"Nate Silver's done it again. \nThe data guru (or \"witch\" as some believe) has taken a break from correctly predicting the next U.S. president and brought his magic to Thanksgiving. \nOr so the president jokes. \nDuring the annual White House Thanksgiving pardon ceremony, Obama quipped that Nate Silver (who also forecasted that Obama would win the election weeks ago) guessed which turkey \u2014 Gobbler or Cobbler \u2014 would win the race to be the next official National Thanksgiving Turkey of the free world. \n\"Once again Nate Silver nailed it,\" Obama said, before gesturing a cross over the turkey and completing the pardon. \"The guy is amazing.\"\nSEE ALSO: White House Asks Facebook Users to Pick a Turkey to 'Pardon' for Thanksgiving\n\nReally though, it was Facebook users who choose if Gobbler or Cobbler would be the next member of the first family. But we're pretty sure Nate Silver knew the answer all along, anyways. \nAnd don't fret turkey lovers, neither turkey will actually be killed \u2014 they'll both live happily ever after on a livestock enclosure at George Washington\u2019s Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens.\nBONUS: 10 Ugly Turkeys to Relieve Your Thanksgiving Guilt\n\n\n\nUgly Turkeys \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Carly &amp; Art\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, ulybug\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Andrea Westmoreland\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Georgi Kirichkov\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, jim68000\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Andrea Westmoreland\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nugly-turkey-9\nImage courtesy of Flickr, gocyclones\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nugly-turkey-10\nImage courtesy of Flickr, aidanmoher\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nugly-turkey-11\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Maia C\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImage courtesy of Flickr, Mark A Coleman\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Via TPM]\nMashable composite: Flickr, Kevin Saff and nikolai36."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
