Stuart Rothenberg Names Peter Schiff “Cockiest Candidate of the Cycle”

Political analyst Stuart Rothenberg is out with his 2010 awards for good or ill.  Peter Schiff, who competed with Linda McMahon and Rob Simmons for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate in Connecticut, made a lasting impression on Rothenberg.  Of all the candidates in all the races across the nation, Rothenberg, who watches a lot of contests, dubs Schiff “Cockiest Candidate of the Cycle.”

The nominees:

• Michigan GOP Congressional candidate Rocky Raczkowski

• Connecticut GOP Senate candidate Peter Schiff

• Pennsylvania Democratic Congressional candidate John Callahan

• Rep.-elect Sean Duffy (R-Wis.)

• Arizona Democratic Senate nominee Rodney Glassman

Writes Rothenberg:

“Holy cow, as Phil Rizzuto used to say, there’s a lot of ego in this bunch. But this is a pretty easy choice for me. Only one of them had no experience in politics yet figured he knew everything and was smarter than anyone else in the room — no matter who else was in it. Take your bow, Peter Schiff, the smuggest and most clueless of them all.”
