Unemployment falls to 3-year low of 8.5% as 200,000 jobs added
This was the very good economic news out today. I hope we can keep sustaining this pace, if so, I don't see how the GOP can possibly win. Obama could argue that he inherited a mess, that we were on the brink of a depression and his policies turned that around, and while it took time to get the recovery rolling it is now in full bloom and we cannot return to the policies (any GOP nominee) of the Bush years!!
