Keep Benen on War Room--Or Somewhere!
Wow--what a difference in the War Room entries in just a few days of Steve Benen. I really miss the Blog Report, but at least I can read Steve's work here. Benen's analysis is more incisive, less "horse racy," and just more intellectually challenging in terms of subject matter than Mr. Koppelman's. As a reader, I feel I'm learning a lot more than I have been from War Room.
I think Mr. Benen is a tremendous resource who could handle this column with depth and acuity (his background knowledge seems to exceed Mr. Koppelman's which adds a lot of context that is often missing in this kind of analysis). And he's just about the right amount of opinionated. If he isn't kept on this column, he should be given something else equally substantial to do.
Good work, Steve!
