My Take
Mark Halperin strikes me as a quintessential insider's journalist. A Harvard graduate from Bethesda, Maryland, he rose as ABC News' political director and made his name dissecting the backstage machinery of American campaigns rather than the speeches out front. That instinct for what happens behind closed doors is his real talent. His career took a hard fall amid scandal, yet his attempt to rebuild through his own interactive media venture shows a stubborn drive I find hard to ignore. He is a divisive figure, but when it comes to narrating the raw, unvarnished interior of U.S. politics, I still rate his reporter's tenacity highly.
