haha man this shit has been downright comical.
Can't wait for all the ridiculous sexism when the first female president is elected.
What did he say? Man, these guys sure do hate America

The milestone numbers make the news. Lots of people will know the rate dropped below 8% now. If it had hit 9% again that would be very visible as well.
Something about if you believe these numbers you are a communist.
This was my dad this morning. He almost threw a rock at my car because I wouldn't let him explain why the numbers were lies.

i wonder if the obama team will start putting out ads (even just web ads) bragging about this number. while the number looks good, many people are still hurting and it may be seen as insulting to them. any ad would have to be very tactically done.
it would definitely change the media narrative away from the debate though. if people on tv are arguing over whether the low unemployment number is accurate or not, it can only be good for obama. that's a conversation the obama camp should love to have, because the focus is on the number and any criticisms of it are too wonky or truther-ish for mainstream americans to connect with.

He admitted they were good, and then admitted he has a small penis.
They'll probably go with the recovery angle- things are getting better, long road ahead, don't let Romney fuck it up. Turns the number into just a milestone of progress.
A hopeful tone would be appropriate.
Show Obama talking to average workers
Voiceover: "While we've seen lots of progress over the last 4 years, there's still lots of work to do. Recovering from the worst economic disaster since the Depression isn't a one-term job. This administration will continue to fight for the middle class."

CNN is super sad right now.
Ali Veshli is trying so damn hard to make the unemployment rate seem meaningless as possible and spin this news as oh hum as much as possible. He completely glossed over the fact that workforce increased...
They are focusing now manufacturing now since that is the only bad number...

Liberal media bias my ass.
It's a choice between slow momentum and doubt. I know what Wall Street usually prefers. Voters are less predictable.
I still see those markets being offered. Damn wish that guy would've been able to get the money in my account by now.
The media just jumped on their opening to get the horse race running again, they aren't going to let those poors getting jobs ruin this!

Does anyone know where Obama's victory speech is gonna be held on election night? It was Chicago last election.
Chickens, hatched. Don't jinx it.
I also approve of this message.

But to Velshi's point, the dude said that the UE rate in and of itself did not matter even when the rate inched to 8.3%, or even 9%. He kept it consistent by saying the UE right now also does not matter. He's right in the sense that the UE rate does not give you the numbers behind the story. But it is a psychological boost for Obama as well as the country as a whole.
Velshi is a smart guy, I won't write him off.

They are back up (With Ohio back at 70s now). It seems someone put a lot of money on Romney before today's jobs numbers

In pictures I didn't think much of this but he clearly does pull paper out of his pocket in that video.

Yeah he does not come off as a partisan guy to me....or even a GOPer to be honest

new We Ask America polls showed Romney taking leads in all three states. They're a volatile Republican-leaning pollster though.
They are allowed to use note cards to write notes during the debate. You need proof of having something written on them before the debate started.
Unless they supply the note cards at the lecterns and are not allowed to use their own.
That says it's posted by an anonymous user but it does look shady

True, he has always been consist on his stance on unemployement rate.
But this is the first I remember him saying his it's a purely political number.
His behavior in reporting these results from the past results is extremely different.
One thing that that struck me is he sad "the unemploemet rate measures different things month, you can't use it to see how the economy is doing from month to month."
Seriously?
The candidates are supplied blank paper to write on which are already at the lecterns.
Their note paper and pen is already at the podium

True, I did just notice that. I think shady is a better way to put it. Technically there could be anything on those notecards, but...it don't look good.

CNN is showing Obama in VA. He's talking about the jobs report right now.
They do supply a pad of paper, actually.
That could be his hankerchief, though. Most people don't put those in their pants pocket of a suit, but it could be.

It's so obvious I have to ask if it's actually against the rules? It doesn't seem like he tries to hide it that much, Obama must clearly have been able to see it too.
As someone else mentioned, though, I don't even know why it would be against the rules--I don't see anything wrong with bringing notes to a debate.

Hmm i saw him use a napkin to wipe his face. Could be that.
Is there a specific rule where you can't bring your own cards to write on?
I'm giving Romney the benefit of doubt on this one.
Hmm, it does maks sense that Mitt would wipe his face with something he keeps on his ass.

Mitt could have been wired for all I care. Obama still lazily let himself be trounced and blindsided by etch-a-position.
