Mitt Romney ran for Governor of Massachusetts promising more jobs, decreased debt, and smaller government.

Here's what Massachusetts got instead:

Jobs: 47th out of 50 states in job creation
Taxes and fees: Increased more than $750 million per year
Long-term debt: Increased more than $2.6 billion

Fact is, Romney economics didn't work then, and won't work now.

David Axelrod's press conference at the Massachusetts State House

President Obama’s top strategist, David Axelrod, scheduled a morning press conference at the Massachusetts State House. One of Obama’s top surrogates, Governor Deval Patrick, agreed to appear on CNN and MSNBC. And the president’s campaign committee released a documentary-style video that attempts to put Mitt Romney’s four-year term as the state’s governor in the harshest light possible.

AXELROD SPEAKS: Says he's happy Romney started creating jobs in Mass. "Too bad it's for hecklers..." #mapoli

I hope there is a video up soon. Looks like the Willards were there to disrupt and they did. I'm sure we'll return the favor asap.

.@MittRomney doesn't want to talk about his record as Gov. and now he's sent his campaign staff to drown out other people discussing it.

On these pro-Romney protesters at Axelrod/Dem event in Boston: Team Romney will reap what it sows someday, probably soon.

Byron York ‏@ByronYork
Axelrod at Boston presser, on pro-Romney noisemakers: 'I get tweets from some of these folks, so I feel close to them.'

Which leads me to ask.......why do Willard and his minions follow the Obama campaign around like lost puppies? Maybe it's just the pranks of a man who never grew up. Willard must have zero self esteem.

Romney aides disrupt Obama campaign press conference on Mitt Romney's gubernatorial record

by Jed Lewison

Here's a vivid illustration of just how badly Mitt Romney wants to avoid any discussion of his record as governor of Massachusetts: he sent his campaign aides to shout down speakers at a press conference organized by the Obama campaign to discuss Romney's governorship. Romney aides and supporters repeatedly shouted, screamed, and even blew bubbles and vuvezelas in an effort to disrupt the press conference, which was held in Boston.

<..> Somerville Mayor Joe Curtatone mocked the the Romney campaign's efforts. "Thank you for the bubbles," Curtatone said. "It's a hell of a lot better than the smoke Mitt Romney blew at us ten years ago and that he's blowing across America!"

Why did Willard destroy the evidence of his governorship?
