Freedom and the unemployment rate, the true one not the Obama magical mystical number, are intertwined anyway. Economic freedom certainly, but the other sorts as well.
But even CBS allowed Santorum to clarify:
""Of course I care about the unemployment rate. I want the unemployment rate to go down, but I'm saying, my candidacy doesn't hinge on whether the unemployment rate goes up and down," he said. "Our candidacy's about something that transcends that; its about freedom, its not about, you know, Governor Romney's idea that he's going to fix the economy which is something that, of course, we as Republicans don't believe that presidents fix the economy; we believe that we try to do things to create an atmosphere for the economy to fix itself."
Sounds right to me. I'm sure Newt would agree with that statement... Romney?? What week is it?
