The Romney campaign e-mailed James Pethokoukis the text above when he asked about Romney's claim that he created 100,000 jobs while working at Bain. Pethokoukis is unsatisfied:
Romney likes to say, "I love data." It’s time he does a better job showing it.
Ezra Klein likewise wants better numbers:
Whatever you want to say about Romney’s time at Bain, the number he is providing to reporters, the number Stephanopoulos was asking about, the number Romney is using publicly, is not net-net. It takes three successful companies of the hundreds Romney was involved with and uses their employment totals now — long after Romney finished working with them. Even Pethokoukis, a Romney-friendly conservative, concludes, "That’s not going to cut it."
