A farewell note

Three years ago, I took over War Room from my friend and editor Geraldine Sealey. Some 4,000 posts later, this one will be my last. I'm leaving Salon for Politico, where I've accepted a job as congressional bureau chief.

Alex Koppelman will be taking over War Room.

I want to thank Salon for giving me the freedom to do what I've been doing here. More important, I want to thank you, the readers, for making the work feel so worthwhile. I'll miss our dialogue -- even the frank exchanges -- and I wish you all the best.
