8.1% โ€“ 47% โ€“ 46.2 million

Do you know what these numbers are?ย  Not football signals, yet a coded way, of sorts, to watch tonightโ€™s Presidential debate.

8.1%ย ย  (Current US unemployment rate)

47%ย ย  (How many Americans Mitt Romney said he didnโ€™t care about since they donโ€™t take responsibility for themselves and see themselves as โ€˜victimsโ€™)

46.2 millionย ย  (How many Americans are in poverty)

And my personal favorite, 10,000.ย ย  ($10,000 dollars, the amount of money Mitt Romney can afford to throw around in a causual bet)

26 numbers for you to listen for in tonightโ€™s debate:ย  NY Times story here.
