Yes, to the tune of 6.1%. How do McCain and Obama react?
Real Clear Politics reports that both wasted no time in “blasting out statements.” Here’s a taste, but read the whole article.
Obama:
…Today’s jobs report is a reminder of what’s at stake in this election ‘ John McCain showed last night that he is intent on continuing …

Earlier in February we at Election Stocks covered the FDA’s regulation of the tobacco market and considered whether or not it would be beneficial to tobacco companies. Now Christopher Atayan from TheStreet.com writes in correspondence with our own Jeff Miller:

No, it’s not Pawlenty. It’s not Romney or Lieberman either. It’s Sarah Palin, first-term gov of Alaska.
Palin is a social conservative, opposed to abortion, opposed to same-sex marriage, and pro-gun. Alaska loves her.
She ran for gov on a clean-up-government campaign, and doesn’t suffer fools or oil companies gladly.

Bill Clinton gave a speech tonight at the Democratic Convention that every Dem hoped for. He praised Obama. He said this man can lead us. He said many things Hillary could not say including that Obama is ready to lead America and restore America’s standing in the world.

We were worried that we would not see Hillary at her finest promoting Obama at the convention. Boy, were we wrong about that! She looked great, and spoke even better.
As NYT, Michael A. Cohen observed, first and foremost she knew her audience and spoke directly to them. Her message was clear. Obama is …

Obama was interviewed by ESPN’s Stuart Scott
Among other things, he is an unashamed White Sox fan.
Scott: “If the Cubs and the White Sox both make it to the World Series?
Obama: “I would be going.”
Scott: “Who would you root for?
Obama: “Oh, that’s easy. White Sox. I’m …

Which Hillary will we get? Sure she knows exactly what she should say, but will we see the perfectly dressed and coifed former Presidential candidate? Or will we see the Hillary that seems to have forgotten the number of her hairdresser, and the location of her hair spray and make-up mirror?

I just received the official text message from Barack Obama confirming Biden as his VP. An awfully strange time to send it out, of course, but you heard it first from Election Stocks.
To give you an insight on the Obama camp’s VP choice, here’s the case for Joe Biden.
