Maybe I am optimistic (odd since I am usually a doom and gloomer) but I don’t think this will impact much. The BAD numbers didn’t really help Mitt last time. I don’t see this hurting Mitt much, maybe a point. The thing is, the electorate is so polarized this year and after that debate, I do not see independents suddenly buying into the “economy is roaring back” meme.
Check out the news sites. The comment fields are filled with widespread skepticism of these numbers. I can’t believe everyone posting that is a raging conservative.

I watched an interview with a CEO of some restaurant chains who has unemployed attorneys waiting tables. I doubt if they’re impressed with this alleged “recovery”.

In July, 181,000 jobs were added: 8.3% unemployment
In August, 142,000 jobs were added: 8.1% unemployment
September, 114,000 jobs were added: 7.8% unemployment.
Yeah, right! Anything to get re-elected!

Manipulate the numbers all you want dems. The fact of the matter is that having multiple part-time jobs (lack of benefits)is not the same as full-time employment.
Americans are hurting, and no statistical “tweaking” is gonna to make us feel any different.
R & R landslide coming on November 6th...

How about pounding on the stimulus plan predictions - we were promised by now to be at, what, 5% or so?
Pound and pound on Obama’s OWN false promises!!

we were promised by now to be at, what, 5% or so? And at a cost of over 800 billion.

I disagree. I think it will be a major boost for O among the undecided/independents....especially the majority of them who don’t really know other offsetting numbers that betray/reveal the real picture.
And the Libs and their media whores will be shouting this from the rooftops....all the way to the next O/R debate.
In which, I fully expect O to come back with a vengence - after all, the format favors him greatly. The last format clearly favored Romney, and showed O’s greatest weakness.

I disagree. I agree with those who say the edge goes to the people who know firsthand what the economy is really like. This isn’t just people spouting words. This is a real, sick economy and people are being hurt by it...have been for years and still are. And we are producing fewer jobs now than we were back when O and Biden and their drones...as Levin calls them...were touting a “recovery”. Each month lately the jobs created are shrinking. People know it because they see it, feel it, live it.

As Obama said the day after the debates that " that was not the real Mitt Romney that showed up last night at the debates " .......
It's good to see that Romney, his team, our side is starting to learn how to SPIN SPIN SPIN SPIN whatever the other said says... and it's effective......
Mitt Romney " Mr. President ? when will the real economic recovery show up ? " .... or ? " is that's not a real economic recovery, that's a fake one " .....

" Time to show the clips of Pelosi slamming Bush for 300k new jobs. 114k new jobs is pitiful. "
Sounds like a " FUZZY MATH with the employment numbers " political TV ad in the making....
To: TMA62
7.8 % cooking the books will overshadow the 47 % lie that the MSM try to label Romney with...
The 7.8 % unemployment lie is a surprise gift for Romney.....
If the 7.8 % is true ? then ? that 47 % would be lower ? right ?
HEY DEMOCRATS ? MSM ? IF the 7.8 % is true ? then ? the 47 % of Americans dependent on welfare, food stamps would be lower.... OPPS ! can't have that now ? can't you ?
To: kristinn
DEMOCRATS ?
LIBERALS ?
MAIN STREAM MEDIA ?
SIMPLE ECONOMICS MATH.....
IF THE 7.8% IS TRUE ? THEN THE 47% WOULD BE LOWER !!! IT WOULD BE 44 % DEPENDENTS.
To: kristinn
Romney is right, he has to back tract on his 47% statement, because, since we are using LIBERAL LOGIC ... Romney can now say, it’s 44 % of dependents.... SPIN SPIN SPIN....
To: txrangerette
Truly hope you are right and I am wrong....
