    Have any bloggers received credentials for the debate? I covered the GOP and Democratic debates in South Carolina, but I’ve apparently been turned down by CSU…or at least didn’t hear back by 4 today.

    Tim and I have communicated now about this, but for anyone else wondering, yes – the credential info, as of about 10:30pm Friday night, had been sent out via e-mail.
