As some of you know, I am an analyst of House races. In addition to my own ratings, I have been keeping track of what the nonpartisan professionals have been saying about individual races. I developed a numerical rubric for arriving at a composite of the analysts' individual ratings. Those used are the Cook Report, Stu Rothenberg, Larry Sabato, Chuck Todd of the National Journal, Roll Call, Congressional Quarterly, the New York Times (prepared by Adam Nagourney), and Chris Cilizza of the Washington Post's blog. I do not use the Evans/Novak ratings, as I view them as less reliable partisans; if I were to include those ratings, I might as well include my own.
