going back into the 70's, jobs are typically not added in the first year of a recovery...so don't expect the job loses to come to an end before June 2010....
This is why I say the GOP will pick up 25+ House seats and 5+ Senate seats - the average american is not going to be better off in Nov 2010 even though the government: spends a lot more, borrows a lot more, and controls a much bigger slice of the economy.
I think the disenchantment with the GOP is too strong for that scenario. As long as you continue to nominate Michele Bachmann and have Rush Limbaugh as your voice, forget it. I think people are still blaming the economy more on Bush at this point.
