Marc Is Liberal, But Not All That Controversial

April 18, 2009

I find that so very impressive. And he feeds the
political junkie types. I am so impressed he has a
subdomain in his own name at The Atlantic website.

"A Briefer Theory Of "Obamaism"" is worth noting.
Here Ambinder is trying to figure if there is some kind
of a grand design to Obama's impulses.

March is one of those bloggers who elevate the
conversation. His blog posts tend to be a blend of
insightful reporting, analysis, and opinionating.

He writes out of DC, and is a daily staple to many in
the political profession.

politics for those who love politics

April 06, 2009

Marc Ambinder is essential reading for anyone
interested in the inner workings of Washington. I
started reading his blog at the Atlantic during the
presidential election and thoroughly enjoyed his
clear-eyed and level-headed commentary when other
bloggers and journalists were going berserk. Although I
probably wouldn't read Ambinder for an understanding
the finer points of things like economic or foreign
policy, he nonetheless gives an excellent overall
picture of the political ramifications of current
events.

Along with Chris Cillzilla, Ambinder is as integral to
my morning routine as coffee and showering. Never
didactic and always compelling, be sure to read his
stuff.
