Related: About this forumWhile Mitt Romney says the economy is a wreck, GOP governors are boasting of robust recovery
DANVILLE, Va. In Virginia, Gov. Bob McDonnell runs TV ads hailing the states business growth. Ohio Gov. John Kasich tells anyone who will listen that 100,000 jobs have been created or retained on his watch. And Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder promotes a state budget thats on solid ground for the first time in a decade.
All that optimism from Republican governors in key presidential election battlegrounds conflicts with the pessimistic message that Mitt Romney is spreading. The GOP presidential candidate is focused on the nations fragile economic rebound as he works to persuade Americans to dump President Barack Obama.
