Say hello to SquareState's 50 state blog roundup.
Fours years ago this week on Coyote Gulch, "Dave Cullen: 'But these guys (the Dean guys) . . . They're starting to make me salivate. I was drawn to Dean because of Dean, but the longer this goes on, the crazier it gets, the more I think it may be one of those amazing marriages of the right man at the right time, coming together with the right band of wiz kids to help make it happen.'"

From The Rocky Mountain News, "The report by the Williams Institute at UCLA's School of Law found that the number of same- sex couples nationwide quadrupled to nearly 780,000 between 1990 and 2006, with the biggest increases seen in the Rocky Mountain and Southern states. Colorado ranked ninth among states with the highest concentration of same-sex couples. The report drew criticism from religious and conservative groups that say the study is biased in favor of gays and lesbians. Colorado's state demographer said the report may overestimate the increases. The study suggests a variety of reasons for the growth in the number of people identifying themselves as part of a gay couple, including increased social acceptance prompting more gays to come out. Another possible explanation, especially in conservative parts of the country, is that more couples are coming out and being counted as a political statement in response to anti-gay political sentiment. There is also the possibility that gays and lesbians are simply following general demographic trends."

From The Crested Butte News:, "The Town of Crested Butte's efforts to increase awareness of mining law reform have paid off as the U.S. Senate has requested town representatives testify on Capitol Hill on Thursday, December 13. Town manager Susan Parker and Town attorney John Belkin first traveled to Washington, D.C. in September, and they met with Congressional representatives in hopes of being asked back to testify on behalf of reforming the Mining Law of 1872...The trip proved successful as Senator Jeff Bingaman (Dem.-N.M.), chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Resources, has requested Parker and Belkin testify during the committee's oversight hearing next week."
