Scott Sala hasn't had any luck getting creditials to New York's Republican state convention, and isn't sure whether Democrats and Republicans will give bloggers a seat at the table. (Both parties rolled out the "Welcome" banners for bloggers during national party conventions in 2004.)

(Bloggers shouldn't feel left out, though. Democrats are even turning a cold shoulder to Tom Suozzi this year.)

But, as we've seen so far, the candidates for New York governor appear much less skilled at integrating their campaigns with Web 2.0 than the national candidates two years ago. And the state parties tend to fall in line with their standard-bearers.

So, in other words, don't expect much.
