Crack The Bell is way more important than Seattle's weekly The Stranger. CTB is the Official SC Democratic Convention Blogger. He gets to be seated with the state delegation. By contrast, The Stranger, home of the biggest gasbags this side of The Hindenburg gets this treatment (note to Mudede- The Revolution's Over. My side won. In 1989. But even as a Marxist Out of Time, he'll be better than that eternally humorless scold, Pam's House Blend):
Convention Bound

At this moment next week, The Stranger will have three writers at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, bringing you all the drama, delegate intrigue, and free-booze-fueled pontificating that we can fit on the internets.
That, I believe, will be more writers than any other Seattle publication will have in Denver—but hey, it’s a heavy burden being Seattle’s Only Newspaper™ and we’re happy to do our part.
So who’s going? Yours truly, along with Charles Mudede (who will be keeping a close Marxist eye on all the bourgeoise attempts to trick the common man) and Annie Wagner (who will be keeping a close almost-an-Obama-delegate eye on the Washington State delegation and its coterie of die-hard Hillary supporters).
For the moment, however, we’re still reveling in having been granted entry to the convention by the esteemed Executive Committee of Correspondents of the Congressional Periodical Press Galleries, which controls convention access for alt-weeklies such as this one. We’re also conducting a three-day crash course on meeting the requirements that we “dress in professional attire” and adhere to a strict set of rules and regulations.
