There are some obvious problems with Silver's methodology.  The last 21 days does not take into account any last minute swings.  It also doesn't take into account that some of the pollsters didn't poll due to Sandy.

Do you maintain your claim of a 3 point or more "house bias" in PPP polling?

Why don't you ask Nate Silver since he's the one who came up with that number.
