TechRepublican managing editor Joe Mansour and I will be attending the Republican National Convention next week as credentialed bloggers. Natch.

You can expect to see lots of coverage on what you probably won't find elsewhere, like:
* How are the Convention staff handling the bloggers?
* Is our space better than that of the MSM outlets?
* What does the Google Lounge look and feel like?
* How expensive is the Internet connection?
* Do Republicans still think that the Internets is just a series of tubes?
* Random Republican "celeb" sightings on mobile devices (think Paparazzi style as I'm def rolling with my Nikon D300 and telescopic lens).
* Is Blogger-In-Chief Meghan McCain continuing to keep it real, authentic, and stylish?
* Does McCain's blogger relations guru Patrick Hynes have anything to say for continuing to rock 'n roll so well on the trail?
* How many times did the word "Internet" get said during the Convention speeches?
* Will Chuck Norris be there and will he grant me an interview (before killing me with an eyelash--BAM!)?
* How awesome are Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina (and will RNC spokesbloggette Liz Mair hook a brother up with an interview)?
* Has anyone heard of Slatecard?
* What's the feedback on the #dontgoMovement?
* And, of course, how awesome is the night life?

As always, we'll be blogging, vlogging, tweeting (follow @TechRepublican for blog posts, and @JMansour and @DavidAll for live-tweets), and phlogging (my Flickr account is here).

Heads up: I'll also be cross-posting some of my less-partisan posts over at TechPresident.

So as you can see, we're "in" and we're hopeful that you'll check in from time-to-time for a sneak-peek on what we're seeing from inside the Convention.

Revolution.
