CBO study: 600,000 to 1.6m jobs saved or created by Stimulus Bill

This is big news. The Democrats need to do far more than just send it around to the blogs. The American people need to know that the stimulus bill helped, that it mattered, that it worked. I watched one of the late-night guys make a joke about how the stimulus created zero jobs the other night. The misinformation is out there. It needs to be corrected. And it doesn't get corrected by simply getting a single good story and hoping it sticks in people's minds. Think Republican. (Of course, the administration did produce a report detailing how many jobs were saved/created in each state, and they screwed it up royally, with some pretty huge mistakes. That didn't help. Someone has to charge of this issue and run a mini-campaign to sell it, again, to the American people. Otherwise, I fear the anti-stimulus feeling will impact any jobs bill, and every other piece of Democratic legislation ("we spend too much on that wasteful stimulus, let's not pass any other 'big' bills until the economy settles down").
