I participated in a conference call with Chip Cravaack and his campaign yesterday; it was where he officially released the news that his internal polling shows him in a statistical tie with 17-term representative Jim Oberstar.<\/p>\n

And Cravaack quipped that while he’s trying to run a local campaign with local activists, he noted that all of the bloggers on the call – Ed Morrissey (CD2), Derek Brigham (CD3), Gary Gross (CD6) and I (CD4) were from outside the district.<\/p>\n

And I thought – wow. \u00a0Could it be there are no conservative bloggers in the Eighth District?<\/p>\n

If so, that needs to change.<\/p>\n

If you are a conservative blogger up in the Eighth District, and you’ve been covering the Oberstar\/Cravaack race, drop me a line, either in the comments or on my email address.<\/p>\n

And if you’ ve ever wanted to start a conservative blog up there in Duluth or Two Harbors or Virginia, there’s no time like the present. \u00a0Go to Blogger.com<\/a>, and take two minutes to set up your blog, and devote twenty minutes a day to writing something <\/em>about politics in the Eighth District, and when you’ve got a week or two and half a dozen articles in, let me know; the Minnesota Organization of Bloggers and True North will set you off in style.<\/p>\n

Perhaps you can become <\/em>that alt-media elite. \u00a0(There are more than a few leftybloggers up there. \u00a0You should do juuuust fine).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
