Congrats, Martin. You’re a great writer and more people should read your stuff.
Congrats! May it be the first of many promotions.
Just bookmarked washingtonmonthly and looking forward to more of your writing and thoughts.
Congratulations.
Hope there are some bucks in it for you.
I hope soon I’ll be able to say, “I knew him when…!!”! Congrats Martin, perhaps the rest of the country will soon share our pond dwellers little secret.
Glad to see you’ll be there, but I’ve got to say that I can predict with almost 100% accuracy what LeTourneau’s take will be on any given issue, and no longer bother reading her stuff.
I haven’t found that to be the case at all. I’m usually surprised by the angle she’s found to discuss familiar things.
Ah, so the sun sets here. Good luck and dont ban me from the Monthly man, I wont shoot anyone in the face.
Excellent!
Shrewd you are and now you can only get shrewdier. Look forward to your work!
And a very cool cat at that! We will of course be following you wherever you go, and I’m very happy that a wider audience will benefit from your big picture view of politics.
Congratulations! wonderful to hear this news!
Congratulations! Does that mean that you’ll eventually be recruited to bigger/better things as well? 😉
good point! Watch out, David Brooks!!!
Terrific news for everyone. Ed and Nancy are both doing great work and deserve their more prominent places, as do you, Martin. Congratulations to each of you- I’ll be reading and responding occasionally.
Woot!
Marty didn’t know this when he recruited me to write on weekends at Political Animal (because he hadn’t put the screen name with the real one), but I actually wrote my very first diary right here at BooMan Tribune back in June 2005.

So many thanks to Marty from me.

Congrats, Martin and Nancy!
Congrats Martin, well deserved promotion. Look forward to becoming a regular daily reader of PA.
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing your work published and appreciated in ever-larger venues
Congrats, BooMan. I trust things are truly turning in a good direction for you.
Yeah, man!!! Nobody deserves it more! Your trenchant analyses deserve a wider audience, and hopefully now they will get one.
Congratulations Booman. Well deserved.
Hopefully your stuff will be ever more widely read – even over here in Yurp where Krugman is the main economic/political blogger on things USian. No; there aren’t a lot of US political commentators with influence on this side of the pond, not in any positive sense anyway. There’s a big untapped market for US political common sense.
Congratulations Martin and Nancy! May your readership expand greatly.
