Well, not so fast, my friends.

Revisions to the way payroll data firm ADP counts private sector job creation have resulted in a sharp drop in the September employment count.
ADP's new calculations put the monthly job creation at just 88,200, down from the 162,000 the firm originally reported earlier this month.
Thank you, President Obama.

Looks like you'll get to thank President Obama for another 48 months with Romney's short fallen rally being washed away on the Jersey shores these days.

Wonder if the Labor Department's "revisions" to July and August that came out at last month's report will come under any additional scrutiny? Methinks not.

Yeah. Obama is running new ads in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Minnesota. His internal poll numbers must look like shit. He would be spending that money in Ohio, Florida and Virginia if he thought he had a prayer.

If Obama wins it will only be becauase the election isn't a month later. The wheels have come off his wagon.

I wish one of the resident Donks would make a compelling case for casting a vote for the incumbent.

I'm voting Johnson - he's the best choice. Again, you elected a community organizer who could read a good speech with virtually no experience in '08. He's escalated a war in Afghanistan, delivered a partial term healthcare bill, kept Gitmo open, and hasn't repealed the Patriot Act. But he's better than Romney in your eyes, so that's what matters.
But he got Bin Laden.

He did cut the deficit in half and closed Gitmo as promised.
Oh wait…

No, no youngins, I have not elected anybody, nor does any vote in my state count, unless you vote a straight republican ticket, so in effect, I have already been counted as a Romney electorate member.
Any vote for a third party candidate is as useless as my vote here for Obama, a complete waste of time for you and the folks that tally the vote, and a real Superhornet type move BTW.

You (and the media) are putting too much hope in a twisted vision that a guy who has endorsed and campaigned for Romney is going to somehow miraculously help get Obama reelected.

Well, all you Romney knob slobber bobbers can keep your hopes and dreams alive for another..5 1/2 days,
we know he was not your top choice, lol, but surely he will be better, McCain would have been better, Palin would have been better, George Bush would have been much better, George Bush's retarded son would have been better, Dick Nixon would have been better, Bob E.D. Dole would have been better, than this...this....this..community organizer from Kenya who is posing as a Democrat and is happily spending all your tax dollars on stuff for black people..
I'm sure everything will be alright boys, you seem to have all the best answers, and everybody that is undecided will surely see it your way, as soon as they all read these threads, and maybe that does include Christie, but I actually suspect he will vote for Obama..

I don't know why you lefties keep repeating that mantra. It just isn't true. Profit margins have been falling for more than a year.

You're about as dumb as every other SIU-C grad I've met. What's the point of going to college if you're going to go to school there?
