» KEYETV, CBS station in Austin, has a piece on NN08 and blogging in general. Definitely written by a non-blogger. Two of the Texas blogs get nice nods and links in the article.

» McJoan of Daily Kos interviewed Howard Dean along with Chris Bowers and Jonathan Singer yesterday after his NN08 rally and writes about their discussion. Interesting read on upcoming strategies and past successes.

» RealClearPolitics blog notes the opening of NN08 and incorrectly quotes Howard Dean. He really said "affinity group", not "infinity group". Clean the wax out of your ears, guys.

» Blogcritic's Dave Nalle files his first spy report. As he acknowledges right off the bat, he is there undercover to see what the other side is doing. He demonstrates his complete ignorance of the left blogosphere in his description of the attendees and the dkos blogging community. Beware who you're talking to at the conference.
