Here's some clues about Mr. X's identity:
X was named editor-at-large and senior political analyst for TIME in April 2007.
Prior to joining TIME, X worked at ABC News for nearly 20 years, where he covered five presidential elections and served as political director from November 1997 to April 2007
At ABC, X reported on every major American political story, including working as a full-time reporter covering the Clinton presidential campaign in 1992 and the Clinton White House. He also covered major non-political stories, such as the O.J. Simpson criminal trial and the Oklahoma City bombing.
Additionally, X founded and edited the online publication The Note on abcnews.com, which has been characterized as the most influential daily tipsheet in American politics by publications including The New Yorker, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Vanity Fair.
He remains a political analyst for ABC News, and is the author of The Undecided Voter’s Guide to the Next President (Harper Perennial, 2007) and the co-author of The Way to Win: Taking the White House in 2008 (Random House, 2006).
X is obviously a big-time, big media guys who's been around the block more than once. Now, if you are at all aware of the GOP politics of "character,"McCain's ignorance about the number of houses he owns was a HUGE mistake but to Mr. X, it didn't seem so:
HALPERIN: My hunch is this is going to end up being one of the worst moments in the entire campaign for one of the candidates but it’s Barack Obama. […] I believe that this opened the door to not just Tony Rezko in that ad, but to bring up Reverend Wright, to bring up his relationship with Bill Ayers.
Has Halperin been in a coma? There have been thousands of articles about Obama and Wright in the press and for months FAUX News has done it's best to link Obama to Ayers. Those cards have already been played, Mark. It's time for you to do a little research about your colleagues coverage of these issues.
