Globe Defends Against Romney Attacks

The Boston Globe makes a defense for Romney against attack adds by Democatice candidate for MA governor, Thomas F. Reilly. One interesting point is clarification of the Romney's record on Education:

Massachusetts does rank in the bottom 10 nationwide in per capita spending on higher education, according to a recent report by the State Higher Education Executive Officers. But on a per-student basis, the state ranks among the country's top spenders. Why the discrepancy? Only about half of Massachusetts students attend public universities, compared with about 80 percent on average nationwide.

Interesting twist of statistics.
