Stop looking at things through rose colored glasses. You say irrelevant things like unemployment was down under 5% when that was true for many states. You say he balanced a budget in a strong economy when that was true of many states at that time.

He is also on video talking about how much he relied on money from DC to accomplish things and now he is going to cut spending?
This is what I don't get. His accomplishments were the same as all other states during a boom period, he was ranked the lowest out of all governors, and someone thought it would be a good idea for him to run?

Romney's approval rating stood at 34 percent in November 2006, ranking 48th of the 50 U.S. governors
How the fuck can you take that and a month later announce your running for President of the United States? How to Republicans look at that and say "Clearly, he's our man". Let's take one of the least popular governors ever and try to make him president? That's a joke, right?
