Tonight we will cover Obama’s address to Congress, and the Republican response from the almost-as-handsome-as-Scott-Brown Bob McDonnell, Gov. of Virginia. We will carry both speeches live.

Can Obama recapture the hearts and minds of his once-rock-solid Democratic base? Will it be “Yes We Can!” or “Domestic Spending Freezes, Wars, and No Health Care Reform?” In order to stop his poll numbers from rapidly circling the drain, he’ll have to prove he’s aware of their disappointments and concerns, and has not abandoned the core policies, the promised change, that drove voters to elect him in the first place.

Unlike recent “bang-bang, shoot ‘em up, 9-11,9-11,9-11, terrorism, evildoers, let’s roll” State of the Union addresses delivered by Dubya,we’ll hear a campaign-style speech targeted at the growing population of populist Independent voters. Perhaps the greatest “change” we’ll hear from previous years is perfect grammar and complete sentences.
