We are not the hate-crazed loonies of Leftist fantasy, screaming about guns and abortion - some of us are quite normal and well-behaved and don't even bring up the subject of politics if it can be avoided. (I certainly don't - but then I live in Chicago, aka the Blue Zone Heart of Darkness, and I don't want my windows broken.) In short, Republicans usually have a life apart from politics, so we're easier to talk to than Democrats. Come and try us sometime.

Since I paid no attention to this phenomenon at the Dem convention, I have no insight on the point. Are you a reporter/commentator on events via the net? Do you have a wider role? Something more interactive? I don't expect that bloggers are going to be allowed to email queries to speakers at the convention, but what exactly do you get/want to do? Have any TV networks scheduled interviews with you on the process? Do you get to roam around the place, or do they have all the bloggers in a designated area akin to a press box? In other words, if you are a fly on the wall, do you get to leave the wall and fly around? Roger,

Here in CA we meet in dimly lit basements to shot at a target and join at prayer, even the are atheist, just on a principle. On the plus side nobody can denouce us to authorities because all 20 of us know one another. Goodness, guys, Republicans obviously have lots of fun in the rest of the country.

You'll get along fine with the Repubs; you'll be surprised how seldom we end up debating abortion and the drug war; gay marriage is certainly a hot topic. Congrats, Rog!
