Party All Night
Here's the scoop on CNN's invitation-only "E-lection Nite Blog Party" at Tryst in Adams Morgan. The network has a pretty interesting recipe for Tuesday night fun (or chaos), which is scheduled to last into the wee hours of Wednesday morning.
Start out with equal parts lefty and righty political bloggers. Toss in free food, drink (plenty of caffeine) and Wi-Fi. Add roving video cameras to capture the drama as it unfolds. The network is planning interviews with bloggers as the returns come in (Internet reporters Jacki Schechner and Abbi Tatton will be on-hand). Much of the action will air uncut on CNN's premium online video service Pipeline (for those viewers who are especially voyeuristic).
There's no telling what might happen with all of these strong opinions (and egos) jammed into one room. Of course, removed from the Internet's near-anonymity, the bloggers may actually get along in person. Or not. Whatever happens, it will be interesting and we will be there to fill you in.
Here's a list of the bloggers expected to attend:
Right-leaning: Captain's Quarters, Ankle Biting Pundits, Outside the Beltway, Townhall, RedState, wizbang, Lashawn Barber's, Althouse, National Review, Powerline, Betsy's Page.
Left-leaning: Crooks and Liars, Eschaton, Think Progress, AmericaBlog, Washington Note, Firedoglake, MyDD, Huffington Post, Pam's House Blend, Mark Lamont Blog, Talk Left.
Lost Remote, Wonkette and FishbowlDC have been thrown in for good measure.
