I reported last month at 2008 Democratic Convention Watch and again here at MyDD that there were still several states without any blogger credential applications for the convention.
A little more than a month later there are still 11 states with no applications.Alabama
Alaska
Hawaii
Idaho
Iowa
Maine
Maryland
Nevada
South Dakota
Texas
West Virginia
2008 DemConvention State Blogger Corps (PDF)
Recognizing the growth of more localized blogs, this pool is designed for those covering state and local politics. To qualify as a state blogger, the applicant's blog must have been in existence six months prior to requesting credentials and have at least 120 politically related blog posts. Bloggers must submit their daily audience and list their authority based on Technorati stats. Bloggers may also provide examples of posts that make their blog stand out as an effective online organizing tool and/or agent of change.
Once the state bloggers have been identified for the DemConvention State Blogger Corps, the applications of those not selected for this program will all be transferred for consideration for the general blogger pool.
If you've been planning on entering your blog but figured you'd wait, your time is running out. The deadline for applications is April 15th and bloggers will be notified in May if they will be getting credentials.
