Eric Alterman buys into the silly Barron’s analysis of the 2006 election that I bashed yesterday:

I don’t really relish being right about this election, but Barron’s did a race-by-race analysis, all 468 Congressional contests, taking into account cash on hand, as well as organization assets on the ground, and comes up with small Republican majorities in both houses as the most likely result… Remember, money matters, not issues, not voters, not really much of anything, save money — and, of course, the Republicans’ natural structural advantages.

(Well, I could be wrong. I’ve been wrong before. Media Matters says the methodology used by Barron’s in 2002, 2004, and 2006 hasn’t been consistent, here.)

Voters and issues don’t matter? That’s just absurd. It sounds like Alterman has been drinking the Common Cause koolaid…
