Wizbang RNC Stalker Election - News Babes (Wizbang)

In case I hadn't mentioned it, Wizbang will be at the Republican National Convention as one of the officially accredited bloggers. In the spirit of democracy I'm giving Wizbang readers a vote in who will go on the interview stalking list. Each week leading up to the convention there will be a different category, such as news babes, celebrities, talking heads, politicians, etc. This weeks vote is for news babes. There will be upward of 15,000 journalists covering the convention so there should be no shortage of media types to interview, but the winner of this election will be target #1.

Reminder

Any money you can spare to sponsor Wizbang's coverage is HUGELY appreciated. As a special incentive, donations of $50 (or more) will get a sponsor link in the Wizbang Sponsors section from the date of their donation through the convention. Everyone who donates will get private access to all the pictures I take during the week.

Update: Rob of SayAnything has graciously (and I might add independently) offered up photos of his girlfriend au natural (with her concurrence of course) for those who donate. How can you turn down an offer like that? Hint - You can't...

Update 2: Powerline's Hindrocket is now one of the credentialled RNC bloggers. Congratulations.

Wizbang Blue: Removing GOP from Power in Congress

Republicans have made fundamentally wrong choices for America, and instead embarked on a self-serving, morally righteous crusade that has touched and tainted everything from the Justice Department's US Attorney scandal, to the Iraq march to war and subsequent attempts to involve Iran as a part of a religious imperative to rid the world of Islam. Now it's time to pay the piper...

Wizbang Blue: Cindy McCain's Dirty Little Secrets

I hit on this a few days ago in a post titled "McCain's Dirty Little Money Secrets", and now a defiant and arrogant Cindy McCain is back in the news this morning, and once again its news of her own making. She's the kind of trouble John McCain just doesn't need -- but as far as I can see McCain has no chance of keeping a lid on the problems she will create for his candidacy.

Daryn Kagan isn't the hottest - IMHO - but she's very down to earth and really cool, too. I've bumped into her a few times at parties here in Atlanta, and she was very gracious. I think she's a bit of a bleeding-heart, though...

CNN Headline News anchors weren't considered, since they are unlikely to be attending. I did leave people off if I didn't think there was a chance they would be there.
