This whole "unity" thingy could backfire on the Dems as the gossipy press yacks about who is sitting with whom and the Prez gets shoved to the back burner.

Somebody is going to get stuck with Barney Frank as their “seat buddy”.

Are they really going to do this? I thought the R’s had decided not to?

Obarry asks, Obarry gets.
Pathetic, GOP.

Next thing you know it'll be 2004 again, with "Power Sharing" - which only benefits the Dems, of course...

A purely political Dem tactic to hide the results of 11/2/10 and many in the GOP are still determined to keep their ownership of “The Stupid Party.”

Sgt. Krupke tried this in West Side Story at a dance attended by the Sharks and the Jets (rival gangs). If we're lucky something similar to what occurred in WSS will happen on Tuesday night.

“Prez gets shoved to the back burner. “

Yes, they might do news management that way. Might work, too, to get people’s attention somewhere else.

Maybe he’ll be attacked by a rabbit? That would distract people for a week or so.

What makes all of this even more sickening is that Obama is most surely going to go into some rant on the virtues of homosexuality being he considers the repeal of DADT a sucess for his administration.

Then of course the MSM can pan around to each Congress person and their date to see their reactions.

This entire idea is sickening. The republicans are idiots for going along with this.

Starting 24 hours before the event, every republican shall be placed on a diet restricted to beans, beer, cabbage, boiled eggs, and chocolate milk.

I’ve got an idea. Why don’t they share committee chairmanships with the Dems like the Senate did a few years ago. That really worked out well.

This is a noxious Dem idea; and has a 'grade school' MO. Unfrikenbleiveble that Repubs bought into this. An idea;that never would have been conceived, save for huge losses of our Never-Loyal, Opposition.

Where, where, IS Republican spine? Enough, enough. ..Stop The Madness of Dem PC Machiavellian machinations.

Message to those who supported this arrangement: Stand UP/Grow Up and do what you were elected to do!

IMO the whole (dim) idea is to dilute the appearance of the huge repub majority.

The only thing I’m looking forward to on Tuesday night is hearing Paul Ryan give the Republican rebuttal. I love to hear him talk budgets & spending. Hope he has 10 or so minutes chock full of facts and figures.

Last year Gov of VA wasn’t bad but Jindal the year before was HORRIBLE.

I know Paul Ryan will turn in a fantastic performance.

The damned fools haven’t realized that this is yet another ploy by the Rats to dilute GOP numbers and cover up the extent of the true extent of their November losses.

All for the show cause it will not change anything. The sheer amount of idiocy displayed these days by politicians is utterly mind-numbing. =.=

So far almost 60 members of Congress are taking part in the bipartisan mixer, but one Senator who has signed on to idea still doesn’t have a date:

"The bipartisan gesture"

The use of Republicans as "Human Shields" is depressing....simply a big-time photo-op for The Messiah to claim he's "The Great Unifier.....bringing people together"...

There's so many RINO's amongst the current so-called Republicans that they may as well sit amongst those that they vote with......
