In Mitt Romney's acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention, he promised to create 12 million jobs. Why this sounds like a high stakes goal for Republican candidate economic analysts think that this number will be reached regardless of who is in office. Moody Analytics as well as Macroeconomic Advisors predicted gains of 12 million jobs around 2016 no matter who occupies the White House in 2012. Why Romney's claim may seem like a stretch, fact checkers see it as a very safe bet to make.
