Final jobs report before the election is much better than expected. That loud bang you heard was Republican heads hitting their desks in unison.

How many times do I have to tell you? I got this!

In the final monthly jobs report before Election Day, the government today said the U.S. unemployment rate for October ticked up to 7.9 percent. 

The Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. economy added 171,000 jobs, stating that the number of unemployed Americans was essentially unchanged in October at 12.3 million. 

Analysts had expected around 125,000 added jobs, according to Bloomberg News. 

 Bronars said October's jobs report was positive despite the unemployment rate increase, because more people resumed looking for work. He called the 171,000 jobs added "solid" and noted there were upward revisions to the reports of the past two months. 

There were also increases in the employment-to-population ratio, at 58.8 percent, and the labor force participation rate, 63.8 percent, after both of the rates had stalled in the summer, he said.

Essentially this was the last hope for the Republicans to have some ammunition to use against the President before election day. With this report being considered by ALL analysts as positive news for the economy, that only leaves the option for Republicans of exaggerating the President's culpability in Benghazi. which is virtually nonexistent, as their last hope of damaging his credibility as Commander-in-Chief.

And considering that he is the man under whose watch Osama Bin Laden was killed, and who most recently has received unanimous praise for his handling of the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, that hardly holds any water with voters.

In other words it appears to me that for Democrats it is clear sailing all the way to election day.

P.S. For some more good news take a peek over at 538 to see that Nate Silver now gives Obama an 80.9 percent chance of winning this election.
