The Obama and Romney campaigns sparred Sunday over what is the most repeated statistic of the political moment: Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 states in job growth when Romney was governor.
Appearing together on ABC’s “This Week,’’ Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom and Obama deputy campaign manager Stephanie Cutter offered competing takes on the presumptive Republican nominee’s jobs record.

It's really something when a candidate can get away with outright lies and misrepresentation. Mitt and Scott need to drop Eric the lapdog before he costs them another election.
How come the Glob does not report that all this broughaha over employment statistics broke out last Friday, 1 June 2012, the day the latest nationwide employment statistics were announced? Obama hack-in-chief Axelrod was being shouted down on the steps of the Massachusetts statehouse worrying about four year old statistics even while the Obama administration's Bureau of Labor Statistics was announcing that only 69,000 job were formed in the previous month, setting the stock market further into the doldrums. This says something about the idiocy of the Obama campaign sending Axelrod out on the road instead of keeping him behind a desk in Chicago.
