FiveThirtyEight predictions
The predictions have been included in the past and are usually highly accurate. Maybe you aren't as familiar with Nate Silver's work as I am since I read his blog regularly, so I will provide some information. He usually waits until the primary process gets further along. At this point, even though about half of the states have held a presidential primary, only a few have held congressional primaries. As you can imagine this has a major impact on how to rate a race. Consider Wisconsin where the scenarios with and without Tommy Thompson completely change the dynamics of the race. If I remember correctly he starts to focus more on the senate predictions starting around May/June because that is when the majority of states hold their primaries. I believe he began in early May in 2010, and with the Republican presidential primaries basically decided he will be switching to cover other topics. Then when he does focus on the predictions he will usually update them every 5-7 days like the others do. So instead of scrapping that section completely just to have me or someone else add it back in about a month, why don't we wait and update when the time comes.

Orioles roster
Janish gave up #1 to Cabrera. The website just hasn't been updated. Janish probably won't get another # since he is injured; out 6-8 weeks. 72.178.86.254 (talk) 03:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
