As one of the most popular blogging sites to date, Tumblr will be sending off it's very own bloggers to cover both the Republican and Democratic conventions, to be posted on their new election page [Tumbling the Conventions](http://election.tumblr.com/?ref=ivn.us).

Already hard at work, the Tumblr page is populated with maps, images, videos, and of course, [memes](http://cognitivedissonance.tumblr.com/post/29282111184/romney-campaign-examined-tax-returns-of-potential-veeps?ref=ivn.us), giving viewers an inside look at what's to come in the following weeks. Browsing through recent posts, two things become evident: 1) the bloggers at Tumblr have a great sense of humor, and 2) memes will rule the 2012 election.
