He kept unemployment under 5%? Not really. Unemployed under him did in fact drop down to 4.6%, but that was national trend at the time. Massachusetts unemployement rate was slightly lower than the national rate when he took office, but was higher than the national rate when he left office. Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 states during Romney?s four years as governor in terms of job creation. By comparison, Massachusetts ranked 37th in job growth under Swift, and it ranked 10th in Patrick?s first term.
Romney left office with a 37% approval rating.

Sounds like you got it all figured out and Romney was a terrible, terrible governor. The guy must have no leadership skills at all.
Guess it doesn't matter since he's a long shot to win the electoral college.
And my guy Johnson won't win.
So you get Obama for four more years.
I hope he figures out what he's doing since you seem to think he's doing a better job as President than Romney did as governor. I hope you're right.
