Now, news about where he's going next (while still analyzing for ABC): Time magazine, as editor-at-large and senior political analyst. Meanwhile, in the past few days comes word that Rick Klein of the Boston Globe is taking over The Note and also becomes ABC News senior political reporter.

Questions:
What does Halperin's arrival mean for Time's political coverage? Do we see any change in its tone? Any possible bias? Does it gain influence considering how Halperin built The Note into a major read among those in the world of politics?
What does Rick Klein do for The Note? Does it stay influential in political circles, or does it become just another daily political update? Does he have any sort of bias towards one party/ideology?
