Gingrich on Jobs Data: I Havent Seen Them Yet
By Danny Yadron
LAS VEGAS At least one Republican presidential candidate is not trying to frame Fridays better-than-expected unemployment report as a failure of President Barack Obama.
When reporters here asked Newt Gingrich for comment on the jobs numbers as he shook hands with voters at a mostly empty saloon, the former House speaker replied, No, I havent seen them yet.
