Day # 2 of Republican Advance: Bob McDonnell's gathering for bloggers

Attorney General Bob McDonnell hosted a gathering of approximately 20 conservative bloggers attending this year's Republican Advance ... and Congressman Tom Davis and Delegate Chris Saxman sat in on the session, contributing and listening to the give-and-take of those involved in this communication tool.

I was thrilled to sit side-by-side with the likes of Shaun Kenney, Southwest by Southeast, Elephant Ears, and others. Several attending didn't actually have blog sites but made frequent comments to blogs.

This is something that is gaining acceptance in the political sphere ... and this meeting was the beginning of gathering these folks together and thinking about the future of blogging in conservative campaigns.

Thanks to Bob McDonnell for offering the opportunity to begin the dialogue on this important issue.
