Romney touts Mass. jobs record in ad

Mitt Romney is pushing back on the Obama campaign's attack on his record as Massachusetts governor in a new TV ad.

"As governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney had the best jobs record in a decade," the narrator says in the commercial.

"He balanced every budget without raising taxes," the ad continues. "He did it by bringing parties together to cut through gridlock."

The ad cites data being picked apart by Obama and his allies, such as the 4.7% unemployment rate in Massachusetts during the Republican's tenure. The Obama campaign launched its own ad earlier this week proclaiming Romney had "one of the worst economic records in the country" while governor.

The 30-second ad is titled "Strong Leadership." The Romney campaign did not provide information on the size of the ad buy or where it will run, but we're guessing you'll see it if you live in a swing state.
