State of the Union Responses Announced

The Hill reports that Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels (R) will give the official Republican response to President Obama's upcoming State of the Union address, and Herman Cain will deliver the Tea Party Express response.

The choices for speakers demonstrates the continued divide between the Republican establishment, which chose a relatively moderate governor with ties to the George W. Bush administration, and the Tea Party movement, which selected a businessman who has never held elected office and ran for president as an outsider.

1. That's "special."

It won't really be a response but a reading of GOP talking points with a few "red meat" phrases inserted.

2. I suppose that CNN will cover both GOP responses.

3. Why not have somebody from OWS if the tea party is getting to speak?
