Sorry folks, didn't mean to go on a rant. But I stand by what I said.
I don't think I'm spinning a fairy tale when we have Mitch McConnell on record saying "Our number one goal is to make Barack Obama a one term president." Or when the Republican House refuses to raise the debt ceiling, full well knowing the implications, after doing it several times under President Bush. But that's old news.
Anyway, no jobs number will be a true game changer unless its over 250K or under 50K. Tomorrow's report will likely not change the game that much, but could be a net positive for Obama if its close to ADPs numbers. A strong number will certainly give credence to Obama's speech tonight and poke some holes in Romney's message. But basically we're at the point where there aren't likely to be many true game changers. The perception of the economy is baked into the cake.
Well, I think there are some problems with your argument.
1. Lief would have to be a Republican.
2. I will be happy it the economy improves now. I will be happy if the economy doesn't improve now, because I think at least one person
should be unemployed to get a real recovery; bad numbers will help that.
I think tomorrow's numbers will be key, politically. They might be good. They might be bad. I don't know.
