TPM SOTU Liveblog

Josh does it better than I.
9:54 PM: Nelson and Lieberman sitting together in axis of weasels.

Okay, Bob McDonald, the Gov of Virginia will take 10 minutes.
---Jobs are good
--policies to
no more taxation, regulation and litigation
--fed govt trying to do too much
---blames Dems for deficit and debt and no jobs increase--limit govt at every level
---(why is that woman smiling, she must have a good job)
---we want results, not rhetoric (such as I'm giving you now)
---health care---turn over "the best health care system in the world" to the fed govt
R's state lines, lawsuits crap---1,000 page bills that no one has
solutions.gop.gov--yeah right
---use all natural resources---Obama got him on that---rewind, repeat
("here in Virginia" who gives a f?)
---Obama already addressed the energy jobs and innovation---
--education---good education is good, "the president and I agree" lots of sound bites here
---all americans agree that we must maintain a strong natl defense---oldest daughter was army platoon leader in Iraq--thank the troops, thank the troops
---applaud Afghan decision---but serious concerns re: suspected terrorists---crotchboy same legal rights as U.S. citzen and immediately stopped cooperating?
(we say he sang like the Three Tenors)
---overregulation is bad---sound bite, sound bite, sound bite
---guy speaks like a well-rehearsed five year old, which is better than Bobby did last year
---Scripture quote---Haiti, Haiti, Haiti
insipid, insipid, insipid
---"some people say"---govt role to protect and expnd opportunity---yeah, reduce the size of government---
----we should pledge to work together---
God Bless---Obama said that, too
not really a response, but a watered down

Shields--mentioning Thomas Jefferson in Va tradition of "ancestor worship"--both a national speech and a local speech as these things go it probably worked better than most
Brooks--
