Here's one of the reasons. This is not subjective nor can it be spun even by the expert spinners.
Last summer there were 5 potential presidential candidates that had records as governors. They were Palin, Pawlenty, Huntsman, Romney, and Perry. Here's how they ranked in dealing with their state financial liabilities:
Governor Perry -- Total liabilites increase 60.6%
Governor Romney -- Total liabilities increase 44.3%
Governor Pawlenty -- Total liabilities increase 66%
Governor Huntsman -- Total liabilities increase 21%
Governor Palin -- Total liabilities decrease 34.6%
