The herding was inevitable and I can't believe Silver doesn't understand his role in this. Basically:
1. Lots of people spends lots of resources on polls
2. Silver comes along and just does meta analyses of these polls for cheaper and better results.
3. People spend less resources on the polls and just try to imitate what the meta analyses say.
4. Now all the polls suck lol
