Hotsheet Live: Who has the edge in Florida?

CBS News' Christine Delargy was joined Friday on Hotsheet Live by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, National Journal editor Matt Cooper and Loop21.com's Keli Goff to recap President Obama's State of the Union address and Thursday's Republican debate.

Knoller said Mr. Obama used Tuesday's State of the Union address to lay out, not only his presidential policy agenda, but also his political agenda - a strategy designed specifically to help him win re-election.

Cooper said he was surprised by Mitt Romney's aggressiveness in Thursday's debate, which he credited to from the former governor's "anger boiling"-- stemming from Monday's debate in Tampa.

While Romney was more aggressive, Goff said he stopped short of being defensive.

"Last night he seemed defiant, not quite defensive," Goff said. "I think that's what people are looking for in a leader."

Watch the entire discussion - including the panel's prediction for Tuesday's Florida primary - in the video above.
