I’ll be blogging from a DC coffee house starting around 4 Eastern as part of a CNN’s “E-lection Nite Blog Party.” (See how they have the clever homage to the kids there with the intentional misspelling of “night” and the pun on E as in electronic? Very hip!) Here’s the lowdown:
On Election Night, Tuesday, November 7th, CNN is hosting prominent bloggers from across the country – and across the ideological spectrum – to Washington, D.C. to watch returns, blog alongside one another, and share political insights during its live election coverage. Parts of the event will be streamed live on CNN Pipeline and from time to time broadcasted live on CNN’s televised Election Night coverage starting at 7 PM E.T. Blogging begins at 4 PM and may continue into the early morning hours.
I can’t imagine I’ll be staying until the early morning hours but I’ll be there until we have a pretty good idea who’ll be running the Senate next year or I get too tired to care.

Not so exclusive when you list them all like that! I doubt we’ll get much air time but it should be an interesting gathering. I’ve met several of these people, since it’s a DC Metro-centric crowd, but haven’t had the pleasure in other cases. (And, frankly, haven’t even heard of a couple others. The blogosphere’s mighty big these days.)
And, no, the CNN banner ad is unrelated to my participation in the event. They followed MSNBC’s lead in buying up lots of blog ad space to tout their election coverage.
