The Jon Huntsman team is stepping up its attack on Mitt Romney's economic record, accusing the Republican presidential frontrunner of misrepresenting his record on job creation as governor of Massachusetts.

It’s the newest round of a low-grade spat between Huntsman and Romney that’s less than 24 hours old, and which started at a South Carolina event last night where Huntsman criticized Romney’s job-creation record in gentle terms.
