CNN Blog Party

Tuesday, November 7: For the latest party/election news, see this post.
——————————————————————————————————-

Now that the Los Angeles Times has written it up, I guess I can blog about it now.

CNN invited me to an election night “blog party,” where I’ll live-blog mid-term election coverage with conservative bloggers like Ed Morrissey, Mary Katharine Ham, and liberals like Pam Spaulding, who no doubt considers me a “black fundie.” ;)

I’m told CNN will interview some of the bloggers. From the article:

CNN is trying to incorporate bloggers directly into its coverage of next week’s midterm elections by inviting them to an “E-lection Nite Blog Party,” an event aimed at corralling some of the top online opinion makers in one place to provide instant reaction as the results come in.

The cable news network plans to host more than two dozen bloggers from across the political spectrum — including sites like RedState and Daily Kos — at a Washington Internet lounge where they can monitor the election returns on a slew of flat-screen televisions. (Each blogger will get his or her own monitor, which can be tuned to any channel.) There will be free wireless access — and plenty of food and beverages, natch.

If you haven’t watched CNN in years, perhaps you’ll tune in Tuesday night to catch me and others live-blogging and hopefully talking about the results.

Congrats! You deserve that and other great things!

What’s a black fundie?

The only show I watch on CNN is Lou Dobbs Tonight. I gave up on the rest of their lineup long ago.

But that said Congrats La Shawn…knock em dead:)

“I am ready for my Close up”

I saw Bet Davis in that old flick last month, how terribly depressing the flick was, but she is one hell of an actress. Can’t remember the name of the darn flick though. Senior moment.

Good Luck and wear a Duke Innocent wristband!!

Sorry La Shawn,

Even for a beautiful intelligent woman as yourself I can’t unblock CNN.

Bring the truth on ‘em!

Whatever you do … don’t mention my name to Pam Spaulding.

She doesn’t like me much.

Congrats La Shawn.

Way cool lady! I’ll force myself to watch CNN just to hopefully get to see and hear your reaction, especially on the stem cell research constitutional amendment in Missouri. Bone up on that issue – it’s really explosive.

Way to go, La Shawn!!! Just give us the sign if you need backup from the choir 8)

Sorry, gave up CNN years ago. Not even for you, but nice try by CNN.

Just what is the Communist News Network looking for? what BIG BAD WOLF BLITZER up to besides being unscrupulous?
