites, of course, including HuffPo. Anyways, I'd just have her look at the map showing which electoral college votes had come in, and how they aligned perfectly with what Nate Silver had predicted. Once she saw that, she was mostly calmed down. (Mostly.) I love that woman.
