State of the Union

[yesthattom]

So, people keep asking me when the Democrats are going to get their rhetoric right. Plus, I am always cringing at the SoTU Democratic response sounding like it was written by the guy that translates camera instructions into English. Well, dear friends, tonights Dem response was exceptionally good. It could easily have been the acceptance speech from the 2008 Democratic convention. It hit all the major issues and was clear and personal.

I believe that you can watch the response here. But I'm not sure since I don't have my 'puter configured correctly right now.

I wasn't impressed, either. But Kaine's actually an incredible orator in comparison to Jerry Kilgore, who he defeated in November. But that's not saying much -- even Duhbya looks good in comparison to Kilgore. My theory is that the DNC wanted to bump up former governor and party rising star Mark Warner (Kaine was Warner's LG), but not be TOO obvious about it.
