And history has also shown that no President has been re-elected with the jobless claims above 8%. Even the rosiest of predictions only has it down to 8.5% by election day. So I guess there are some of these factors on our side as well. Actually, I would say the jobless rate is a much better barometer than a liberal historian.
Normally I would agree with that. But throw in the guaranteed Black vote and the unemployment number may not be as strong an indicator as in the past. And if they can crank out 100% plus turnout in those areas, the Republican candidate will have to have at least a 5-6% lead going into election day. There is only so much fraud the Dems can carry out without raising red flags to even the most dense.
