Don’t blame RCP for being inaccurate. RCP isn’t doing any polling or predicting, just arithmetic. Any inaccuracies come from the polling outfits not RCP. Obviously with inaccurate polling data gives inaccurate poll averages, so the RCP numbers probably aren’t significant.

RCP select the polls that constitute their average. Their arithmetic may be correct, but they have stacked the deck before they start the adding. It's not random.

This is like saying “don’t blame drudge, he’s just a news aggregator.”
