More official voices…
The Wall Street Journal introduces the (few) official bloggers of the Republican National Convention. I stand by what I said earlier.

You’re right: there really aren’t that many bloggers covering the Republican convention. I did find interesting that one blogger mentioned that he is planning to vote for Kerry (and that another refused to divulge his choice).
Also interesting that only one credentialed Blogger is female, and all are Caucasian. If I were doing the credentials I would have at least tried to cultivate the appearance of a little more diversity (whether that reflects “real” diversity is another matter).
Note: I also think your comments about the Democratic bloggers are correct. There’s a clear A-List, and while many of those bloggers are very talented, it severely limits how blogging is understood by mainstream audiences.
