2012 COTU (SOTU) Speech to a Joint Session of Congress official commentary

[Dereich]

How long before he says the equivalent of "the state of the union is good but could be better"?

[Dereich]

I can't tell whose going to fall asleep first; Boehner(sp?) or Biden.

[Dereich]

Reason Boehner is speaker and not Cantor: Boehner's face=flat line, emotionless. Cantor's=angry, disgusted.

[Dereich]

After tonight, I''ll put Mitt Romney's odds of getting even 220 EVs at 0%.

Most of America is not going to be fooled by his smooth-talking ways again.

I agree.  Romney's screwed.

It is becoming more and more obivous to people, expect Politico and NHI that Barack Obama is on whole different level then Mitt Romney.

It is like choosing between Tom Brady and Alex Smith.........

The only people this speech will inspire are those whose vote were never really in doubt. To the undecided, this kind of speech does nothing.

[Dereich]

I think Daniels sounded reasonable and measured.
