Who Gets Your Vote?

Set against a backdrop of Republican infighting, President Obama delivered his State of the Union address tonight. But who gets your vote?

President Obama is scheduled to deliver his State of the Union address beginning at 6 p.m. Pacific Time tonight. According to news reports out of Washington, during his address the president is expected to push for higher taxes on the wealthy, as well as offer strategies on how to fix the housing crisis, spur job growth, restore the middle class, and make college more affordable.

The president will have a window of time to pitch the nation on why he should get another four years.

The address comes as Republican presidential contender Mitt Romney gets set to release his much-anticipated tax returns, which should add to the already red-hot infighting among the GOP four who are still standing in the race for the White House.
