Dems Credential Bloggers; GOP Will, Too - EarthLink - Political News

July 9, 2004 10:11 PM EDT NEW YORK - More than 30 independent Web journalists have been accredited to cover the Democratic convention, and the Republicans said Friday they'll also credential so-called bloggers.

What's the difference between a blogger and a so-called blogger?

The Democrats initially invited an additional 20 bloggers to their July 26-29 party in Boston, but later rescinded those approvals and blamed a computer gaffe. That prompted complaints of unprofessionalism and favoritism. Convention spokeswoman Peggy Wilhide said the approval letters that went to the disinvited had been generated by mistake.

These people hope to run the country when they can't even run a computer?
