For the more blatantly partisan coverage, check out full coverage listings for MSNBC, Fox News, or, for you serious folks out there, CSPAN.

Hope you find the coverage that you enjoy the most! I personally enjoy NBC's coverage of the State of the Union – especially given their two guests Senator Gillenbrand and Governor Jindal, both major party players in the coming decade.
