I've finally registered www.austincontrarian.com.  It maps to my old domain, which is still active, so nothing ought to change.  It's just easier to remember.

Congrats on the move.

Sometime ago you posted some great tables of weighted density of cities. So you have similar data by states? Someone pointed out a strong correlation between Presidential polling numbers and density and I would think that it would be enhanced using weighted density...

I saw that. Standard density (state population/state area) is a meaningless metric for that purpose because it is so arbitrary.

I have not done a similar calculation for all 50 states. I did it for Texas, though, and got a little over 3,000 ppsm. http://www.austincontrarian.com/austincontrarian/2008/07/urban-texas.html
That reflects that most Texans live in an urban environment. Northeastern states would have much higher weighted densities. California, too.
If I were to run the regression, I'd probably run it using the percentage of urbanized population times the weighted density of the urbanized population, since I figure rural voters everywhere tend to be more conservative; you're looking for the variation in political views of the urban dwellers.

And now you're part of the Best of Austin:
