It's not the wind, it's the sound of republicans moaning in despair.

But I think to the average set of voters' ears, a decrease in the unemployment rate is the most important thing.

Only 96,000 jobs added, below expectations. And lost 40,000 in revisions. All per Ezra Klein tweets.

Is it enough? No, more jobs are needed. Nothing will happen on that front with Mitt Romney in the White House.

So, I will take any good news!
