In a folksy speech that evoked Stetson hats, Gov. John Hickenlooper on Thursday simultaneously cheered on Tim Tebow and civil unions while calling for a mass conversation with Coloradans about the state's future.

In Hickenlooper's second State of the State address, delivered before a joint session of the state House and Senate, the Democratic governor called for initiatives ranging from a ballot measure to reform of the state's constitutionally imposed personnel system to a bicycle race on the Eastern Plains.

"The story of the Stetson is about one of Colorado's earliest entrepreneurs," Hickenlooper said. "That same spirit is with us today. Indeed, in some way everyone in this room is an entrepreneur."
