RNC Press Rejection Letter

I was not expecting to get a press pass for the Republican National Convention (RNC), however I did try:

July 7, 2008

Dear Special Press Credential Applicant:

Thank you for applying for credentials to cover the 2008 Republican National Convention. We appreciate your interest in covering this historic event.

Unfortunately, due to the overwhelming interest in covering our convention, we are unable to accommodate your request for Special Press Credentials.

We hope you choose to follow our proceedings through other means, including our live-stream at www.GOPConvention2008.com.

Sincerely,

Special Press Credentials Office
2008 Republican National Convention

And here I was hoping to talk someone into giving a copy of the script that will be used for running the Republican National Convention.

Of course, they would not have been able to control the message with me. I would have counted and reported empty seats, yawns, individualized posters, etc. I would interviewed and talked with ordinary Republican delegates.
