Matthew Yglesias is a fellow at the Center for American Progress. His first book, with the working title Heads in the Sand: Iraq and the Strange Death of Liberal Internationalism, scheduled to be published next spring by John Wiley and co., deals with the Democratic Party's struggle to find a post-9/11 foreign policy, focusing primarily on the rise and (hopefully) fall of the liberal hawk movement.

Previously, he was a staff writer at The American Prospect and an Associate Editor at TPM Media, where he contributed to the group blogs Tapped and TPMCafe. His main blog, now at The Atlantic, has existed in various forms since the dark ages of the blogosphere in January 2002.

His writing has appeared in The Guardian, Slate, The New Republic, and The Washington Monthly, and he is a regular on BloggingHeads.tv and makes the occasional radio or television appearance.

Desperately out of touch with the American mainstream, Yglesias was born and raised in Manhattan and studied philosophy at Harvard where he was editor in chief of The Harvard Independent, a campus alternative weekly.

His latest writings can be found on the Matthew Yglesias blog.

Taking Huckabee Seriously

By Matthew Yglesias

Now that we're seeing national polls featuring Mike Huckabee surging all the way into second place, it's worth saying that I predicted a Huckabee win in the GOP primary months and months ago at an American Prospect editorial meeting and then stupidly failed to write it down. But other people were there, and I expect them to speak up and back up my story.

All of which is to say that at this point I do think we need to start seriously considering the possibility that winning Iowa would not only collapse the Romney campaign but actually turn Huckabee into a real contender.
