Re: State of the Union. What was the point? No domestic policy will go anywhere, because Democrats are deep into the "whatever Bush is for, we're against" mode. That is not leadership, but it's the way it is. Roughly 70 percent of the country is against the administration on the war in Iraq, and there won't be any coherent discussion of that because we seem headed for obvious defeat, and the implications are scary. Such a major address shouldn't be irrelevant, but it probably was.
