The ever-mobile Matthew Yglesias is leaving his perch at the Atlantic for new blogging digs over at the liberal think tank, the Center for American Progress. Over the past few years, Yglesias has largely shed his image as an independent thinker for one that is more overtly partisan and liberal. That doesn't necessarily mean his value as a blogger has devalued. In fact, it was probably a smart business move, as politically centrist views rarely equal high readership in the blogosphere. But now that Matt is working for an openly partisan political operation, I'm wondering if his soon-to-be former colleague Andrew Sullivan will revise the already antiquated "Yglesias Award Nominee," given to conservative and liberal bloggers who buck their side's dogma to express a poignant and independent opinion?
