This is getting interesting. The economic numbers are good and getting better, some are fantastically good. The Democrats and their media echo chamber continue to report that the ecomnomy is, as Billy Crystal put it last night, "in the tank". At what point does the media change the story for fear of being humiliated by being so wrong? And if they change the story how do they do it so they don't look stupid? The Democrats and the echo chamber, for political reasons, have to keep the current story line going until Nov. But that's a long time to surpress the truth when good news keeps happening all the time.
So far they've put all their bets on the payroll employment numbers, which is about the only stat that's been negative. Common sense tells you that if all the economic numbers except one are good, the exception is just incorrect.
The other negative economic fact the media is echoing is the loss of manufacturing jobs. This, of course, has been happening since the 70's and will continue regardless of who is President. Manufacturing job losses, like the homeless, seem destined to be discovered only during Republican administrations.
Any predictions on how the media/D's get out of this one?

its not the loss of manufacturing jobs, its the white collar/tech/big company offshoring that is the biggest factor on job loss and job fears.
