Blogging Summit
Xoff asked to be shot if he ever blogged about blogging.
Please note I did not make that same request. So, here goes.
I've read some interesting grumbling regarding the WisPolitics/WisOpinion Blog Summit, in which I've been asked to participate.
Most notably, from Sean at the American Mind.
While not with the same fervor as Sean, I do see his point.
While Professor John McAdams (a fellow panelist) has is own take, I know that WisPolitics has said this was a tentative schedule and I have it on very good authority that some "regular joes" will be added to the afternoon's lineup to address some of the concerns of Sean, Chris, et. al.
Some are of the belief that the blogging phenomenon has jumped the shark. They point to a drop in traffic to some sites, and the emergence of MSM blogs as a sign that the bubble has burst.
I do not share that belief.
I am looking forward to the event in two weeks; and to meeting many of you who, bloggers or not, share an appetite for information on politics and current events and are blog readers.
I also welcome the opportunity to share my perspective on how blogs (not mine) will impact the 2006 elections and how I believe candidates would be wise to treat this emerging medium.
As always, I welcome your feedback. Either through the comments section or via email, drop me a line and let me know what you'd get out of the summit.

Anybody who is still planning on atttending Dohnal's Future Wisconsin conference but complains about the Blogging summit is confused and hypocritical.
I can't go so I haven't looked closely enough at it to find anything to complain about. No hypocrite here.
I'd like to hear anonymous' concern.
Anonymous,
That's a load of crap. The Future Wisconsin Conference has nothing to do with blogging. It is a conservative conclave, if you will. The gripe that I and others have had with the Blog Summit is that it is specifically being held for bloggers, but excluded an important part of the blogosphere.
Apples and oranges...
These events have more in common than anyone wants to admit.
Future Wisconsin is put on by Bob Dohnal for the sake of Bob Dohnal. At least the blog conference has some sort of a point.
Amazing how they are always Anonymous why cant they leave a name.
plus to prove Owens point I doubt Ed Garvey would be asked to speak at Future Wis.
Great point Chris.
On a completely unrelated and much happier note, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
So we share the same birthday? I don't have an opinion on the blog summit but you can go to my site for my thoughts on Blog.
