As David posted earlier in the day, he'll be "live" blogging tonight's speech. As soon as he clears NBC News air, around 9:02 p.m. ET, he'll head back inside the White House and watch the speech. While watching, he'll file dispatches to me. He says to expect a "stream of consciousness" approach and encourages you to use the "Discuss" link below each post to share comments. If you have relevant questions, I'll certainly pass them along.

I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that our friends at MSNBC-TV's "Hardball" are doing something similar. You can read dispatches from Tucker Carlson, Joe Scarborough and MSNBC.com's Tom Curry in "Hardblogger." Just click here.
