Open Thread: Should Both Parties Sit Together During State of the Union?

January 17th, 2011 10:06 AM

For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: should both parties sit together during the upcoming State of the Union?

Would this be a marvelous gesture of bipartisanship when the country appears to want it or give the false impression Republicans agree with the President's agenda? Would Democrats have ever agreed to such a thing when George W. Bush was President?
