A big thanks to journalist Dave Cullen of Conclusive Evidence whose article on Colorado bloggers comes out tomorrow in Denver's upscale magazine, 5280. TalkLeft is one of the featured blogs, along with Stephen Green of VodkaPundit, Walter of WalterinDenver and Andy O'Reilly of World Wide Rant. We haven't read the whole thing yet, just the quotes Dave put on his site. Here's one of our's:

"When I'm on [FoxNews'] Hannity & Colmes, a milllion people may see me," she says. "But how many of those people are really interested in what I have to say? But when I blog, people are reading me because they're interested in the liberal viewpoint."

[Then later in the piece:]

"It's the response that keeps you going," she says. "People are really reading. And through the comments, you can see they're thinking and discussing. You know you've hit a chord, and it pumps you up."
