The other day I created a new game for my three children.

A couple weeks ago, Clem at West Virginia Blue went through all the state blogs on the BlogPAC list and highlighted a long list of posts from around the states. A few of us said, hey, great idea, keep it up and so here you go - the stories that caught my eye from around the stateblogosphere. I tried to flag posts that were mostly original content, locally focused and not previously cross-posted out the wazoo.

mattw of MyLeftNutmeg.com kicks the State Blog Roundup into another gear this week. Cross-posted with permission:

Some of you might remember that MyLeftNutmeg.com was picked by BlogPAC earlier this year to receive a grant and billing as the state's "official" progressive blog. The idea was to build a network of progressive community blogs across all 50 states, and in the interest of getting more people talking to each other, a few of us have been kicking around the idea of doing a weekly post highlighting the best of the state-level blogosphere.

Last week West VA Blue set the ball rolling, and My Left Nutmeg is host to the 2nd week of this experiment. Expect to see a post each Friday or Saturday somewhere on the tubes, which will be linked or cross-posted here.

I just got done adding in a number of state blogs to the left hand column-- thanks to Laura Packard for helping me out with the additions and deciding which blogs should be listed. There are still a number of states left empty, and some of those listed are not really DD-endorsed activist sites, but generalists, but it's further along. Right alongside the efforts to field a candidate in every race, a 50 state party, we need blogs in every state that take on the local leadership-- that's going to be where netroots activism hits the ground with grassroots action. So if there are any state blogs that I left out, let me know in the comments and I'll make the addition.

Multiple statewide blogad networks, like Iowa and others have, won't be far behind either.

I am of the persuasion that blog reading has not peaked-- not even close. Instead, what we are seeing is the beginning of a flattening of the readership-- where the real growth in readership is happening is at state and local blogs. And so it's those portals to this netroots activity that the State Blogroll is aiming at featuring.
