Movin’ on up?

Bloggers, I hate to break it to you.

But you’re one of us now.

The Democratic National Convention Committee has selected its “blogger corps.” A political blogger from each state was selected to attend.

The DNCC received more than 400 applications from bloggers across the country.

Those selected had to show they’ve become recognized authorities on state and local politics, submit daily audience information and illustrate the reach and impact of their posts.

Each blogger (list here) will be credentialed and seated with their state delegations. They’ll also have access to the floor of the convention hall. And there will be a blogger pool, made up of to-be-determined bloggers.

Sounds suspiciously like the hated main-stream media, doesn’t it?

Some reaction from the selected bloggers here, here and here.

And an interview on SquareState.net with Howard Dean about greater accessibility for bloggers.
