Now, let's talk about Romney.
Romneys Massachusetts electoral record hardly inspires confidence. He was elected in 2002 but couldnt crack 50% of the popular vote. By the end of his first and only term, he had an anemic 34% approval rating and a 65% disapproval rating. Sound familiar? Survey USA ranked Romneys popularity 48th out of the 50 governors.
As Governor, he passed a host of new tax and fee increases, hitting the corporate world hard and devastating job creation. Sound familiar? Romney squeezed out a net gain in payroll jobs of just 0.9%, compared with job growth of 5.3% for the nation as a whole. Sound familiar? Read more about Romneys MA economic record here.
