DCist to Represent D.C. in State Blogger Corps at Democratic National Convention
DCist was pleased to learn today that we've been selected as the official blog to represent the District of Columbia at this year's Democratic National Convention in Denver. DCist will be part of the State Blogger Corps, which is a new cadre of bloggers who cover state and local politics that the Democratic National Committee has invited to sit with their own delegations on the convention floor. You can find a full list of the blogs that were chosen from each state over here. The convention isn't until August, so in the meantime we'll be drifting off to sleep every night to the dulcet tones of DNC Chairman Howard Dean, who sent us his congratulations via the YouTube video above.
Oh, and to answer your question before you ask it, yes, we've also put in a request to cover D.C.'s delegation at the GOP Convention in Minneapolis, but we haven't heard anything back from them yet. Maybe the fact that the District votes 9 to 1 for Democrats has something to do with that?

Congrats DCist! I look forward to your coverage! (Being a blogger doesn't make you a superdelegate, does it?)
wait, dcist is liberal?
congrats!
State Blogger Corps? Ugh. That sounds incredibly lame. Even by Howard Dean standards.
Although I love Connecticut's blog: My Left Nutmeg.
DC is a state? Dare the dream. Dare.
Congratulations DCist! Loose Lips must have been salivating at the prospect of covering the Denver convention, but the DNC knew better than to mess with the 'ist. I look forward to your postings on DC voting rights speeches when you're a mile high.
Congrats! Though I hope this doesn't mean us commenters will have to be on our best behavior since you'll be getting a little wider audience. I mean, what's a Democratic National Convention without references to shaved panda amputees?
Answer: One I don't want to be a part of!
Congratulations on being chosen, in particular for being the only -ist chosen -- way to show them up!
