The Dems are incredibly vulnerable on jobs, IF the voters can be educated, which is very doubtful. Note that the headline unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 to 8.1 while only 96k jobs were created and the rear-looking reductions were horrible. Most important, the labor participation rate fell from 63.7% to 63.5%, the worst since 1982, IOW worst in 30 years. No wonder the Dems planned their convention to end yesterday. The unemployment numbers would have been a trd in their punch bowl. The jobs data is certainly a target rich environment. There is opportunity with democrat strongholds especially minorities and union workers. Unions backed the keystone pipeline and coal miners are also disgruntled. Romney needs to articulate that he will "unchain" the economy. It is time to flush that trd and that's not really a punch bowl (although the dog may think so)...
