Gas prices

Richmond, Va. --
If GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney's greatest political strength is the nation's ailing economy, his greatest challenge in battleground Virginia could be the state's economic health.

With Romney campaigning across the country accusing President Barack Obama of mishandling the economy, his message could be undercut in swing states such as Virginia where things — comparatively, at least — really aren't so bad.

The situation is a tricky one for Republican governors who want to tout their state's successes without hurting Romney's prospects.

Gov. Bob McDonnell has happily made it known that Virginia's unemployment rate sits at 5.6 percent — the ninth-lowest in the nation. He aired an ad in April that touted the gains made in the state since he took office in 2010.

But, highlighting the balancing act, the Republican National Committee on Wednesday was using the latest report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to paint a gloomy picture for the state, blaming Obama.

When you are at rock bottom and approaching third world status throughout most of the state and many of the cities therein, your economy has nowhere to go but up. I am certain it has been federal policies that are saving the economy of Florida.
