A couple years ago, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to appear in Men’s Health magazine.

As those who have seen me in my recent television appearances are aware, that’s probably not going to happen anytime soon.

I got something pretty nice, though. The editors of Men’s Health BestLife have named me #9 on “The ten most important voices to listen to this election cycle.”

Right behind me are the fine guys of RealClearPolitics. Ahead of me are L.A. Weekly cartoonist Mr. Fish, Larry Sabato’s Crystal Ball, Anthony Cortesman of CSIS, The Atlantic’s Matthew Yglesias, BBC’s Justin Webb, XM’s POTUS ‘08 (where I usually appear Tuesday mornings, sometimes with my son gurgling in the backround like this morning), Charlie Cook’s Political Report, and Ron Brownstein, now with National Journal.

You can read their words of praise on page 64 of the March issue.
