That's got to throw one hell of a monkey wrench into Republican campaign plans. And as I suspected, Fox found a way to put a negative spin on it:

"Though it appears encouraging that the November jobless rate dipped to its lowest level since March 2009, those numbers come with a caveat: nearly three times as many Americans stopped looking for work as found it."

Yeah, they're going to spin it. But politics = spin.

Those reports won't mean anything anyway. Because while I agree that the economy will be a determining factor in the 2012 election, I think people will judge the economy for themselves by the size of their own bank accounts, not by what's being reported in the papers.
