Just heard on CNBC that Friday's jobs number could be big. The gubmint will revise upward the whole years numbers and the est. is around 288k. The excuse is the economy is growing so they didn't know to ask about the new business's hiring and are just now finding out about it.
Friday night, Bush could have some ammo in an economic debate. The revised numbers plus the Sept numbers could cut the job deficit in half.
Time for a prayer...
I have said that they should done this earlier, but its good it will come out before the election.
Amen to that...
We need to hold off cause we heard this stuff before and the #'s fall short so let's pray
I sure hope Bush grows a clue and finds a way to reference the household survey as further proof the economy is growing and as a testimony to the entreprenurial spirit of America.
Dems will claim they were inflated to influence the election or the debate,.
Wait ... for ....it....
Based on provisional corrections already made and the current state of the economy, here are the results to respect: 1) An unemployment rate of 3.4% or lower. (It was 5.6% when Clinton was reelected based on the "strong" economy.) 2) More people will be employed in America than ever before in our history. 3) More people will be employed than on 20 January, 2001, when President Bush took office at the beginning of the shallow Clinton recession.
In short, the official news on employment will pound a wooden stake into the heart of the Kerry lie that "Bush is worse than Hoover." Mark my words, and call me a liar if I miss on any of these three points.

in any event Kerry will be spinning and I just hope they have Bush ready to spin back. He needs to capitalize and not let kerry walk all over him on it...
Does anyone have a link to the government statistics that show the number of employed over the last 5 or so years?
that is an awesome unemployment number if right. any guess on the jobs # for Friday?
John Kerry says he can do a better job than President Bush. Oh really?
What is Kerry’s record over his 20 years in the Senate?
• Kerry voted against most of the major weapons systems that our troops use today.
• Kerry voted against the $87 billion for support of the troops, after he voted for it.
• Kerry led the fight against President Bush's Department Of Homeland Security, voting against it six times and delaying it for 112 days.
• Kerry missed more than 75% of the meetings of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
• Kerry proposed slashing the intelligence budget by $7.5 billion after the first attack on the World Trade Center.
• Kerry has voted at least 350 times for higher taxes.
• Kerry has been able to persuade congress to pass only eight insignificant laws that bear his name, and most of those were strictly ceremonial.
Kerry can do a better job than President Bush? Oh really?
Hope so. We'll have to wait for the numbers.
Is it possible the hurricanes will distort the numbers?
Anyone else ever hear such a category before?
Is it possible to go from 5.4% to 3.4% in one month?!
>>>There is no "job deficit". There are more people employed today (many millions) than when Bush took office.
As of the August data there were 1.89 million more employed than in January 2001.
However, there were also 2.03 million more unemployed than in January 2001.
Expect Dems to state the jobs being created pay a fraction of what jobs lost were paying...
