What do you think? I’ve never heard him speak.

SaaaaaaaWeeeeeeeeet!

[LdSentinal]

Good. Have a conservative give the address instead of the RINO Brown.

Hope he’s better than Jindal was. Most anyone would be.........

[sanjuanbob]

As long as he stays positive and constructive. No Barry bashing, and stay away from republican rah rah. (R) was a nasty word during the last election and now will need a slow and balanced re-introduction to the mainstream voter.

Excellent choice. He actually gets it and understands regular Americans.

Since Barry will be pushing his bank tax in the SOTU, I hope the Guv refers to it as the bank customer tax. Since that is who will be ultimately paying for it via higher fees.

Populist: A supporter of the rights and power of the people.

If the GOP retains Mikey Steele, then more “Republican/Independets” will run as Populists [not the 1891 political party].

Sarah Palin, Scott Brown, Bob McDonnell, and others who use the “R” are not Mikey Steele and the GOP style Republicans. They are Populist Republicans. And that’s why they get the votes and why they win. They don’t want nor need Mikey Steele to come to their States and rally voters. The voters are already rallied. Mikey Steele would be the “kiss of defeat” just like 0bama is for Democrats.

Think outside the “Republican” Box! The New “R” politicians do not fit into a GOP mold. They do fit into Their State Conservative/Populist/Republican Rights mold.

It’s a new, freer, more educated, more outspoken political atmosphere. For Virginians, Bob McDonnell is their choice. For Massachusetts, Scott Brown is their choice. Neither of them have to be cookie-cutter replicas of each other. They “fit” their own State Voters even if they don’t fit the Voters of another State.

The person who appeals to voters in every State will be the person who is the best “fit” for the “R” win for the White House in 20-12.

Normally I wouldn’t bother to watch the liar in chief.

But this is so delicious I can hardly wait.

He put off the SOTU so he could brag on passing health care.

Now he can talk only about the failures of the past year, all being President Bush’ fault.

It's way, way, way too early for this but on another blog this morning I saw the following:

McDonnell/Brown 2012

Yeah I know it's crazy at this point but these are two relatively young, attractive candidates and they both have bright futures. It will be interesting to watch both.

[Darnright]

Excellent! An antidote to the embarrassment of having The Eyebrow give the dem response to Dubya’s last SOTU speech.

Classic!

Here’s the YouTube link to his State of the Commonwealth address he made a few days ago:
