Washington Gov. Gary Locke, chairman of the Democratic Governors' Association, will deliver his party's formal response tonight. Senate Minority Leader Thomas A. Daschle (D-S.D.) and his House counterpart, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), provided what was billed as a "prebuttal" on Monday, with each of them using the phrase "credibility gap" to accuse Bush of failing to follow through on promises. Daschle said, "The state of our union today is anxious."

A stunning masterful rebuke

Fleischer harshly attacked the Democrats' advance criticism. "The day before the State of the Union is a time for both parties to lend an ear. It's not a time for one party to turn its back," Fleischer said. "Those remarks were disappointing, because they represented a party that's turned its back instead of lending an ear."
