446 The RNC in New York City

I truly hope the main stream media can find something to talk about and focus on other than the protestors, even though I believe in the long run, they will make the Democrats look like a bunch of fringe lunatic losers.

There will be bloggers there who may be a better source of the news. WSJ online has an article about the bloggers credentialed for the Republican convention. Will it be different? Maybe:
"Some Republican convention bloggers also took shots at the Boston bloggers. Asked what they learned from Boston, some of the New York bloggers characterized the Boston coverage as self-absorbed and overly preoccupied with celebrity sightings. The Republican bloggers said they'd stay more focused on the issues and the convention itself -- a chance they'll get next week." Free link here.

Ben Domenech, a blogger I've never read, said in response to this question:"What did you learn from the Boston coverage? Just about everyone blogging from Boston had a completely misguided attitude towards convention coverage. The interesting part isn't talking about Michael Moore or Jon Stewart, but how the Michigan fan and the Ohio State fan get along after four cases of S'more Schnapps at the 25th Annual Gala to Stop Intellectual Piracy (which is just like normal piracy, except without the plunder and wimmins)."
