BS
"Ben is supposed to be the lefty voice over at Politico.com"
Is he? He's covering the Dems, but I don't think he's supposed to be the lefty voice.
I know Ben Smith, I worked with Ben Smith (kinda, as an originating blogger on Room 8), Ben Smith is a friend of mine, Liza, Ben Smith is no lefty and he never was.
Ben was constantly accused of having a conservative bias on his creation the Politicker (which is part of a conservative newspaper's website). I didn't see it most of the time, but occasionally I caught a glimpse. In any case, he was never accused of having a liberal or "lefty" bias.
I don't read Politico as often as I think I should (I concentrate more on the NYC stuff), so I can't really say whether he has a bias on that site, but I think you are looking for a Ben Smith who never existed.
I agree, however, about missing him on the NYC blog scene, but as good a job as Azi is doing, I really miss him on the Politicker rather than the Daily Politics.
