We’ll watch the speech (with running commentary, of course), yak with the experts, live blog, and savor this very, very special moment.<br /><br />WHAT: SOTU Party hosted by Cenk Uygur and Christy Harvey<br /> WHEN: 5pm PT/8pm ET<br />WHERE: <a href="../network">http://bravenewfilms.org/network</a> </p><p>And our illustrious guest list, before the speech:</p> <ul><li>Sam Stein from The Huffington Post</li><li>Eric Boehlert from Media Matters for America</li><li>Newsweek’s Eleanor Clift</li></ul> <p>Following the speech:</p> <ul><li>Syndicated columnist David Sirota</li><li>Andrea Batista Schlesinger from the Drum Major Institute</li><li>Anti-war activist Tom Hayden</li><li>AmericaBlog’s AJ Rossmiller <br /></li></ul> <p>We're partnering with the Drum Major Institute tonight because they’re the go-to think tank when it comes to defending against the Bush administration's attacks on the middle class. After the speech, DMI policy wonks will be burning the midnight oil, putting together a bulletproof response to Bush's soak-the-rich domestic agenda. That report will be posted at <a href="http://drummajorinstitute.org/">drummajorinstitute.org</a> a few hours after the speech ends.</p></p>
