Despite his private sector experience, Gov. Mitt Romney's Massachusetts ranked a low 47th in job creation during his term.

While Mitt Romney was governor, Massachusetts' population declined by3,000 people, with only 45,800 jobs added during Romney's four years in office - an anemic 1.4 percent job growth rate. At the same time, the U.S. as a whole experienced 5.3 percent job growth.

Since Rick Perry has been governor, Texas, by comparison, has added 4.29 million people and 1.077 million jobs, an 11.3 percent job growth rate. During Perry's tenure, state job growth flourished despite two national recessions. At the same time, the U.S. as a whole experienced 1.1 percent job loss.

Since Rick Perry has been governor, Texas' rate of job growth outperformed the nation’s rate of job growth by 12.4 percent.

Perry’s just getting started, he’s in this race for the long haul. He’s got the record to back up his ideas.

Jindal made an incredible case for Perry this morning on MTP. He really was excellent.

It’s exciting to watch Perry’s campaign. While Cain is a boisterous inspirational speaker and Mitt is inevitable, Perry doggedly plows the field. It’s refreshing to see this.

Reminds me of the tale of the tortoise and the hare. I’m glad to see Perry fighting the good fight.
