“Unemployment Continued to Fall in October.
The jobless rate dropped to 6 percent as payrolls grew by 126,000 last
month, significantly more than the 50,000 new jobs that economists had
predicted. By The Associated Press.” [New York Times: NYT HomePage]

So, despite his best efforts, Dubya now has real positive economic
numbers to brag about.  Sure, some of this is seasonal (retailers
are gearing up for Christmas early this year, etc.).  Sure,
hundreds of thousands–perhaps millions–of people have dropped off the
unemployment radar by becoming self-employed or underemployed, or by
giving up entirely on the job search for now.  But statistics, as
decieving as they can be, tend to be pointing toward a strengthening
recovery.

Now. just watch–there will be a major military victory in October of
next year.  And all will be forgiven by the American people. 

The Dems need a new point of leverage on Bush.
