Tune in tonight at 10pm ET for a special Friday edition of The Last Word. We'll discuss the long-awaited September jobs report, which puts the current unemployment rate at 7.8 percent — the lowest it's been since President Obama took the oath of office in 2009. It's a nice pick-me-up for Team Obama after the president's so-so debate performance.
