The Seminal is in Denver

by Ian M Fried  ::  Filed Under Special Topics  ::  August 24th, 2008 @ 11:01 am EST

With the Democratic Party having blessed us with Blogger Media credentials, The Seminal is set to bring its own twist on events at the Democratic National Convention over the next week.  While there are thousnds of credentialed media here in the Mile High City, we hope you will find that our coverage skews a bit differently from others.  While this is a left-leaning site, we do not parrot the views of any party or political group.  We would also like to welcome Air America listeners as our posts will be cross-posted on their website all this week.

There are three Seminal bloggers covering Denver:

Red Wind will explore how the Main Stream Media is covering the events in Denver and elsewhere.  He will also look at the message being broadcast by the Democrats and how it matches up with their actual policies and actions.

Josh Nelson will be covering Environmental and Energy issues, tech issues, and just generally try and cause a ruckus with his video camera.

As for myself, Ian, I plan on looking at voter strategies in terms of messaging, electoral targets and GOTV.  I will also cover some environmental/energy issues, as well as some takes on globalization — as well as whatever else comes up.

If there are any issues/topics you wish to have us cover or comment about, please leave your thoughts in the comments.   We hope you all enjoy our coverage.
