Most of our regular readers know about Netroots Nation and believe it or not, that time of the year is coming up again. I've never been and I *really* want to go -- the schedule has just never quite worked. In any event, Democracy for America sponsors attendees to this conference every year by providing scholarships to progressive bloggers and activists who couldn't otherwise go.

A word of caution, children, before we discuss the arcane ways of the redistrictor: some mysteries were not meant for man to understand.
