he has taken a big step by a victory in the republican prime for senate. the seat vacated by the retirement of orin hatch. we have the numbers. mitt romney has a 74% to 26% lead over mike kennedy. a victory party in utah. governor romney addressed his supporters here and said to be great, you have to first be good. if i am lucky to become the united states senator from the great state of utah, i will do everything in my power to keep america strong and make sure our economy is prosperous for our kids and grandkids and to make sure my example as a leader is consistent with the values of our great state. a poll a couple of weeks ago showed him with a 42% lead.
the vacuum ais filled with trump s bigger than life personality. i m not sure what helps him at this point, but there s no question that, as jeremy said, the tax bill continues to be an open question, it s not very popular now, it might get a little more popular as time goes by, it might turn out that people will see a little bit of improvement on their taxes and the payroll taxes as we go forward into next november. the romney thing is interesting, because he s a guy that s got a lot of gusto up for attacking mitt romney. it was too late for it to have an effect in 2016. but it s clear, especially the way that donald trump messed him around on the question of the state department, romney doesn t want to do this because he wants to be a senator from the great state of utah. he s been probably the most
