It is one of my daily reads, and I always find it very insightful, although I thought it was too optimistic during the campaign. I use it to link to my other daily reads like Altercation and the Daily Howler and even to get to DU instead of bookmarking it directly. I am not sure if they derive any benefit from extra hits, but you never know.

I thought they had a great column today as well, talking about the differences between Democrats and Republicans in regard to Iraq:

"Simply saying there should be an exit strategy makes the debate seem like a question of technical competence, when there is a deeper ideological gulf between the parties that needs illuminating."

The difference being that Republicans do not have an exit strategy because they have no intention of exiting - ever.
