199 # was behind by 15 points to mike dukakis, he won by ten points. bill clinton was behind in may and june of 1992, i remember that, i was in the first bush white house and they were all feeling good about hey, clinton is way behind, he won pretty easily. so romney or santorum or the republican nominee, whoever it is, will have a chance to reset the race after the primary is over, republicans and conservatives shouldn t get too discouraged about a snapshot called now that shows he s down by six points. jon: because again, the good news for mitt romney, he s up to 38 percent support among all republican voters in this poll, that s up ten points in the last month or so. and i m impressed by his numbers, the tea party actiists i think he s beginning to make that sale, there was a resistance to romney at the beginning. let s see what santorum does tomorrow. i don t like it when people like me, people in washington, try to jump ahead of the voters. let the voters vote. that s why we hav
