Hillary and Florida
Like many I wish the Democratic Party could have found a way to let the votes of the people of Michigan and Florida be counted. Unfortunately the rules were the rules, all the candidates agreed to them, and - for the most part - have stuck by them.
So what exactly is Hillary doing by going to Florida to declare victory, pushing her way into whatever is the big Republican story tonight? Somehow given the events of the last few weeks this move just feels wrongly timed. Too many questions are being raised about the Clinton's integrity, their willingness to do whatever it takes to win, even sacrificing long held values and beliefs in the process.
Having worked on the New Hampshire primary and in the War Room in 1992 for the Clintons, I was present at the creation of the famous "rapid response" campaign style and fierce fighting spirit of the Clinton era. In the very first meeting of the War Room James Carville warned us "that if you don't like to eat sh-- everyday you shouldn't be in politics." So I understand as well as anyone that this is a tough game, not for the faint of heart.
But there is a line in politics where tough and determined becomes craven and narcissistic, where advocacy becomes spin, and where integrity and principle are lost. I am concerned that this Florida gambit by the Clinton campaign is once again putting two of my political heroes too close - or perhaps over - that line. So that even if they win this incredible battle with Barack Obama they will end up doing so in a way that will make it hard for them to bring the Party back together, and to lead the nation to a new and better day.
Wed Update: In Wednesday's Washington Post, Dana Milbank effectively captures the absurdity of the Clinton campaign's declaration of victory last night.

The unemployment rate
The economy has lost more than 2.5 million jobs in the current
recession, which began in December 2007, far surpassing the previous
two recessions, and just below the 2.7 million jobs lost in the
1981-1982 recession, which had the deepest unemployment in the 70-year
history of the report. payday loans - <a href="http://www.unclepayday.ca">payday loan</a>
The unemployment rate
“Recessions tend to eliminate the less efficient firms in an
industry,” O’Connor said. “This might be thought of as one of the
benefits of a recession.”
While certain businesses are failing,
others are thriving. Some examples include: payday loan businesses,
debt collectors and financial counselors, psychologists and firms that
cater to the “do-it-yourself” market, he said.
However, nonresidential construction may start to improve because of stimulus spending.
His advice to those who are near retirement age: “Keep working and keep saving,” he said.

Michigan's Unemployment Rate...........
The unemployment rate is the number in the civilian labor force divide by the number of unemployed. The Bureau of Labor Statistics defines unemployment as people who do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the past four weeks, and are currently available for work. It also includes people who were temporarily laid off and are waiting to be called back to that job. Michigan was the first to see unemployment over 10%, and now there are three more: Rhode Island, South Carolina, and California. Lots of people are seeking personal loans or government assistance for help during these trying times. Michigan has been especially hard hit since the downturn and decline of the automotive industry over the last few years. Economists predict that there will be a bottoming out in fall of 2009, where we will presumably see a stabilizing of the unemployment rate.
