a blue state twice. and then got lost by a point. yes. it was a very bad year for republicans. kelly, i want to get background on rick santorum, especially in terms of how people on the hill view him. you ve been covering the hill for years. what do republicans on capitol hill think of rick santorum as their potential nominee? well, one of the things we saw is that mitt romney really racked up endorsements from people who had been on the hill for a long time. and he was way out front. there was a perception that santorum would not in any way do this well. so he lags in the endorsements and public support from colleagues who worked with him. one of the notable changes is when mike dewine of ohio who was an ohio senator and now the attorney general of the state flipped from romney to santorum. when i talked to people, there is a sense among republicans that there is that concern about the electability factor. would he do as well in november? but now there is increasing concern
