my vote is for elad, though newyawker would make an awsome new skinner, being universally respected and all.

5. No, he's quit.
He said he's taking a break with his wife for a few months. The current rumor is that Salon.com wants to hire him as the new editor.

Good luck to you Skinner.

:thumbsup:

11. I'm not sure how that's going to work out.

Skinner owns DU - so I don't see how he can quit. My understanding is that he will sell his interest in DU to PajamasMedia so that there won't be a conflict of interest.
