Who should replace Bill Kristol?

asks Poliltico.
Answer: it depends. If the nytimes is looking for someone (like Kristol) who won't be threatening to lefties, Peggy Noonan is a good idea. If on the other hand, they want someone who writes good columns, Ross is obvious choice, or Lowry. David Frum, Christopher Caldwell also good, plus they both hate Palin. If they're looking for neocon like Kristol more than "full spectrum" conservative, Max Boot, or Seth Lipsky.
my hunch is it might be Douthat who wrote a secret essay for them here
