Speaker Paul D. Ryan is polling Twitter on the color of his tie for Tuesday night.

This State of the Union is Ryan’s first as speaker, so the first time he will be sitting behind President Barack Obama and the first time the cameras will have him in most every shot.

Tomorrow will be my first #SOTU on the rostrum. What color tie should I wear?
