Alright. I can speak to the Tim Kaine eyebrow thing. Just talked to a friend of mine in VA who spent more time with him on the campaign trail than I did (seeing as I was in NJ/MN). He apparently does that whenever he's nervous, but that's the worst it's been. Hey. He's definitely a more compelling speaker than that most of the time. I could tell he was nervous. Just didn't know the eyebrow thing was part of that.
As for the whole SOTU... three years from now he'll have been out of office for eleven days. Let's just focus on that, folks.
Overall, I thought the SoU was pretty standard Bush stuff. He spent the first 3/4 of his speech talking about bringing liberty to others in the world, and then remembered that he is President of the United States and was elected to help solve the problems of this country. Tim Kaine, in his okay response however did just the opposite; showing that Democrats understand that serious issues face this country’s domestic future as well as foreign threats.
