"This is a test of the Washington press corps. This is not a
test for bloggers, or snarky opinion columnists or liberals on TV,
who talk about this stuff all the time. This is a test for
straight-up, report-the-facts Beltway reporters, charged with the
responsibility of conveying the importance of what the candidates
say and do. Mitt Romney says he wants to be held to a 6 percent
unemployment rate, but if Obama is at 4 percent that's a failure.
This is a test, this is only a test. If there were a real national
investment in the rigor of Beltway reporting, your job would be on
the line if you didn't get this right." --
