I’m the Director of Online Communications at the Democratic Convention, as Markos mentioned yesterday.

There are a few important points worth noting in response to Markos:

1. The Convention blogging program is a very good thing.  This will be the most historic political convention of our lifetime.  Blogs will be credentialed in greater numbers than ever before.   By far.  And in a Convention first, bloggers will be seated on the Convention floor – unprecedented access for members of the media.  That’s something that should be celebrated.  Plenty of good people on the Convention staff are working hard to make sure bloggers have access and respect when they arrive in Denver.  We’re planning blogger-specific facilities, and we’re helping the organizers of the DKos-sponsored Big Tent.  This is an impressive program.  Let’s not lose sight of that.
