I was amused that the “Swing State Project” blog included me in a strange diatribe against campaign expert Stuart Rothenberg:

Rothenberg goes even further:

But if the DCCC is going to go out of its way to promote certain races, it ought to be responsible for those selections.

Responsible how, exactly? Should the DCCC be tried before a jury of Stuart Rothenberg, David Broder and Brendan Nyhan on charges of slight exuberance in the service of politics? Should we be demanding that MAD Magazine devote an issue to mocking the D-Trip? Should we get out there and tar-and-feather Chris Van Hollen?

That would be quite a jury, although I’m not sure what I have to do with Rothenberg’s view of the DCCC’s targeting decisions.
