Bearing Drift credentialed for RNC Convention
By JR Hoeft | Wednesday, July 9th, 2008 | Catch-AllBearing Drift has been selected by the RNC to cover the convention in Minneapolis-St. Paul from Sep. 1-4.
According to the notification, the press credential
“allows access to the 200 Level of the Xcel Energy Center as well as access to the Media Center, Press Conference Room and Filing Center. This credential does not provide access to any broadcast position, camera stand or writing press stand, nor does it provide access to the delegate floor (emph. added).”
My understanding is that Democrats are allowing their state bloggers to sit with the delegation. So, while I am gratified to be credentialed, this bit of news is a downer.

Jim – Congrats, that is GREAT news. You have definitely earned the rewards you are now receiving.
PS – did you see the Detroit News today? They’ve started tearing down Tiger Stadium… sad…
Didn’t see the news today, but I did blog about Tigers Stadium leaving us a couple of days ago. Bummer.
Thanks for the kudos. We may also be appearing on a couple of radio shows in the not too distant future.
You, also, deserve credit. You’ve been “a longtime friend of the show.”
Congrats and enjoy! I went to Philly and NYC and had a blast, but I’m passing this go round.
Congratulations, Jim!
Congrats!
And don’t you worry about the Democratic blogs. The DNCC might be backtracking…

Congrats Jim ! As if there was any doubt…

And congrats to the rest of the BD crew (even BK) as well.
