Unexpected jump in consumer sentiment coincides with polls showing Obama could lose. U.S. consumer sentiment unexpectedly rose to its highest level in five years in October. Economists are dumbfounded, there’s no economic explanation for it. May be a political one: “The unexpected bounce in consumer sentiment coincides with aftermath of the October 3 debate, after which Romney has soared in the polls.” Works for us.

That really is very amusing....
Everything's unexpected with these putzes. Unexpected lower number for job growth this quarter...Unexpected higher number of people filing for worker's comp...unexpected high amount of unicorn fart gas in the Offal Office...
Romney must have found another loophole to cancel more votes with.
Who let the troll out?
He really is very one-dimensional isn't he? Sad, isn't it? This is what happens when your mom lets you play (with yourself) alone and unsupervised in the basement all day long!
TD.........MO.
Who let the troll out?
His mommy did, he promised he would look for a job.......he lied.

It's the president, stupid. Or maybe the stupid president.
I don't see why it's unexpected if you look at it as coinciding with the flaccid debate performance from Dear Leader.
