Astoundingly (or not...), press credential applications are no longer being accepted for the 2008 Republican National Convention in September. Interestingly though, bloggers have until the day after tomorrow (May 15th) to indicate their interest.
According to the RNC's website, "...a to-be-determined number of independent bloggers, those not associated with traditional media outlets, will be credentialed to blog at our convention." Independent bloggers will have to apply for "Special Press" credentials, for which there is currently no deadline. Elsewhere on the RNC's site, however, it states that "The deadline for blogger applications is May 15, 2008." I can only assume that this refers to the deadline for "indicating interest" -- which prospective bloggers can do here.
