William Saletan is the national correspondent at Slate.com. Saletan gained recognition in the fall of 2004 with his nearly daily columns covering the ups and downs of the 2004 presidential race. He currently writes Slate.com's "Human Nature" column. Previously, he wrote "Frame Game," which analyzed the way current events are spun by politicians and the media and "Ballot Box," a column devoted to politics and policy.

A self described "liberal Republican," Saletan came out strongly against the re-election of George W. Bush. He described his disenchantment with today's Republican Party in a series of dispatches from the 2004 Republican Convention. In 2004, he also wrote the book "Bearing Right: How Conservatives Won the Abortion War."
