A Thought to a Post

I’ve got a post I’ve been working on for a couple days about the as-yet-unexplained boost in economic optimism over the last month which seems to be swelling President Obama’s numbers. Big question in my mind: is there something happening in the real economy that we’re not seeing yet in the hard numbers (this has happened before) or is growing enthusiasm for Obama actually driving (or perhaps better to say, partisanizing) data about the economy?

I’ll try to have the post up some time tonight — of course, with special cool charts.
