brianna keilar live from the white house.e of the union speech before the election year. what are the kinds of things that the president is going to need to say to win over the independent voters or even maybe people who are on the fence now, undecided? >> reporter: you know, one of the big things that he's going to be pressing, suzanne, is this idea of fairness. and we've heard him talk about this now for months. the idea that americans should have a fair shot, a chance to be in the middle class, and basically pursue the american dream, and his vision that the government can serve a role in that. and also, that americans should pay their fair share. this is key. this is something that has polled very well. democrats feel like they have sort of a winning strategy in this. expect president obama to push for the expiration of bush tax cuts for the wealthy and also to be pushing for tax reform, done in a way so that wealthier americans pay more. that sort of goes to his idea of paying the fair share, as something he was trying t
