Watch Perry's State of the State address (updated)

Gov. Rick Perry will deliver his catchy-titled State of the State address in a joint session of the House and Senate today.

Less than a year ago, people assumed this speech would be from a lame-duck governor overseeing his last session. Now he's in a bare-knuckle primary fight against a popular US Senator. (And only one Democrat planning to run against the winner so far. Hello, Democrats? You keep saying this guy isn't one of yours. If so, where's your real candidate?)

You can watch the speech live on the Texas House web site here.

Perry is also streaming it live at his Texans for Rick Perry campaign site, RickPerry.org. (Perry's campaign staff will be live blogging the speech too.)

UPDATE: You can read our report here or the full text of the speech here. To watch the video, click here and skip to the 1 hour 40 minute mark.

And Democratic Rep. Garnett Coleman has filmed a YouTube response to Perry's address.

We can all thank Perry for encouraging congress to pass the bailout that we all wanted killed. We can all thank Hutchison for reviving and passing the bailout bill that we all wanted killed. Go look at a DOW chart and look at the past 6 months, you can see exactly when the bailout was passed. Why would we want either one of these two people back in office? I am a life long Republican and if Friedman runs as a democrat that's where my vote will go!
