Standing up for Jon Keller

Sure, some people might consider Jon Keller a gasbag (hmm, like who, I wonder?), but Chris Cagle says you really have to compare him against the competition, like Andy Hiller or John Henning. And when you do that, there's really no competition:

... Other pundits, playing the pundit game, hedge their statements too much with qualification (Hiller) or fail to break out of the fetishization of the political scene (Henning). I have some criticisms of his style (hyperbolic insults tossed from the position of luxury of not actually having to offer a positive solution to anything), but in face of the alternatives Keller is a welcome breath of fresh air.
