Stu Rothenberg Can't Hide His Right-Wing Tendencies

I've often marveled at how people like Stuart Rothenberg have managed to make a living as some sort of "expert" election predicter in a world where 98 percent of incumbents get reelected. I mean, really - how difficult can predictions be when all you have to do is say "the incumbent is going to win" in order to be 98% accurate? But as Matt Stoller shows, Rothenberg is more than just a spewer of the obvious - he's a fairly nasty right-winger, lacing his oh-so-astute "analysis" with all sorts of stereotypes that have no basis in reality. The question is: when will the media stop calling him "nonpartisan" and start labeling him as a conservative?
