Guess how many jobs Mitt Romney has created

[Torie]

The question is vague and ambiguous. Are we talking about Bain, or as governor, or both, and are we talking about where he was the causative agent, or just on his watch, for starters? And whatever jobs were lost, are they ones that Mittens could have reasonably "saved," or would it just be throwing good money after bad?

As to the Mass job numbers, it matters what the population change was over the relevant period as well. Mass population was probably stagnant, so a relatively small number of new jobs would drop the already low unemployment rate there (Mass has long been in transition from a lower wage blue collar state to a higher wage white collar state, with not much population growth - an excellent long term plan really from its perspective). 

All too often these numbers games are not only silly, but false and misleading as well.
