bill kristol of "weekly standard." kirsten powers for daily beast. and syndicated columnist charles krauthammer. charles? >> these are the numbers you get when you have a stagnant economy. stagnant unemployment. if you keep up with the numbers of jobs added, barely enough to keep up with the increase in population. unemployment takes up. people's perception of the economy have been fixed. unchanged for at least six months. so i think it has zero effect on the economy. on the election, i mean. in terms of the people who vote on the economy. so i think it's probably a wash. i think obama is lucky it came in under 8%. technically under 8%. he can talk about the increase in jobs since, you know, the last eight months, ridiculous number. romney case is the same in the past. no effect. >> bret: kirsten?
