I'm not a fan of his, but occasionally Dick Morris can make some good points. In this column, Morris makes the interesting argument that, unlike Clinton in 1996, Bush's State of Union Speech this year was a complete disaster because it didn't 1) help his approval rating or 2) help him in his match-up with Kerry. By contrast, Morris cites the bump that Clinton got in 1996 that pushed him ahead of Dole to stay. Morris' conclusion is this:

Bush’s failure to convert his last State of the Union speech of his first term into points on the board must rank as one of the great failures of recent American politics.

Maybe a bit overstated, but the point is well taken...
