Joe and I are live blogging in the box below – the page updates automatically as soon as we add a new comment, so just leave the page open and read :-) What do you think about Obama’s address? Leave your comment by clicking here and scroll down. You can also submit a question, or your thoughts, to us via the live-blog box below – your comment won’t be posted live, we’ll receive it privately, but if we like it we can post it in the chat (we have to do it this way, with so many readers the live chat would be out of control, and unreadable, if everyone had live access). Thanks.

We’ll be posting a few polls and other things during the speech, which starts at 9pm Eastern, and will probably go around 45 minutes. And finally, you can watch the speech live in the box right below the chat, again below, starting at 9.
