If you're a blogger, it's not too late to apply for credentials to attend the Democratic convention in Denver, Jason Rosenberg tells me. Rosenberg is the convention's online director, and he called me yesterday to make sure techPresident got its application in. (The deadline is April 15.)
The DNCC will be credentialing one blogger from every state and territory (56 in all), as well as an undetermined number of national bloggers. "We're looking for people with political impact," Rosenberg says, adding that bloggers have to demonstrate that by listing their Technorati rank, including at least five links to political posts they've written. Only bloggers who have been active for at least six months and have written at least 120 political posts will be considered for the credentials.
I asked Rosenberg about the logistics of the event, and bottom line is come prepared with your own aircard: wifi inside the convention will be spotty at best, due to all the other electromagnetic noise inside the hall. As for whether the bloggers will be seated in the nosebleed section, as they were in Boston in 2004, he said no decisions on seating had been made yet.
The Republicans have not yet established a deadline for blogger credential requests for their convention, but you can sign up to express your interest here.
