CONGRESSMAN STRICKLAND MEETS THE BLOGGERS: Six Cleveland bloggers (George, Tim, Adam, Jack, Gerardo and me) showed up at Talkie's today to quiz the candidate for governor about school finance, business taxes, small-scale economic development, trade policy, municipal home rule, the Third Frontier vs. the digital divide, and more.

The audio should be up this evening at www.meetthebloggers.net. And (drum roll, please) there'll be a transcript soon.

Meanwhile, George live-blogged it, and Adam's account is already posted at Now That's Progress.

(As a fringe benefit, I finally got to meet Jesse Taylor, who used to run Pandagon and gave it up to work for the Strickland campaign.)
