Nate Silver, the statistical guru who predicted the voting outcomes of all 50 states correctly during the 2012 presidential election, will be leaving The NY Times to be a regular contributor on ESPN, according to THR.
The Times, citing sources, says that Silver may contribute to Keith Olbermann's forthcoming program on ESPN 2. Olbermann finalized a two-year deal with the network earlier this week for a late-night show.
Silver's blog, FiveThirtyEight, was heavily trafficked during election season and became a destination for political observers to keep track of poll numbers.
Despite his visibility, Silver isn't a staff member of the Times; his blog was hosted on the newspaper's website. His contract with the paper was set to end in August.
