Romney produced jobs and better education:
-10/1/11 demoinregister.com: When Romney left office the unemployment rate had fallen to 4.7% (so “job creation” would naturally decline).
-6/7/12 factcheck.org: "The ad [democrat] states that job creation in Massachusetts “fell” to 47th under Romney. That’s a bit misleading. Massachusetts’ state ranking for job growth went from 50th the year before he took office, to 28th in his final year.”
6/8/12 USA Today: "As we wrote in an item this week when an Obama ad claimed Massachusetts “fell” to 47th under Romney, in the 12 months before he took office, the state ranked 50th in job creation. That ranking remained 50th during Romney’s first year in office, but by his final year, it had improved to 28th."
His education track record:

The democrat party has always embraced Republican Teddy Roosevelt’s “New Nationalism.”
In a speech on August 31, 1910 in Osawatomie, Kansas TR laid out his agenda for a welfare-state, including:
-A National Health Service
-Social insurance, to provide for the elderly, the unemployed, and the disabled
-Limited injunctions in strikes (unions have always been a privileged class in welfare/socialist states)
-Federal income tax
-An inheritance tax
As to how his agenda would affect our Constitution? He couldn’t have cared less:
”This, I know, implies a policy of a far more active governmental interference with social and economic conditions in this country than we have yet had, but I think we have got to face the fact that such an increase in governmental control is now necessary.”
Democrat President Wilson (1913-1918) said, “You are not here merely to make a living. You are here to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, and with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world. You impoverish yourself if you forget this errand.” He may have been the first democrat to appreciate the potential use of multiculturalism (“If it’s white or American, trash it!”) in deconstructing the Constitution, saying, “No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation.” Obama put it this way: “Every nation is exceptional in its own way.”
Democrat President Roosevelt “let it all hang out” in his speech before Congress on January 11, 1944:
“We have accepted, so to speak, a second Bill of Rights...” [which included]:
-The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation
-The right of every family to a decent home
-The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health
-The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment.
LBJ’s Great Society became the largest redistribution of wealth program in our history – Obama’s “Change” will dwarf LBJ.
It is only because of the Internet, talk radio and Fox News (all non-existent a generation ago!) that we are learning that the democrat party has been so effective in replacing our Constitution with its welfare state model:
-2/4/10 Gallup poll: 61% of liberals have a positive view of socialism.
-6/2/11 Gallup poll: 71% of democrats favor re-distributing wealth.
-9/6-9/2012 http://www.gallup.com/poll/157481/majori… Those who believe government should have more control over our lives: Republicans 15%; Independents, 29%; Democrats 67%.
-Now they have national health care, the foundation of all welfare and socialist states.
