Courtesy of Betsy Muse at BlueNC, here's the final 50 State Blog Network Roundup for the year.

Things are heating up in Iowa and New Hampshire as the two states are flooded
with volunteers from across the country. Many of us who can't
physically be in early primary states to knock on doors are helping to
call voters. What are you doing to prepare for primary season?

Here is an abbreviated list of important stories from our 50 State Blog
network. Holiday travel and unexpected plans have prevented a more
thorough roundup, but make sure you visit the state blogs listed in the
right sidebar at Open Left and the left sidebar at MyDD.

Thank you and Happy New Year!
