slow, steady, unspectacular. as you pointed out, rather jaunty tonight with a win in michigan. the other story is there's been six challengers that come up against him, they rise, fall, swing, u-turn, and the only one that remains is romney. i think santorum really had his shot here. he got the slingshot coming out of that three-win two or three weeks ago. he came really close, which would have been a tremendous upset and victory, but he fell short. and like the others, i think it was mostly self-inflicted. the story here is romney's luck in his choice of opponents. santorum, if you look at the exit polls, he had a seven percent edge on those who decided in the last few days. but among those who decided in the last few weeks, he had been up twenty, which means his momentum really slowed in the end. that had to do, i think, with self-inflicted errors. there was kennedy, college and contraception. you know that attack on kennedy, the speech he made in 1960 on religion, and santorum said it made him want to throw up. he talk about college, the fact that he said obama was trying to

one of the exemplars we can use, this is sadly regrettably a record breaking recession and very unspectacular and anemic recovery. we are dealing with taxpayers' dollars here and we have to respect the taxpayers whose dollars should be going to grow the economy, and so there's jobs that the folks decembsperately . if you look at the laws that were passed by president clinton and with the congress in the mid 1990s, there's good evidence that enhancing the requirements for welfare recipients could be credited with a decline in the number o people on welfare rolls. it was sal youtory for the welfare recipient population and there's a great study out at kato. we can provide that to you. and cato is quite an objective analytic body when it comes to this evidence, but i think that arks strong -- that it argues strongly on the evidentiary level to enhance the requirements for receiving unemployment insurance or unemployment benefits will motivate people to even further to search for jobs in a more effective way. respectfully submitted. thank you, mr. charge. >> thank you. senator baucus we have time
