After the debate debacle for Obama, we’ll find out if we have a race

The establishment's Jeff Greenfield has the party line for the masses:
If this debate—as one-sided as any I have ever seen—does not change the landscape, if Obama retains a small but measurable lead, it means that the election is more or less over (barring some overwhelmingly consequential event), that voters have decided they are going to stick with the President. That is thin gruel on which the Obama campaign must dine for the next few days; but after this debacle, it’s the only sustenance on the menu.
Sorry Jeff but there's an unemployment number out Friday morning which may suggest the economy is getting worse: to the point of another official recession.
