Do you think it would be a good political move for Romney to now propose that the GOP pass a short extension of emergency unemployment of 3 to 6 months to get that expiration date out of the lame duck period?

This will send a message that the jobs situation in the US is still very bad.

That’s interesting. It would certainly show strength against some of the perceived weakensses - namely that Romney has a heart, cares about the 47% and is willing to make some moves to shore up personal situations. But, it would add to the debt so I would support it as a political move if it was offset by some very small spending cuts.
