Here's Herman Cain's Teabaggy response to the SotU:

Mitch Daniels's standard Republican response to the SotU, which inspired Republican commentators to lament his Galt-like strike from presidential politics and/or imagine him as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the battle against Obama's Darth Vader, is after the jump, along with some thoughts on the chasm between these two speeches:

I don't know if it's possible to reconcile these two views into a single party. Daniels, despite his obvious charisma issues, is at least making an attempt to be substantive. But he belongs to the Bush Republicans, and so he's tainted by Big Republican Government Values. Herman Cain speaks for a shrinking but vocal minority of Republicans who want to burn the whole bitch down and start over again from the Constitution, somehow. I don't think the people who consider Cain to be speaking for them will be willing to bother voting for someone like Daniels. This is still a real problem for the Republican Party, and I don't see any organizational effort on the party's behalf to bring these two speeches together into one vision.
