Some of you may have noticed that today I took over primary blogging responsibilities (at least during weekdays) at the Washington Monthly's Political Animal site. It was a solid opportunity to have a greater impact on daily political discussions. But I wanted to let you know I will remain as Managing Editor here at TDS, which will continue to pursue its mission of promoting civil, empirically based discussion of strategic issues important to Democrats. We'll have plenty of fresh content, particularly as this election year intensifies.
