Vis InstaPundit, I found this exchange on Adam Bonin's blog, Throwing Things, on how he was able to get press credentials to a Democratic Presidential Candidates Town Meeting in Philadelphia:
Phone call with the SMWIA rep went something like:
"So, you run a weblog?"
"Yes."
"And it's called Throwing Things?"
"Yes."
"A weblog . . . that's pretty marginal . . . but, okay, we'll let you in."
OK, are there any other perks one gets from blogging? Free tote bags? Hotel soaps? Just curious.
In all seriousness, this is one of the things I love about the early stages of presidential campaigns -- all candidates (even putative front-runners) are so desperate for voter and media interactions that they'll meet with just about anyone not wearing a swastika or hammer & sickle on their lapels.

Several NY bloggers were invited to a political roundtable in NY last month by "The Week" magazine, where we got to trip over many people whose names are in bold type in the NY society pages.
