Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign asked Florida Governor Rick Scott to tone down his statements heralding improvements in the state’s economy because they clash with the presumptive repugican nominee’s message that the nation is suffering under President Barack Obama, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Scott, a repugican, was asked to say that the state’s jobless rate could improve faster under a Romney presidency, according to the people, who asked not to be named.
What’s unfolding in Florida highlights a dilemma for the Romney campaign: how to allow repugican governors to take credit for economic improvements in their states while faulting Obama’s stewardship of the national economy. The repugican governors in Ohio, Virginia, Michigan and Wisconsin also have highlighted improving economies.
