  We use a recent scaling analysis of the quasielastic electron scattering data
from $^{12}$C to predict the quasielastic charge-changing neutrino scattering
cross sections within an uncertainty band. We use a scaling function extracted
from a selection of the $(e,e')$ cross section data, and an effective nucleon
mass inspired by the relativistic mean-field model of nuclear matter. The
corresponding super-scaling analysis with relativistic effective mass (SuSAM*)
describes a large amount of the electron data lying inside a phenomenological
quasielastic band. The effective mass incorporates the enhancement of the
transverse current produced by the relativistic mean field. The scaling
function incorporates nuclear effects beyond the impulse approximation, in
particular meson-exchange currents and short range correlations producing tails
in the scaling function. Besides its simplicity, this model describes the
neutrino data as reasonably well as other more sophisticated nuclear models.
