Marc spent a year and a half at the Hotline, an Atlantic sister publication that's known as the daily bible for anyone IN politics. (If you're not religious, subtitute "racing form" for bible.) He was the editor of "Hotline On Call," a pathbreaking political news blog. He spent four years in the ABC News Political Unit and was one of the founders of ABC's "The Note," which, for a time, achieved co-biblical status with the Hotline. Marc is an associate editor at the Atlantic and a contributing editor to both the Hotline and National Journal. He's a 2001 graduate of Harvard, and he pays his taxes in Washington, D.C.

His latest writings can be found on the Marc Ambinder blog.
