So what was everyone's thoughts on the State of Union? I must say, I was amused by the Democrats' thunderous cheers and applause in response to Bush's "Last year, Congress did not act on my social security plan."

Thoughts?

I didn't watch the State of the Union but I read it. I thought it was very conservative in an attempt to build back that base that might have been damaged in this turbulent year. I guess the Republicans feel that they have enough time inbetween to capture those moderate voters.

Conversely, I thought the Democrats were trying to reach out to the middle with Kaine's speech. He's of course a newly elected Governor from Virginia, citing his work as a missionary. I thought that was interesting.

We'll see who's strategy works better.
