A reason why the jobs number might not matter.

[liberal72]

Now if for the next three to four months the job numbers continue, than forget it. However, if you remember several months ago the news was that the GDP grew by over 8%. Neocons creamed their pants with joy, but the numbers fell back down. While I am glad that more people received jobs in March, it still doesn't make up for the jobs already lost. Also, I heard that many of the new jobs were part-time, if anybody has a link to this story, please post.

2. There are over 10 millionpeople out of work.

The Money jobs are outsourced anbd they will not be coming back in time to save Bush's ass.

It would take 5 years of 300,000 jbos a month to make Bush come ahead.
Also,these are still relatively low-paying service industry jobs.

This is NOT going to save Bush. the numbers will probably be revised downward in one or two weeks.

3. If bush gets lucky...

and the economy creates 300,000 jobs a month for the next 7 months for a total of 2.1 million, he will get 400 electoral votes and we are fucked!!!!
