Is Romney's promise to reduce the unemployment rate to 6% realistic? Christine Romans explains

In an interview with Time magazine yesterday, Mitt Romney pledged to get the unemployment rate down to 6% after his first term  if he's elected.

Acknowledging that the Congressional Budget Office has already predicted that unemployment will be down to 5.3% by the end of 2017 regardless of who's in office, Christine Romans says that Romney's goal is doable on Early Start today.

    Yes it can be done, as a matter of fact, the process has already started... when Obama took office we were BLEEDING 700,000 jobs a month..... and for almost 2 years we have seen continous growth..... it doesn't take a scientist to see that we are on the path to recovery......
