Redstate's Erick Erickson throws fellow conservatives under a bus on jobs numbers

Erickson: Not ‘Helpful’ To GOP To Say Jobs Numbers And Polls Are Cooked

Conservative blogger Erick Erickson dissented from the accusations by some on the right that Friday's positive jobs report was rigged to help President Obama's re-election:

@EWErickson

I don't think it is helpful or healthy for GOP to argument both polling and jobs numbers are cooked.

Only their interpretation can be correct.
