What’s so new about 2010? American elections tend to favor the minority party and even gain leverage in their when the economy is in trouble.

According to MOST of the predictions, Republicans were supposed to take both houses and gain a fair advantage in the Senate. But the House did not add up to the projected number and fewer seats were won that many claimed would surely belong to the GOP.

So, 2010 was good, but not nearly as big as was projected.

The author makes false statements about Romney:

"Romney says he eliminated a $3 billion deficit without
borrowing or raising taxes. He has promised to cut taxes,"

Bad Gov. Romney devastated Massachusetts (see CATO)
and Romney raised taxes even for victims ..... in NH.

INCONVENIENT FACTOID OF THE DAY:

Bad Gov. Romney, in another of his “hit and runs”
managed to even raise taxes on New Hampshire residents
while Gov. of Massachusetts.
Believe it or not.

Proven-Failed Governor Mitt Romney should be NOWHERE near government in the USA.

"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Hardly. The projections were pretty spot-on.

But, once again, please tell us who you think we should rally around.
