Howard Dean Announces the 50 state Bloggers List for the Convention

spectrum of audiences in the 2008 Democratic National Convention experience

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Howard Dean today announced the blogs selected to
participate in the DemConvention State Blogger Corps during the four-day
event in August. Governor Dean notified the blogs selected via an online
video message available at http://www.DemConvention.com.

In addition to the State Blogger Corps, the DNCC will soon credential a
General Blogger Pool, to include local, state and national political

3. Did Skinner apply for the General Blogger Pool?
I can't remember if he mentioned it or not. I would love to have someone
like Nance represent DU or for that matter Skinner.

4. No fear - no way DKos is not gonna be part of it. The list right now
is about state-specific bloggers. DailyKos is national.

Although, I was hoping they would pick The Albany Project to represent NY State.

Oh, well, you can't have everything in this life.

6. I am sort of disappointed in a few, but happy about others.
The FL blog is one that kept its powder dry and did not speak up in defense of party rules, did not say what FL Dems did. But then only one FL blogger that I know of spoke up at all. :shrug:

It's a good blog, though.

I especially like the CT one and Left in the West.

7. I agree.
Blue Jersey would have been a far better choice.
