I can't get too excited about Obama's State of the Union tonight. It'll be sam' ol sam' ol.
Marco Rubio giving the GOP Nonstate of the Disunion might be more entertaining, unintentionally.

Me too. It's more of the same -- a stump speech from the campaign instead of a state of the union. I wish somebody had the balls to tell it like it is.

Absolutely right, NoCo. Which is why I am ignoring it. I think the state of the union message was better long ago when the pres just sent a note to congress and spared the rest of us from trying to stay awake through the tedium.

I keep wishing, no wait. Let me rephrase that. I keep WONDERING what would have happened if Ross Perot had won in 1992.

Well he hit some emotional high points during the gun control segment. Made me cry a bit. Gabby Giffords applauding.

I've flipped back and forth several times between MSNBC and Fox News, and the contrast is stark. MSNBC has Michael Steele, former GOP chair. Fox is running viewer comments.

Rubio's response is well written and well delivered. Facts are wrong though.

Lol. Fox is running a graphic of viewer polling during the SOTU, showing that the reception among viewers was mostly negative.
