61. Democratic strategist Bob Shrum said

If your claim is you should be president because of your experience in business, then your business history should be examined.

Since he's running for president, his governorship should be examined as well. Unlike Obama, Romney took office as governor of Massachusetts during an economic uptick. Massachusetts had a net job growth of 1.4 percent under Romney. However, that was far slower growth than the national average of 5.3 percent. As Romney’s opponents have frequently, and correctly, noted, Massachusetts ranked 47th in job growth over the entirety of Romney’s term.
