What? Who isn't factoring the shutdown into GDP estimates? Front page news for a month. It's not being ignored or overlooked.

Maybe, maybe not. I certainly dont think the impacts on government contractors has been accounted for. I dont think anyone expected it to go on this long. From what I've seen in a town full of feds/gov contractors is that economic activity has certainly slowed down. The recent momentum of the market may mean that everyone's being too optimistic.
